I've recently shipped two updates to my Laravel Migration Generator project – focusing on database normalization, architecture cleanup, and future extensibility.
🔄 v8.1.0 – Schema Normalization
You can now normalize legacy schemas using the new --normalizer=pivot option:
- Replaces composite primary keys with a synthetic
$table->id()column - Preserves the original compound key as a
UNIQUEconstraint - Improves compatibility with Eloquent models
Ideal if you're working with databases that were not designed for Laravel-style ORM!
🧱 v8.2.0 – Refactored Execution Flow
This release introduces the SchemaMigrationExecutor and its interface to decouple execution logic from the console command:
- Implements the Separation of Concerns principle (SoC)
- Executor is now resolved via Laravel's service container
- Optionally injects the
SchemaNormalizationManagerInterfaceonly when needed
Cleaner, more testable, and easier to extend.
🔭 Up Next
I'm currently working on:
- Caching – to improve performance for repeated runs
- Model Generation – automatic Eloquent model scaffolding based on the schema
🛠️ Try it out!
