when developing an application with Voyager, it should have created migration-files and also seed-files as long as environment is local. Then its much easier to develop locally and rollout to production without having to export and import database.

Hi there,

I am just following up on some of the old unanswered questions on the site.

Indeed, this has been an open question for Voyager for quite a while.

There has been a discussion about it on the official Voyager repo here:

How to migrate BREAD from dev to prod?

Some suggestions are:

  • Use a package like this one here: https://github.com/Xethron/migrations-generator.
  • Export the key tables such as those for the menus, bread and roles and then import them in production (making sure maintenance mode is on, of course).
  • If you don't want to use a package, manually re-create your menus.

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
