Laravel 5.1 refresh and seed a single table

I'm looking to refresh and seed a single table in Laravel 5.1. Is this even possible?

I have tried the below, but it gives an error (incorrect syntax).

php artisan migrate:refresh --path=database/migrations/CreateTableTimesheet

If I use: `php artisan migrate:refresh` it just says:

> Nothing to migrate

Maybe first just backup the database, drop it and check if whole seeding, migrating and refreshing mechanic works. But first dump artisan autoload.

You could use `migrate:refresh` command that will roll back all of your migrations and then execute the `migrate` command. This command effectively re-creates your entire database :

php artisan migrate:refresh

And you may use the `--class` option to specify a specific seeder class to run individually :

php artisan db:seed --class=UserTableSeeder

The full code will be :

php artisan migrate:refresh
php artisan db:seed --class=UserTableSeeder

Hope this helps.

Its better to truncate your same table first and then seed:-

public function run()
{
Table::truncate();
//seed your table here
}

then you can run your same seeder like this:-

php artisan db:seed --class=YourSeeder

```
php artisan tinker
```

```

>>> App\Status::truncate()

```

Will clear the statuses table

So you can do
```

>>> App\{MODEL_CLASS}::truncate()

```


--------------------------------------------

I found this quite useful when I don't want to clear all the tables, especially users.

I don't think any answer so far addresses the question of migrating and seeding a **single** table. So, given the migration file `database/migrations/create_foo_table.php` and the seed file `database/seeds/FooTableSeeder.php`, which contains the `FooTableSeeder` seed class, you can do the following:

```
php artisan migrate:refresh --path=database/migrations/create_foo_table.php
php artisan db:seed --class=FooTableSeeder
```

This will rollback, migrate and seed your Foo table. See: [rolling back migrations][1] and [running seeders][2] in the Laravel 5.1 documentation (at the time of writing this, Laravel 7.x is out and the syntax has not changed).

You can do it in two steps:

1. Refresh your specific table:
```
php artisan migrate:refresh --path=database/migrations/00_create_foo_table.php
```
2. Seed tables set in `database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php`:
```
composer dump-autoload
php artisan db:seed
```

**=== Extra information ===**

You can comment the seeders you don't want to use in `DatabaseSeeder.php`:
```
<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$this->call([
FooSeeder::class,
// BarSeeder::class,
// UserSeeder::class,
]);
}
}
```
In this example, only `database/seeds/FooSeeder.php` will be passed.

include full table name <br>
example
```
php artisan migrate:refresh --path='database/migrations/2014_10_12_000000_create_table_timesheet.php'
```
