Publishing config and migrations from included package in Laravel

Question

I'm using Laravel to build a package which will include some Admin functionality and will include some other packages.

I have included a package which has migrations and a config file, But how do I copy those to the correct folder in Laravel. The package has it's own ServiceProvider but How do I call that from my package?

I'm using the following to register the package in my package.

class CldServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {

    public function register()
    {
       $this->app->register(MediaLibraryServiceProvider::class);
    }
}

I've tried

php artisan vendor:publish 

But it says there's nothing to publish. Because it's only looking at the packages for this Laravel installation, and not the nested packages.

Answer 1

In my case I found I needed to include MY package in the application I was working on. This step was not included in the original tutorial I followed.

So in composer.json in the main app:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "packages/namespace/name",
        "options": {
            "symlink": true
        }
    }
],
"require": {
    // ...
    "namespace/name": "dev-master"
},

And then we run this command from main folder:

composer update

After that running php artisan vendor:publish will include the option to publish the sub packages.
