This newsletter announced the first public beta of Laravel Eloquent support in March 2019. The mail headline names version 3.2.18, but the build released on the send date was 3.2.17, so this page shows the 3.2.17 changelog. The beta exported Laravel migrations from revision checkpoints and model objects to base and derived classes.

Skipper support for Laravel. Download 3.2.18 version

Hello,

Today's Skipper release is quite special. It brings you something, what we have been working on for a couple of months. What is going on? It is a support for Laravel Eloquent framework.

Laravel support is a huge thing for Skipper. It brings some new elements to a model, which we have been discussing with many Laravel users a lot. But still, it is completely new and that's why we decided to release Skipper with Laravel support as a beta version.

We want to hear your feedback

We would be happy for any user, who will use Skipper with Laravel Eloquent support and share with us his experiences. If there is something we can do better, let us know and we would do our best to improve it. Write to us on our support forum or send an email to [email protected].

How Laravel Eloquent support works

Complete support for migrations as well as Laravel model objects is implemented.
Migrations are automatically exported from revision checkpoints defined in the application.
Model objects are exported to base classes and derived classes.
Base classes are updated during every export.
Derived classes are exported only once and prepared for your further editing.
Import of Laravel project can be executed through Database import (MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, SQLServer).
Everything from Laravel Eloquent is supported except polymorphic relations (will be added later)
