I'm discussing an efficient approach to execute the Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints()
whenever an artisan migrate:refresh
command is executed. For instance, we can integrate it into the migration file within the down()
method. Here's an example:
public function down()
{
Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints(); // Disable foreign key constraints
Schema::dropIfExists('table'); // Delete the table
Schema::enableForeignKeyConstraints(); // Re-enable foreign key constraints
}
Is there an event designed for table drops that we can leverage by invoking it in the AppServiceProvider
? This would be a more streamlined solution than adding these two lines to each migration file.
Laravel will trigger MigrationsStarted and MigrationsEnded events during the migration process.
You may consider implementing the following methods in EventServiceProvider:
use Illuminate\Database\Events\MigrationsEnded;
use Illuminate\Database\Events\MigrationsStarted;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
public function boot()
{
// Listen for the event that migrations are starting.
Event::listen(MigrationsStarted::class, function () {
Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints();
});
// Listen for the event that migrations have ended.
Event::listen(MigrationsEnded::class, function () {
Schema::enableForeignKeyConstraints();
});
}
