迁移 - 自动创建数据库

Question

I'm pretty new to Laravel. I made a to do application as a school assignment. We have to use migrations to create our database.

I created 2 tables using migrations. My questing is: if you run the project for the first time on your pc, is there a way that the database is automatically created?

Because at this moment, I have to create the empty database first (manually in phpmyadmin) before running the migrations.

Answer 1

Everything you can do with SQL is possible in Laravel. So yes:

DB::statement('CREATE DATABASE your_db_name');

However you might not be able to do this in a migration because of the migrations table that's needed (although I'm not sure about this)
