README

Package template helps to create a structure of package with single command. It also provides other commands to generate files just as in laravel.

Installation

Use the package manager composer to install PackageTemplate.

composer require anandmainali/packagetemplate

Enable the package (Optional)

This package implements Laravel auto-discovery feature. After you install it, the package provider and facade are added automatically for laravel >= 5.5.

Configuration

After installation, you have to publish config file.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=package-config

This will generate package.php file inside the config folder.

Package.php

<?php

return [
  /**
   * Main folder to holds all the packages. Contains packages with VendorName. 
   */
  'path' => 'packages',
  
  /**
   * The VendorName will be generated inside the main folder.
   */
  'vendorName' => "VendorName",
  
  /**
   * These are the folders that will be generated while creating package.
   */
  'folders' => [
    'controllers', 'database/migrations', 'models', 'policies', 'resources/views', 'routes'
  ],
  
  /**
   * These are the files that will be generated while creating package.
   */
  'files' => ['routes/web']

];

Now, you can start building your package. To generate package,

php artisan create:package PackageName

And, all the files and folders you specified in config.php will be generated.

Other Available Commands with php artisan

Note:- The PackageName is used to generate files inside the package.

create:model ModelName PackageName
create:controller ControllerName PackageName --r //--r is optional. It is used to create resource controller.
create:migration MigrationName TableName PackageName
create:policy PolicyName PackageName
create:command CommandName --command=command:name PackageName
