Upgrading

Upgrade DEX safely and keep your database schema in sync.

Upgrade via Composer

To update DEX to the latest stable release:

composer update olajideolamide/dex

After upgrading, run migrations to apply any schema changes:

php spark migrate --all

Back up your database before upgrading across major versions.

DEX is meant to be backwards-compatible, but major versions may change behavior or defaults.

If a new version adds configuration options, you can set them via DEX_* environment variables:
