When we start a new project Lumber can generates automatically most relationships and models.

However I’d like to know if there is a way to generate the model, route and forest files automatically when the projet/env already exists. Now if I add a table or a field I have to add/modify these file manually.

Is there a way to use Lumber to generate/modify those files ?

Thanks for your help

Hi @Ilias_El-mhamdi ,

Welcome to the Forest 🙂

For now, indeed you have to write model updates manually.  
But good news, updating your models with lumber is a feature currently in development.

Best,
