This is the third part of Laravel E-Commerce Application

Development tutorial series, in this part we will set up Laravel
Migrations and Seeds.

I assume you should have the e-commerce application project

on your machine, we will start from where we left it in the last
part. In the last part, we added the static assets for our project,
now we will set up our Laravel migrations and seeds so we can
start building the application.

Database Con gurations and Some Fixes

First thing rst, open you .env le and change the values of
DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD to your
ones.

If you want to use SQLite instead of MySQL then you have to

change the DB_CONNECTION value to sqlite and remove all
other DB_* entries. Also you will need to create a SQLite
database le in the database folder named database .

I will be using MySQL so I make changes according to my

machine.

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 5/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

Open AppServiceProvider from app/Providers folder and replace

with the below one:

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider

{
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
}

/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}
}

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 6/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

Now as you know, Laravel provides a User model out of the box
which resides in the app folder, I want to move this model le
to Models folder so I will create a new folder called Models and
move the le inside this folder. You will also need to change the
namespace of User model class from App to App\Models.

As we have changed the location of the User model, we will

need to make a minor x in config/auth.php le. Find the providers

array and change it with the below one.

'providers' => [
'users' => [
'driver' => 'eloquent',
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],
],

Once we have these xes in place, we can start creating the

models and migrations for our application.

Admin Model, Migration and Seed

In our application we want to have a separate login for our
admin section and separate login for the customers, keeping
this in mind we will add a new model called Admin. As I said
earlier, Laravel comes with a User model which we will use for
our customers, for the purpose of their login, registration and
accounts management.

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 7/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

Now we will start creating the model, migrations, and seed for
the Admin. Go to your terminal and run below artisan
commands to generate the model, migrations and database
seed.

php artisan make:model Models\\Admin -m

php artisan make:seed AdminsTableSeeder

Go to database/migrations folder and open admins migration

le. Replace the up() function with the below one:

/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('admins', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 8/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

Now open the Admin model class (app/Models/Admin.php) and

replace the whole class with the below ones.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class Admin extends Authenticatable

{
use Notifiable;

/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];

/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 9/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}

Now we will update the seeding class for our Admin model, for
that open the AdminsTableSeeder class from database/seeds
folder and replace with the below content:

use App\Models\Admin;
use Faker\Factory as Faker;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class AdminsTableSeeder extends Seeder

{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$faker = Faker::create();

Admin::create([
'name' => $faker->name,

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 10/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

'email' => '[email protected]',

'password' => bcrypt('password'),
]);
}
}

As you can see in this seed class we are adding the Admin
model using the use keyword and also adding Faker to generat
dummy names.

Within the run function of this class, we are creating a new

instance of the Faker library by calling it’s create method. Next,
we are creating a new admin entry with the information
provided.

Adding Admin Seed to Database Seeder

Open the DatabaseSeeder class from within the
database/seeds folder and add the below line in the run()

function.

$this->call(AdminsTableSeeder::class);

This line will call our AdminsTableSeeder class when we run

the db:seed artisan command and create database entries for us.

Running Migrations and Seed

Open your terminal and run the below command:

https://www.larashout.com/admin-model-migration 11/26
2/13/2020 Laravel E-Commerce Application Development - Admin Model and Migration | LaraShout

php artisan migrate --seed

After running this command, you will see the following output
in the terminal.

Migration table created successfully.

Migrating: 2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table
Migrated: 2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table
Migrating: 2014_10_12_100000_create_password_resets_table
Migrated: 2014_10_12_100000_create_password_resets_table
Migrating: 2019_05_16_084727_create_admins_table
Migrated: 2019_05_16_084727_create_admins_table
Seeding: AdminsTableSeeder
Database seeding completed successfully.

Now if you open your database and check the admins’ table,
you will nd a new entry was added to your admin table.

Final Word
In this part, we simply created the Admin model and migration
with database seed. My plan was to create all models and
migrations for our application, but I changed my mind to create
models and migrations as we go. It will be easier for you to
digest the information and I can explain each and every step.

Code Repository

You can nd the code base of this series on Laravel

eCommerce Application repository.

In the next part of this series, we will create the authentication

for our Admin model to access the admin section of our
application. We will also make sure only admins can access the
admin section using the Laravel middlewares.
