Migrations

Twill's generated migrations are standard Laravel migrations, enhanced with helpers to create the default fields any module will use:

 1<?php
 2 
 3// main table, holds all non translated fields
 4Schema::create('table_name_plural', function (Blueprint $table) {
 5    createDefaultTableFields($table);
 6    // will add the following inscructions to your migration file
 7    // $table->increments('id');
 8    // $table->softDeletes();
 9    // $table->timestamps();
10    // $table->boolean('published');
11});
12 
13// translation table, holds translated fields
14Schema::create('table_name_singular_translations', function (Blueprint $table) {
15    createDefaultTranslationsTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
16    // will add the following inscructions to your migration file
17    // createDefaultTableFields($table);
18    // $table->string('locale', 6)->index();
19    // $table->boolean('active');
20    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
21    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id", "fk_{$tableNameSingular}_translations_{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table)->onDelete('CASCADE');
22    // $table->unique(["{$tableNameSingular}_id", 'locale']);
23});
24 
25// slugs table, holds slugs history
26Schema::create('table_name_singular_slugs', function (Blueprint $table) {
27    createDefaultSlugsTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
28    // will add the following inscructions to your migration file
29    // createDefaultTableFields($table);
30    // $table->string('slug');
31    // $table->string('locale', 6)->index();
32    // $table->boolean('active');
33    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
34    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id", "fk_{$tableNameSingular}_translations_{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table)->onDelete('CASCADE')->onUpdate('NO ACTION');
35});
36 
37// revisions table, holds revision history
38Schema::create('table_name_singular_revisions', function (Blueprint $table) {
39    createDefaultRevisionTableFields($table, 'tableNameSingular');
40    // will add the following inscructions to your migration file
41    // $table->increments('id');
42    // $table->timestamps();
43    // $table->json('payload');
44    // $table->integer("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->unsigned()->index();
45    // $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
46    // $table->foreign("{$tableNameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on("{$tableNamePlural}")->onDelete('cascade');
47    // $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('set null');
48});
49 
50// related content table, holds many to many association between 2 tables
51Schema::create('table_name_singular1_table_name_singular2', function (Blueprint $table) {
52    createDefaultRelationshipTableFields($table, $table1NameSingular, $table2NameSingular);
53    // will add the following inscructions to your migration file
54    // $table->integer("{$table1NameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
55    // $table->foreign("{$table1NameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table1NamePlural)->onDelete('cascade');
56    // $table->integer("{$table2NameSingular}_id")->unsigned();
57    // $table->foreign("{$table2NameSingular}_id")->references('id')->on($table2NamePlural)->onDelete('cascade');
58    // $table->index(["{$table2NameSingular}_id", "{$table1NameSingular}_id"]);
59});

A few CRUD controllers require that your model have a field in the database with a specific name: published, publish_start_date, publish_end_date, public, and position, so stick with those column names if you are going to use publication status, timeframe and reorderable listings.
