What Gets Generated

Migration Assistant

When selecting Migration, users get:

1. Create new table
2. Create model with migration
3. Modify existing table

Column Builder

For all migration flows, LokyHelpMe can ask for columns interactively.

• Type end to finish adding columns
• Supported types:
  • string, text, integer, bigInteger, boolean
  • decimal, float, date, dateTime, timestamp
  • enum, json, uuid
• Supports options:
  • nullable
  • unique
  • default value
  • string length
  • decimal/float precision + scale

Enum values are entered once using commas or spaces:

admin superadmin helper

Generated:

$table->enum('role', ['admin', 'superadmin', 'helper']);

Validation And UX

• Empty input is rejected
• Class names are validated against PHP naming conventions
• Table/column names are validated for migration-safe format
• Lowercase/dirty class input is normalized:
  • seler -> Seler
  • user_profile -> UserProfile
• Every command is previewed before execution
• User must confirm execution

Database Table Detection

For Modify existing table, LokyHelpMe fetches tables from the active Laravel DB connection and lists them for selection.

If DB connection fails:

Database connection failed.
Check your .env configuration.

If no tables are found:

No tables found in the current database.

Logging

LokyHelpMe logs generation actions to:

storage/logs/lokyhelpme.log

Examples:

• User generated model: Post
• User modified table: users
• User created event: UserRegistered
