README

This package extends the migration and seed commands. When you run php artisan migrate and your DB_HOST setting is not set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost you will receive a safety confirmation asking you to confirm running the migration. This package was created out of an issue where I was connecting to different database connections to run commands remotely, I would forget to update the database connection and run a destructive migration on production. Luckily we backed our data up and no developers were harmed.

To install:

composer require smartlaravel/safe-migrate

To test:

You can set your hosts file to aim a random address to localhost, such as 12.23.34.45. Then set your Laravel .env file to use DB_HOST=12.23.34.45. Run php artisan migrate, php artisan migrate:fresh, etc. and you should see a prompt warning you that your database connection is not local.
