Introduction

This package contains command line utilities for database operations like backup, restore and create.

Dependencies

The following packages are used as dependencies:

• Laravel Dotenv Editor (https://github.com/JackieDo/Laravel-Dotenv-Editor)
• Laravel Dropbox Driver (https://github.com/benjamincrozat/laravel-dropbox-driver)
• Filesystem Adapter for Google Drive (https://github.com/nao-pon/flysystem-google-drive)

Configuration

• Publish the configuration using command php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Vizrex\LaravelDbUtils\LaravelDbUtilsProvider'

• This will publish dbutils.php to config/

• In dbutils.php, you can set default behaviour for included command line utilities.

• Add the following sections in disks array in your config/filesystems

    'dropbox' => [
        'driver' => 'dropbox',
        'token' => env('DROPBOX_TOKEN'),
    ],
  
    'google' => [
        'driver' => 'google',
        'clientId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID'),
        'clientSecret' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET'),
        'refreshToken' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN'),
        'folderId' => env('GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID'),
    ], 
  

  You also need to add these variables in .env with their values.

    DROPBOX_TOKEN=xxxxxxx
  
    GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxxxx
    GOOGLE_DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxx
    GOOGLE_DRIVE_REFRESH_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxx
    GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=xxxxxxxxxx
  

• This will be used to upload database backup file to dropbox and google drive.
