README

A Laravel package to quickly generate API scaffolding — model, migration, controller, and routes — with customizable fields and validation, saving you repetitive work.

Features

• Generate Eloquent Model with fillable properties
• Generate Migration with nullable or required fields
• Generate RESTful API Controller with full CRUD methods
• Auto-append API resource routes with proper controller imports
• Validation rules auto-generated based on field types and requirements
• Simple artisan command interface

Installation

Require the package via Composer:

composer require saleh/smart-api-generator

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Usage

Run the artisan command and follow the prompts:

php artisan make:smart-api {ModelName}

Example:

php artisan make:smart-api Post

When prompted to enter fields, use the format:

title:string:req, body:text, published_at:datetime

• Append :req to mark a field as required (validation and migration NOT nullable)

• Omit :req to make the field nullable

What it Generates

• Model with $fillable properties
• Migration with specified fields (nullable or required)
• Controller with API resource methods: index, show, store, update, destroy
• Routes added automatically in routes/api.php with proper controller import

Example Generated Controller Store Validation

$request->validate([
    'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
    'body' => 'nullable|string',
    'published_at' => 'nullable|date',
]);
