relation-management

When to use

• •When you need to scan models for relationships.
• •When you want to visualize model relationships in Markdown.
• •When you want to ensure the code implementation matches the intended relationship state.

Features

Relationship Extraction

Use php artisan relation:extract to scan your models and save the relationship state to .relationships.json.

Relationship Visualization

Use php artisan relation:draw to generate a comprehensive Markdown file (default: RELATIONS.md) with:

• •Model relations table.
• •Table relations diagram (Mermaid or Graphviz).
• •Database overview.

Relationship Verification

Use php artisan relation:verify to ensure that your code matches the state defined in .relationships.json.

Declarative Relationships

Use the #[Relation] attribute to define relationships directly on model methods, which can also automatically inject reverse relations.

use SchenkeIo\LaravelRelationManager\Attributes\Relation;
use SchenkeIo\LaravelRelationManager\Enums\EloquentRelation;

#[Relation(EloquentRelation::hasMany, Comment::class, addReverse: true)]
public function comments(): HasMany
{
    return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
