Migrations

Twill's generated migrations are standard Laravel migrations, enhanced with helpers to create the default fields any module will use:

<?php

// main table, holds all non translated fields
Schema::create('table_name_plural', function (Blueprint $table) {
    createDefaultTableFields($table);
    // will add the following instructions to your migration file
    // $table->increments('id');
    // $table->softDeletes();
    // $table->timestamps();
    // $table->boolean('published');
});

// translation table, holds translated fields
Schema::create('table_name_singular_translations', function (Blueprint $table) {
    createDefaultTranslationsTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
    // will add the following instructions to your migration file
    // createDefaultTableFields($table);
    // $table->string('locale', 6)->index();
    // $table->boolean('active');
    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id", "fk_{$tableNameSingular}_translations_{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table)->onDelete('CASCADE');
    // $table->unique(["{$tableNameSingular}_id", 'locale']);
});

// slugs table, holds slugs history
Schema::create('table_name_singular_slugs', function (Blueprint $table) {
    createDefaultSlugsTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
    // will add the following instructions to your migration file
    // createDefaultTableFields($table);
    // $table->string('slug');
    // $table->string('locale', 6)->index();
    // $table->boolean('active');
    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id", "fk_{$tableNameSingular}_translations_{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table)->onDelete('CASCADE')->onUpdate('NO ACTION');
});

// revisions table, holds revision history
Schema::create('table_name_singular_revisions', function (Blueprint $table) {
    createDefaultRevisionTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
    // will add the following instructions to your migration file
    // $table->increments('id');
    // $table->timestamps();
    // $table->json('payload');
    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned()->index();
    // $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on("{$tableNamePlural}")->onDelete('cascade');
    // $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('set null');
});

// related content table, holds many to many association between 2 tables
Schema::create('table_name_singular1_table_name_singular2', function (Blueprint $table) {
    createDefaultRelationshipTableFields($table, $table1NameSingular, $table2NameSingular);
    // will add the following instructions to your migration file
    // $table->integer("{$table1NameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
    // $table->foreign("{$table1NameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table1NamePlural)->onDelete('cascade');
    // $table->integer("{$table2NameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
    // $table->foreign("{$table2NameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table2NamePlural)->onDelete('cascade');
    // $table->index(["{$table2NameSingular}_id", "{$table1NameSingular}_id"]);
});

A few CRUD controllers require that your model have a field in the database with a specific name: published, publish_start_date, publish_end_date, public, and position, so stick with those column names if you are going to use publication status, timeframe and reorderable listings.
