## What it is
A Laravel/Lumen package that generates Laravel migration files from an existing database schema, including tables, columns, indexes, and foreign keys. It is installed via Composer and run as an artisan command.

## Use cases
- generate Laravel migrations from an existing database
- reverse-engineer a legacy database schema into migration files
- convert a MySQL or PostgreSQL database into Laravel migrations
- bootstrap a Laravel project from an existing database
- squash database schema into a single migration file
- generate migrations with indexes and foreign keys

## When to choose
- you have an existing database and want to adopt Laravel's migration system
- you need migration files including indexes and foreign key constraints
- you use any of Laravel's first-party databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite)
- you want to squash many tables into a single migration file

## When to avoid
- you are starting from scratch and writing migrations by hand
- you are not using Laravel or Lumen
- you need migrations for databases Laravel does not support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, cli
- domain: databases, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
