make:model also creates a migration

Hi @stefr,

It's a new feature added recently, you can see that on the last video on Laracast (https://laracasts.com/series/build-your-first-app-in-laravel/episodes/9).

If you don't want a migration with your model you can just add the option --skip-migration on your command.

Hi @AtoZ,

Thanks! I thought I was doing something wrong. I'm going to watch that latest video now :-)

Thanks!

I bumped into that one too. In my version it's: php artisan make:model Article --no-migration

I was wondering. Shouldn't it have been better for backwards compatibility if the option would be --add-migration ?

If you think about it, every time you make a model...you also want a migration. So it makes good sense.

If you use the laracasts/generators package, the same is true the other way around. If you generate a migration, you get a model too.

@JefferyWay, I'm using Laravel 5.1, but I'm not getting a migration and model at the same time.

php artisan make:model Task
Model created successfully.

I'm ok with this behavior, but I'm wondering why yours works differently.

Laravel Framework version 5.1.6 (LTS)

php artisan make:model test
Model created successfully.

php artisan make:model test2 --migration
Model created successfully.
Created Migration: 2015_07_09_132827_create_test2s_table

@RomainLanz @stefr what version are you using?

Four months ago he was probably using 5.0. Since 5.1 creating migrations for models is opt-in so you would have to use the --migration flag in order to get migrations.

Try: artisan make:model Tickets -m

artisan make:model Ticket -m **

:)

So whts the difference between a model and a migration???

@shanaka111 a model interact with the data base. is where you can declare the relationships with other tables and a migration is used to create tables in the database or modify them

Should be work as

$ php artisan make:model Settings --no-migration

Model created successfully.

In Laravel 5.x, you can use the following artisan command to create Model, Controller, Migration and Factory all at once in one single command.

php artisan make:model Task -a
