Create Models from database in Laravel 5

Question

Is there some way to generate models from database in Laravel 5?

The generators package only create an empty model.

Answer 1

If you are using MySQL and Laravel 5.1 or above you can use php artisan code:models from this package: reliese/laravel. All you need to do is:

1. composer require reliese/laravel
2. Add the service provider to your config/app.php file Reliese\Coders\CodersServiceProvider::class
3. Publish the config file with php artisan vendor:publish --tag=reliese-models
4. Make sure your database is correctly configured in config/database.php and .env files.
5. And finally issue the command: php artisan code:models

This package will scan your database and create all models for you. If you need something more specific, you can customize its config file.

Hope this helps :)
