What are Migrations?

Migrations are Laravel's way of version controlling your database schema. They allow you to:

  • Track database schema changes in version control
  • Set up fresh databases easily
  • Share schema with team members
  • Roll back changes if needed
  • Test with fresh database instances

Generated Migrations

All 83 migration files are located in database/migrations/ including:

Core Tables

users, companies, admins, jobs

Application System

job_apply, job_skills, job_types

Packages & Payments

packages, payment_history

Profile System

profile_cvs, education, experience

Master Data

countries, cities, industries

Content

blogs, sliders, testimonials

Using Migrations

Fresh Installation (New Environment)

php artisan migrate

This creates all 74 tables in your database.

Fresh Database for Testing

php artisan migrate:fresh
Warning: This command drops all tables and recreates them. Only use on development/testing environments!

Rollback Last Migration

php artisan migrate:rollback

Check Migration Status

php artisan migrate:status
For Existing Database: Your current database already has all tables. Don't run migrations on production - they're for documentation and new environments only.

API Updates for React/React Native Apps (Version 6.1)

Job Questions Feature - API Integration Guide

Overview

Version 6.1 introduces a new Job Questions feature that allows companies to add custom questions to job posts. Jobseekers answer these questions when applying for jobs. This guide explains how to integrate this feature in your React or React Native application.

1. Get Job Details with Questions

Endpoint: GET /api/job/{job_slug}

Response: The job detail response now includes a job_questions array:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "job": {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "Software Developer",
      "slug": "software-developer",
      // ... other job fields
      "job_questions": [
        {
          "id": 1,
          "job_id": 1,
          "question_title": "What is your experience with React?",
          "order": 0,
          "created_at": "2025-12-11T10:00:00.000000Z",
          "updated_at": "2025-12-11T10:00:00.000000Z"
        },
        {
          "id": 2,
          "job_id": 1,
          "question_title": "Why do you want to work with us?",
          "order": 1,
          "created_at": "2025-12-11T10:00:00.000000Z",
          "updated_at": "2025-12-11T10:00:00.000000Z"
        }
      ]
    },
    "relatedJobs": [...],
    "seo": {...}
  }
}

Important Notes:

  • The job_questions array will be empty if the job has no questions.
  • Questions are ordered by the order field.
  • Display questions in the same order they appear in the array.

2. Get Apply Job Form Data (with Questions)

Endpoint: GET /api/apply/{job_slug} or GET /api/jobs/apply?job_id={job_id}

4. React/React Native Implementation Example

Example: Displaying Questions in Application Form

// React Component Example
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const JobApplicationForm = ({ jobSlug, authToken }) => {
  const [job, setJob] = useState(null);
  const [cvs, setCvs] = useState([]);
  const [questionAnswers, setQuestionAnswers] = useState({});
  const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
    cv_id: '',
    current_salary: '',
    expected_salary: '',
    currency: 'USD'
  });

  useEffect(() => {
    // Fetch job details and questions
    fetch(`https://your-api-domain.com/api/apply/${jobSlug}`, {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${authToken}`,
        'Accept': 'application/json'
      }
    })
    .then(res => res.json())
    .then(data => {
      if (data.success) {
        setJob(data.data.job);
        setCvs(data.data.myCvs || []);
        // Initialize question answers object
        if (data.data.job_questions && data.data.job_questions.length > 0) {
          const initialAnswers = {};
          data.data.job_questions.forEach(q => {
            initialAnswers[q.id] = '';
          });
          setQuestionAnswers(initialAnswers);
        }
      }
    });
  }, [jobSlug, authToken]);

  const handleQuestionAnswer = (questionId, answer) => {
    setQuestionAnswers(prev => ({
      ...prev,
      [questionId]: answer
    }));
  };

  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    
    const requestData = {
      ...formData,
      question_answers: questionAnswers
    };

    try {
      const response = await fetch(`https://your-api-domain.com/api/apply/${jobSlug}`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${authToken}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Accept': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(requestData)
      });

      const result = await response.json();
      
      if (result.success) {
        alert('Application submitted successfully!');
        // Navigate to success page or job listings
      } else {
        alert(result.message || 'Failed to submit application');
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error submitting application:', error);
      alert('An error occurred. Please try again.');
    }
  };

  return (
    

      {/* CV Selection */}
      

      {/* Salary Fields */}
       setFormData({...formData, current_salary: e.target.value})}
