Generate a DTO with a Custom Model Name

dto MyModel

This will generate MyModel.php in the app/DataTransferObjects directory.

Generate a DTO with a Namespace

dto --namespace=App\\DTO MyModel

This will generate MyModel.php in the app/DataTransferObjects directory with the namespace App\DTO.

Create a Base DTO Class

dto --base

This will create a BaseDTO.php file in the app/DataTransferObjects directory.

Specify a Different Directory

dto --dir=src/DTO MyModel

This will generate MyModel.php in the src/DTO directory.

Force Overwrite Existing Files

dto --force MyModel

This will overwrite MyModel.php if it already exists.
