Laravel 5.2 Create Database from Migration

Question

is there anyway I could setup(create) database from migration? I want to run migrate and seed, but beforehand it should create database first.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Answer 1

You could create custom artisan command and run it before migrate command.

Inside the command use raw query, you can try something like this:

DB::statement('CREATE DATABASE :db', ['db' => $newDatabase]);

Answer 2

you can do this by new Artisan Command...

php artisan make:database {database-name} {connection-name}

but you have to creat this command first.
