How to create Laravel model from migration?

Question

I found many results how to create migration from a model, but is there any way to create a model from migrations?

Basically I want to give a table name, and if there is multiple migration files (one to create and others to update the previous states) the model could be updated.

Is there any solution for this?

I create a migration what define name and size fileds. Later I create an other migration what is extend this table with a color filed. Now this is 2 files in migrations. If I generate model only from the first one it will be not good. — netdjw

...but you would only want one Model as there is only one table. So, what would you want to change in that model class based on the 2nd migration? — Rwd

Okay, in my head was the migration files, not the tables. Now I understand you. — netdjw

I'm not sure that there's a good way to create a model directly from migrations, as it depends on what database you use as to the exact structure of your tables.

There seems to be a package which support generating the models from your database, however: https://github.com/laracademy/generators

I using many migrations with many fields, and if the generated models aren't perfect is better than write each by hand.

The package above should work correctly, provided your database is migrated when you run the generation command.

Warning: the package above laraacademy/generators did NOT work well for me. It created the wrong fields. fyi
