Phalcon Documentation - Database Migrations

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.2
• Phalcon >= 5.0.0
• PHP ext-posix (Linux)

Installing via Composer

composer require --dev phalcon/migrations

Quick start

What you need for quick start:

• Configuration file (ex: migrations.php) in root of your project (you can also pass them as parameters inside CLI environment)
• Create database tables structure
• Execute command to generate migrations

After that you can execute that migrations (run) in another environment to create same DB structure.

Create configuration file

Configuration filename can be whatever you want.

<?php

use Phalcon\Config;

return new Config([
    'database' => [
        'adapter' => 'mysql',
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'username' => 'root',
        'password' => '',
        'dbname' => 'db-name',
        'charset' => 'utf8',
    ],
    'application' => [
        'logInDb' => true,
        'no-auto-increment' => true,
        'skip-ref-schema' => true,
        'skip-foreign-checks' => true,
        'migrationsDir' => 'db/migrations',
        'migrationsTsBased' => true, // true - Use TIMESTAMP as version name, false - use versions
        'exportDataFromTables' => [
            // Tables names
            // Attention! It will export data every new migration
        ],
    ],
]);
