Migrations

You can use the regular migration Artisan commands.

Blueprint execution

Blueprint commands are executed sequentially and non-transactional(!)

Collections

You can add ArangoDB's collection config options to the create method.

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $collection) {
    //
}, [
        'type' => 3,            // 2 -> normal collection, 3 -> edge-collection</li>
        'waitForSync' => true,  // if set to true, then all removal operations will instantly be synchronised to disk / If this is not specified, then the collection's default sync behavior will be applied.</li>
]);

See the ArangoDB Documentation for all options

Indexes

Within the collection blueprint you can create indexes. ArangoDB knows the following types:

Type	Purpose	Blueprint Method
Hash	Exact matching	$collection->hashIndex($attributes, $indexOptions = [])
Persistent	Ranged matching	$collection->persistentIndex($attributes, $indexOptions = [])
Geo	Location matching	$collection->geoIndex($attributes, $indexOptions = [])
TTL	Auto-expiring documents	$collection->ttlIndex($attributes, $indexOptions = [])
Fulltext *	(Partial) text matching	$collection->fulltextIndex($attribute, $indexOptions = [])

• Instead of fulltext indices you'll probably want to use ArangoSearch ArangoDB's powerful search engine.

See the ArangoDB Documentation for more information

Dropping Indexes

Use $collection->dropIndex($attributes, $type) to drop an index from within a Blueprint.

Attributes

ArangoDB is schemaless so you can't create attributes. However you can perform some operations on attributes in existing documents.

dropAttribute($attributes) deletes the attribute(s) in all documents within the collection.

hasAttribute($attribute) Checks for the usage (! null) of the the attribute(s) in any document within the collection.

renameAttribute($from, $to) renames the attribute in all documents within the collection.

Views (ArangoSearch)

You can create, edit or delete an ArangoDB view.

New view

Schema::createView($viewName, $options);

Edit view

Schema::createView($viewName, $options);

Delete view

Schema::createView($viewName);
