# Postgres For Laravel Library

[![TravisCI]()]()
[![Maintainability]()]()
[![Test Coverage]()]()

Postgres For Laravel is a PHP Experts, Inc., Project meant to ease the use of the PostgreSQL database in Laravel.

## Installation

Via Composer

```bash
composer require phpexperts/postgres-for-laravel
```

## Usage

The library should be ready to be used immediately after including via composer.

### PostgreSQL Timestamps

Postgres' timestamp support is extremely suprior to MySQL's. Yet, Laravel only supports the dumbed-down timestamps
by default. For best performance -including- both timezone-aware and millisecond resolution timestamps, it is best
to let POstgres itself handle every table's timestamps. To do this, do the following:

vendor | project | created_at | updated_at
------------+----------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------
phpexperts | simple-dto | 2020-04-30 23:35:00 | 2023-07-18 19:08:47
phpexperts | rest-speaker | 2023-07-30 09:35:53 | 2023-07-30 09:37:37
phpexperts | postgres-for-laravel | 2023-12-14 17:58:46.381623 | 2023-12-14 17:58:46.417537

**Manual Wiring**

1. Add `public $timestamps = false;` to your Model.
2. Create a new migration: `./artisan make:migration use_native_postgres_timestamps`
