Laravel DB Import

Laravel database import package for easy manipulations
Purposes
This package will help you import your production database. It can be use to migrate current production server to another server or the checkout the production database to test with the same datas, for example., (*2)
Installation
Install it via composer, (*3)
composer require nicklayb/laravel-db-import
Register the service provider in app.php, (*4)
Nicklayb\LaravelDbImport\ServiceProvider::class,
And then you have to publish it., (*5)
php artisan vendor:publish
Configuration
Creating import
First of all you need to create your import class. You create a class in any namespace you want that extends the Nicklayb\LaravelDbImport\Import class. Here is a an example file, I created it in my commands namespace but feel free to put where you want to. See API part for more parameters, (*6)
<?php
namespace Foo\Console\Commands;
use Nicklayb\LaravelDbImport\Import;
class ProdImport extends Import
{
protected $sourceConnection = 'source';
protected $destinationConnection = 'mysql';
}
You must precise at least these two parameters. The must refer to registered databases in your database.php config file. Put your production database connection name in the $sourceConnection and the destination, guess what, in the $destinationConnection property. I highly suggest connecting your source database with a read-only user to prevent mistake. Because if you put the source in the destination, you're gonnna have a bad time., (*7)
Manipulations
If you want a table to be manipulated on import like, for instance, setting the timestamp to now, you can create a manipulation. You just define a method that begins with manipulate and with your table name in camel case format. The method receives an instance of the table row, you must return it but manipulated, (*8)
<?php
namespace Foo\Console\Commands;
use Nicklayb\LaravelDbImport\Import;
class ProdImport extends Import
{
protected $sourceConnection = 'source';
protected $destinationConnection = 'mysql';
public function manipulateUsers($user)
{
$user->created_at = Carbon::now();
return $user;
}
}
Table filter
Sometimes you may need to filter tables to get only certain items like, for instance, only the last 6 months of work. This may be achieved by adding table filters., (*9)
Let say I have a table called orders where I only need the last 6 months items., (*10)
namespace Foo\Console\Commands;
use Nicklayb\LaravelDbImport\Import;
class ProdImport extends Import
{
protected $sourceConnection = 'source';
protected $destinationConnection = 'mysql';
public function filterUsers($query)
{
return $query->where('created_at', '>', Carbon::now()->subMonths(6));
}
}
You will receive the base query in parameter and you should return the modified query., (*11)
Registering import
Since you published the vendor's file, you'll notice that you have a brand new dbimport.php in your config file. In this file you will register all of you import classes you want to use., (*12)
<?php
return [
/**
* Register your databases imports class here by specifying a key
* and the class to manage this import
*
* 'production' => Namespace\ProductionImport::class
*/
'imports' => [
'prod' => Foo\Console\Commands\ProdImport::class
]
];
Executing import
Before trying it, make sure you registered the good source and the good destination, (*13)
You will be able to call it with artisan using the following command, (*14)
php artisan db:import prod
The parameter prod of the command should match the key you registered in dbimport.php., (*15)
API
Here's a list of properties and methods you can override matching your needs, (*16)
<?php
class MyImport extends Import
{
/**
* The key of the source connection created in the database config file
*
* @var string
*/
protected $sourceConnection = 'source';
/**
* The key of the destination connection created in the database config file
*
* @var string
*/
protected $destinationConnection = 'destination';
/**
* Password reset option, yout must specify the table of the users as
* key and specify the new password as the value. Default column
* is 'password' but override it by adding :column
* 'users:column_password' => 'superpassword'
*
* @var array
*/
protected $resetPassword = [];
/**
* Specify tables you don't want to import during the upload by specifying
* the table name
*
* @var array
*/
protected $ignoreTables = [];
/**
* Set the tables to import after all the others, this is useful when you
* are dealing with foreign key constraints
*
* @var array
*/
protected $lastTables = [];
/**
* Set this property to true to execute a php artisan migrate:refresh
* before importing your database
*
* @var bool
*/
protected $refresh = false;
/**
* Specify table by table the select statement of which column to load like
* ['users' => ['firstname', 'lastname']]
*
* @var array
*/
protected $selects = [];
/**
* Show table command, it may change depending on your database server
*
* @var string
*/
protected $showTablesCommand = 'SHOW TABLES';
/**
* Key for default password when using reset passwords
*
* @var string
*/
protected $defaultPasswordColumn = 'password';
/**
* Method that hashes password
*
* @param string $password
* @return string
*/
public function hashPassword($password)
{
return bcrypt($password);
}
/**
* Fill the array with Closures to execute before starting the import
*
* @return array
*/
public function preImport()
{
return [];
}
/**
* Fill the array with Closures to execute after the import is done
*
* @return array
*/
public function postImport()
{
return [];
}
}
Conclusion
Thank you for using, testing and improving it and feel free to contact me for any question., (*17)
