Preview & Diff Migration Files
"Schema Lens is a Laravel package that extends the default Artisan CLI with commands to preview a single migration file against the current MySQL schema before execution.
It provides comprehensive schema diff analysis, destructive change detection, automatic data export, and rollback simulation.
The tool can automatically export affected data (e.g., to CSV/JSON) when destructive changes are found and even simulate rollbacks to show what reversing a migration would do. It maps database changes back to specific lines in the migration file and offers SQL/JSON previews for integration with CI/CD workflows.
Overall, it’s designed to give developers confidence and control when applying schema changes."
