README

Simple Laravel development checkpoints for your database and local storage disks.

Quick start

Install the package:

composer require kamellion-dev/laravel-checkpoint

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider, so the commands become available immediately:

php artisan checkpoint:save
php artisan checkpoint:load

Saved checkpoints are stored in the project's .dev-checkpoint folder.

Load a specific checkpoint folder by name:

php artisan checkpoint:load --name=your_checkpoint_folder

Load a checkpoint and re-run migrations when needed:

php artisan checkpoint:load --migrate

Clear all saved checkpoints:

php artisan checkpoint:clear

Package structure

This package keeps its classes inside src/ and registers them through a service provider instead of copying files into the host application's app/ directory.

• src/commands/CheckpointSave.php
• src/commands/CheckpointLoad.php
• src/commands/CheckpointClear.php
• src/services/DatabaseCheckpointService.php
• src/LaravelCheckpointServiceProvider.php

To the consuming Laravel app, the commands behave like native Artisan commands without physically adding files under app/Console/Commands or app/Services.

Packagist publish checklist

1. Push this repository to GitHub at https://github.com/Kamellion-Dev/laravel-checkpoint.
2. Create a Packagist account and submit the repository URL.
3. Make sure the default branch contains this composer.json and the package source.
4. Tag a release, for example v1.0.0, then push the tag:

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin main --tags

1. On Packagist, click Update or enable the GitHub hook so new tags are indexed automatically.

Notes

• Composer package names must be lowercase, so the package name is kamellion-dev/laravel-checkpoint.
• Auto-discovery is enabled through the extra.laravel.providers section in composer.json.
• No publish step is required because the commands and service are resolved directly from the package.
