Laravel Migrations Naming Convention
According to \Illuminate\Database\Console\Migrations\TableGuesser
class source there are two default patterns to guess migration table and stub type.
const CREATE_PATTERNS = [ '/^create_(\w+)_table$/', '/^create_(\w+)$/',];const CHANGE_PATTERNS = [ '/_(to|from|in)_(\w+)_table$/', '/_(to|from|in)_(\w+)$/',];
It should be descriptive enough for you to check back and understand what did you do with DB in this migration.
If you start migration with table_ then Laravel adds Schema::create
.If you have to or from or in then Laravel creates Schema::table
for you. This makes you life easier.
I usually name the migrations based on feature eg implement_user_roles or make_employee_profile_editable.
Make sure you don't use the same class name with your model, it still works but for understanding,
Put create_ if you are creating for example,or
If the tables are pivot to each other make it like article_comment to make sure you will understand when you try to change it 5 months later :)
