Usage
Creating Operation
To create an operation use the make:operation artisan command:
php artisan make:operation some_name
The new operation's file will be placed in your /operations directory in the base path of your app.
Each operation file name contains a timestamp, which allows Laravel to determine the order of the operations. For example,
2025_04_02_121627_some_name.php
Running Operation
To run all of your outstanding operations, execute the operations artisan command:
php artisan operations
The order in which operations are called is checked by file name in alphabetical order, without taking into account directory names:
# actual file names
2022_10_14_000001_test1 # 1
2022_10_14_000004_test4 # 4
bar/2022_10_14_000003_test3 # 3
foo/2022_10_14_000002_test2 # 2
# order of running operations at startup
2022_10_14_000001_test1 # 1
foo/2022_10_14_000002_test2 # 2
bar/2022_10_14_000003_test3 # 3
2022_10_14_000004_test4 # 4
