Configuration

Every setting has a default. Publish the config file only to change one:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-schema-viewer-config"

Key	Default	What it does
enabled	SCHEMA_VIEWER_ENABLED, unset	Unset: on in local, off elsewhere. true or false decides for every environment.
path	SCHEMA_VIEWER_PATH, schema-viewer	The URL path of the viewer.
domain	SCHEMA_VIEWER_DOMAIN, unset	Serves the viewer on its own domain.
middleware	['web']	Route middleware. The viewSchema check is always added.
connections	null	null reads the default connection and every connection a model uses. A list reads exactly those, e.g. ['mysql', 'analytics'].
default_connection	SCHEMA_VIEWER_DEFAULT_CONNECTION, all	What the viewer opens on: all puts every connection on one diagram, or name one, e.g. mysql. An unknown name opens on all. The HTML export keeps it.
editor	SCHEMA_VIEWER_EDITOR, null	Opens models and relations in your editor at their line: phpstorm, vscode, cursor, zed, sublime and the other names Laravel's app.editor takes, or ['href' => 'myeditor://open?file={file}&line={line}']. Add 'base_path' when the editor sees the project at another path (Docker, Sail, WSL). null uses app.editor, in local only; without either there are no editor links. Links with unsafe schemes such as javascript: are dropped.
cache.enabled	SCHEMA_VIEWER_CACHE, true	Keeps the schema the viewer read until a model file, this config, a connection's migrations or an SQLite database file changes. The refresh button (Shift R) reads it again, e.g. after altering a table by hand. The artisan commands never cache.
cache.store	SCHEMA_VIEWER_CACHE_STORE, null	The cache store; null uses the default.
cache.ttl	3600	Seconds before the schema is read again anyway.
models	null	Folders scanned for models. null scans app/Models.
exclude_tables	[]	Tables never shown. Wildcards allowed, e.g. telescope_*.
framework_tables	Laravel's own tables, telescope_*, pulse_*	Shown and tagged, so one toggle hides them. They get no hints.
package_tables	true	Tags the tables of installed packages (Passport, spatie/laravel-permission, Filament Breezy), so one toggle hides them. They still get hints.
hints.ignore	[]	Rules for the hints you have accepted, such as ['connection' => 'mysql', 'table' => 'audit_logs']; see Ignoring hints.
hints.fail_on	foreign_key_without_index, unresolved_relation, model_without_table	Kinds that make schema-viewer:check fail.
