Customizations

Migration stubs

Custom stubs omit the down() method. Remove the custom stubs to restore Laravel’s default migration templates.

Helpers

Add app-wide helpers in app/Helpers.php:

if (! function_exists('example')) {
    function example(): string
    {
        return 'Your helper function here.';
    }
}
