# Snipe Migrations

Blazing fast database migrations for Laravel tests. 

The package takes a snapshot of your mysql database and imports the schema to your test database rather than running 

all of your migrations when the test suite starts up. 

If you have a project with many migration files, this process can provide you with a massive speed improvement when 

initializing your test suite. This package can be used as a replacement for the RefreshDatabase trait that is provided out

of the box with Laravel.

As an example, we tested this on an application that takes about 4 seconds to run all migrations with RefreshDatabase. 

Using SnipeMigrations the tests start up in 200 ms.

## Requirements

1. Laravel >= 5.5

2. PHP >= 7.1

3. MySql or MariaDb, with separate database for testing.

	- For example if you have a development database for your application called `amazingapp`

	you would create a test database called `amazingapp_test` and add the details of the 

	database in your phpunit.xml file. `amazingapp_test` is the database that Snipe will keep in sync for you.

## Installation

Require the package using composer.

```bash

composer require --dev drfraker/snipe-migrations

```

## Usage

**After you've installed the package via composer**

1. Add the `SnipeMigrations` trait to your `tests/TestCase` file. Don't forget to import the class at the top of the file. Once you have added the `SnipeMigrations` trait, simply use the RefreshDatabase trait in any tests in which you wish to use database access, and Snipe will handle the rest for you.

When you're done, your `tests/TestCase.php` file should look like this.

```php
