Agility Data Systems Scaffolding Generator for AJAX Crud

This module creates partial files to use in conjunction with the AJAX Crud JS plugin (https://github.com/DavidVranish/AjaxCrud)

Step 1:

Set up composer, add the package to your require tag:

"ads/ajax-crud-generator": "1.0.*"

Also add a publish command so that the files stay up to date:

"scripts": {
		...
		"post-update-cmd": [
			...
			"php artisan vendor:publish --provider=\"Ads\\AjaxCrud\\AjaxCrudServiceProvider\" --tag=partials --force",
			"php artisan vendor:publish --provider=\"Ads\\AjaxCrud\\AjaxCrudServiceProvider\" --tag=commands --force",
			...

run

composer update

Step 2: Publish the necessary files

Add the service provider to config/app.php:

...
'Ads\AjaxCrud\AjaxCrudServiceProvider',
...

Run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ads\AjaxCrud\AjaxCrudServiceProvider"

Step 3: Add the command to the app/Console/Kernel.php to use in command line:

'App\Console\Commands\AjaxCrudCommand',

Step 4: Set up the location to the AjaxCrud plugin

If you are using Bower, there is no need to modify to config file, simply add this line to your bower.json file:

"ajax_crud": "git@github.com:DavidVranish/AjaxCrud.git"

If you are not going to use Bower to, you need to modify the config file to point to the location of AjaxCrud[.min].js file:

For example:

  'ajax_crud_js_path' => '/js/ajax_crud/js/AjaxCrud.min.js',

Step 5: Add HTML dependencies to your master layout blade file:

@include('partials.modals.delete_modal')
@include('partials.modals.edit_crud_modal')
@include('partials.modals.new_crud_modal')

and

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset(config('ajaxCrud.ajax_crud_js_path')) }}"></script>

Step 6: You can now create scaffolding through the php artisan command line:

php artisan make:crud --controllerPrefix=[Vendor] --crudModel=[Contact]

The controller prefix is the capitalized prefix for the controller that will handle the CRUD request, the model name is the capitalized name of the primary model being edited
