How to create the migrations for database views using php artisan in Laravel?

Stumbled on the same issue and found the solution @ http://programmingarehard.com/2013/11/10/eloquent_and_views.html/

class CreateCompaniesView extends Migration 
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        DB::statement("CREATE VIEW companiesView AS
                        SELECT *,
                        (
                            SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT id SEPARATOR ',')
                            FROM people AS p
                            WHERE p.company_id = c.id
                        ) AS person_ids
                        FROM companies AS c");
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        DB::statement("DROP VIEW companiesView");
    }
}
