How to specify folder for laravel migrations?

When creating new migrations and executing your migrations, you can pass in a path parameter through the command line interface to specify the directory it will use to create and run the migrations respectively.

php artisan make:migration create_users_table --path=/path/to/your/migration/directoryphp artisan migrate --path=/path/to/your/migration/directory

In AppServiceProvider, find a boot method and add there following

$mainPath = database_path('migrations');$directories = glob($mainPath . '/*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR);$paths = array_merge([$mainPath], $directories);         $this->loadMigrationsFrom($paths);         

Now you can use php artisan migrate and also php artisan migrate:back when having migrations in sub folders
