Migrating data
When you are developing your dashboard by using tools such as the various make commands, data will be inserted into the postgres database. When you are ready for deployment, you can use the data-export and data-import commands to migrate the data from your development machine to the production server.
php artisan chimera:data-export
Running the above command will generate a file named data-export.sql. It contains the relevant parts of your postgres database (some tables only). You can check this file into git so that it becomes available on your production server.
And on your production server, you can run the following command to import the data you have exported on your development server. If it encounters data that has already been inserted, it will be ignored.
To learn about all the options this command offers, you can run it with the --help option which will display an exhaustive list of all available options and their meanings.
php artisan chimera:data-import
In order to use these two commands, you will need to have the PostgreSQL Client installed on the system (not PostgreSQL server itself, just the client)
chimera:data-export makes use of pg_dump and chimera:data-import uses psql
On Ubuntu, you would install PostgresQL Client like so,
sudo apt install postgresql-client
