I read README, but I don't get how to use this package.

I ran php spark schemas, but all I got is the messagesuccess.

How?

If you want to view the generated Schema it will appear in your Debug Toolbar, or you can output it to CLI using php spark schemas -print.

Not all of the items you mentioned are completed - see the "Development" section at the end of the README. I started on Migration publishing (see the publish-migration branch) but the client project that needed it ran out of funds so I moved to other priorities. There is a lot that could still be done here but ultimately my needs for this library were to support Tatter\Relations - so while I still intend to finish this some day it is not a currently a priority.

@kenjis Did I answer your question?

kenjis commented 2 years ago

Do you mean Migration publishing is generating migration files from an existing database? There are a lot of technical terms in the README, and I can't get what exactly means. So it is difficult to understand this package.

I just wanted to try "Generate CodeIgniter 4 migration files from an existing database1", but it is not implemented yet.

All the features marked as 1 are not implemented yet, right? https://github.com/tattersoftware/codeigniter4-schemas#features

That's correct. I can update the README to be a bit more clear. This package is old and needs some refreshing. It was my main focus for a while but I took a job with a client that caused me to drop active development so many of those planned features are in limbo.

Migration Publishing was the next feature. I started work on it, you can check out the publish-migration branch. I don't recall how much more had to be done.
