README

This Laravel package helps to automate the creation of basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality, including models, controllers, and migrations. You can also generate API-specific controllers by passing the --api option when running the command. github : https://github.com/nijwel/crud-generator.git

Features

• Generate Model, Controller, and Migration files for CRUD functionality.
• Supports both web and API-based CRUD methods.
• Automatic namespace generation based on the provided input.
• Customizable stubs for model, controller, and migration templates.

Installation

To use this package, follow these steps:

1. Require the Package

composer require nijwel/crud-generator

2. Publish the Stub Files (optional)

If you want to customize the stub templates for your project, publish the stub files:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=crud-stubs

This will copy the stub files into your stubs directory, where you can customize them to fit your needs.

Usage

Once the package is installed, you can generate CRUD operations with the following command:

1. Generate Standard CRUD (Model, Controller, Migration)

To generate standard CRUD methods (suitable for web applications with views), use:

php artisan make:crud {ModelName}

Example:

php artisan make:crud Product

This will create:

• A model Product.php in the app/Models/ directory.
• A controller ProductController.php in the app/Http/Controllers/ directory.
• A migration file in the database/migrations/ directory.

2. Generate API-Specific CRUD

To generate API-based CRUD methods that return JSON responses, add the --api option:

php artisan make:crud {ModelName} --api

Example:

php artisan make:crud Product --api --m --db --r

This will create:

• A model Product.php in the app/Models/ directory.
• An API-specific controller ProductController.php that returns JSON responses.
• A migration file in the database/migrations/ directory.
• Some route content in the routes/web.

Note:

• if you need only api controller just call --api
• if you need only model just call --m
• if you need only DB just call --db
• if you need only route content just call --r

3. Generate CRUD with Namespace

If you want to generate files within a specific namespace, use forward slashes (/) to define the namespace.

This will create:

• A model Product.php in app/Models/Admin/
• A controller ProductController.php in app/Http/Controllers/Admin/
• A migration file for the products table.

Customizing Stubs

You can customize the stubs used for generating models, controllers, and migrations by publishing the stub files:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=crud-stubs

The following stubs will be published:

• controller.stub: For standard controllers.
• controller.api.stub: For API controllers.
• model.stub: For models.
• migration.stub: For migration files.

After publishing, you can find and edit the stubs in the stubs directory to suit your needs.
