FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Laravel Auto-Reg

Latest Version on Packagist PHP Version Laravel GitHub Workflow Status Buy The World a Tree

code-distortion/laravel-auto-reg is a Laravel package that registers your service-providers, configs, commands, routes, broadcast channels, migrations, blade-templates and translations etc for you, in a project with a non-standard directory structure.

Table of Contents

Introduction

By default, Laravel is designed to consume your resources from certain places. For example, when you access view view('homepage') it's resolved from the resources/views directory, config files are loaded automatically from config/* and routes are registered from routes/web.php and routes/api.php.

If you change the structure of your codebase you'll need to tell Laravel where they are. This is actually quite normal in the case of packages that have their own resources.

To do this within your own Laravel project you would use the tools Laravel makes available for packages to register their package's resources.

The aim of Laravel Auto-Reg is to allow you to structure your Laravel project differently to Laravel's default, without needing to manage resource registration yourself.

Auto-Reg is also a great way to oversee your resources.

Laravel Auto-Reg was inspired by the Laravel Beyond Crud book by Brent Roose from Spatie which describes a Laravel codebase that is broken into application and domain layers. The "apps" are kind of mini-Laravel applications but are intended to only contain scaffolding code like Controllers, Middleware, Requests, and Commands, whose sole purpose is to be the go-between between requests (or commands) and domain business-logic which is stored in the "domains".

Further inspiration came from Laravel Modules by Nicolas Widart which introduces modules and are also like mini Laravel projects. The difference being that a "module" includes everything you'd normally find in a Laravel app directory - both the scaffolding "app" code mentioned above but the business "domain" logic too.

Installation

Install the package via composer:

The package will automatically register itself.

Config

Publish the config/code_distortion.laravel_auto_reg.php config file:

And then update the source_dir config value to point to the base of your code. base_path('src/App').

A Laravel Project With a Non-Standard Directory Structure

Here are the steps you could follow to set your Laravel project up with a non-standard directory structure. In this case, moving things from app into src/App, and using that as a base to put the rest of your code.

Update composer.json

For your project to recognise files inside the src/App directory instead of the usual app directory, you'll need to tell Laravel.

You can move the existing App namespace to a different directory, as well as add new namespaces by updating composer.json. The below example moves the App namespace into src/App and adds a new Domain namespace housed within src/Domain:

Update bootstrap/app.php

When moving Laravel's App namespace (like above), you'll also need to update bootstrap/app.php so Laravel uses it when starting up.

Laravel Beyond CRUD suggests using ->useAppPath('src/App'); but in my experience this isn't compatible with Laravel Livewire.

Laravel uses its HTTP Kernel, Console Kernel, and Exceptions Handler classes to handle web requests, console commands and exceptions respectively. These need to exist but you can move them by updating bootstrap/app.php:

Update config/app.php

Auto-Reg will load your Application Service Providers for you, so you'll need to turn them off in config/app.php.

Directory Structure

Note: From here on an app will refer to a group of related files in a structure similar the one below. Multiple apps will exist in your project.

An "app" worth of files may look something like this. It's up to you what you'd like to include or exclude:

Auto-Reg isn't very concerned with how you structure code inside your apps, you can choose what you'd like to put in them.

You can group apps together by grouping them into sub-directories like the example below. It's up to you how granular you'd like to make your project.

A blog website designed to let users register, make + view posts and write comments, as well as have an admin area for admins to manage its users might look something like this:

Provided you have config source_dir value set to base_path('src/App'), Auto-Reg will detect these apps from directory structure:

Usage

First, add the location of your apps to source_dir in the config file. This is the base directory where Auto-Reg will look for files.

You can specify multiple source directories by adding an array instead of a string.

Laravel Auto-Reg finds your resources by matching your directory structure to patterns. You can change these patterns in the config file.

Auto-Reg uses a search-pattern for each type of file. Below are the different things that can be registered.

The ** in a search pattern represents zero or more wildcard directories.

Config Files

Search-pattern: Configs/**/*.php

Config files are added to Laravel's config, with the addition of the app's name being added as a prefix.

The src/App/Home/Configs/blog.php file's values would be available to you using config('home.blog.my_value').

You can turn the app-prefix off and instead access values using config('blog.my_value')

Service-Providers

Search-pattern: Providers/**/*.php

Service-Provider classes (that extend Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider) are picked up and registered. You won't need to add them to your configs/app.php.

Routes

Api-routes search-pattern: Routes/api.php
Web-routes search-pattern: Routes/web.php

Route files are normally registered via a RouteServiceProvider class. Whilst you can still do this if you'd like, Auto-Reg registers your api.php and web.php route files for you (along with the "api" and "web" middleware respectively).

You can customise which middleware is added.

Command Classes

Command-class search-pattern: Commands/**/*.php

Commands classes (that extend Illuminate\Console\Command) are picked up and registered. You won't need to add them to your app/Console/Kernel.php.

Command Closures (console.php)

Command-closure file search-pattern: Routes/console.php

Commands can also be registered via a console.php file, similar to the way routes are registered. Auto-Reg finds these files and registers them for you as well.

Broadcast Channels (channels.php)

Search-pattern: Routes/channels.php

Broadcast channels are registered via a channels.php file, similar to the way routes are registered.

Broadcasting isn't always needed in a Laravel project and initialising it is relatively slow. These might be the reason why the BroadcastServiceProvider is disabled by default in config/app.php in a normal Laravel project.

The broadcast type is also disabled by default in Laravel Auto-Reg, but you can turn it on again via the config file.

View Directories

Search-pattern: Resources/Views/**/*.php
If files are found, the Resources/Views directory will be registered

Blade directories are registered, with the addition of the app's name being added as a prefix.

e.g. The src/App/Home/Resources/Views/blog.php file would be available to you using view('home::blog').

Anonymous Blade components are also available if you put them in the components directory.

e.g. The src/App/Home/Resources/Views/components/button.php file would be available to you using <x-home::button />.

Note: If you find that a blade template isn't picked up by another one, you may need to re-save the parent template file to trigger a change.

View Component Classes

Search-pattern: Resources/ViewComponents/**/*.php

Commands classes (that extend Illuminate\View\Component) are picked up and registered.

Like view directories above, the app's name is added as a prefix.

e.g. The src/App/Home/Resources/ViewComponents/Button.php file would be available to you using <x-home::button />.

Note: If you find that a blade template isn't picked up by another one, you may need to re-save the parent template file to trigger a change.

Laravel Livewire Components

Search-pattern: Resources/Livewire/**/*.php

If you use Laravel Livewire, your Livewire components are also registered similarly to View Component classes.

The app's name is added as a prefix.

e.g. The src/App/Home/Resources/Livewire/button.php file would be available to you using <livewire:home::button />.

Translations

Search-pattern: Resources/Lang/**/*.php
If files are found, the Resources/Lang directory will be registered

Translation directories are registered, with the addition of the app's name being added as a prefix.

e.g. The src/App/Home/Resources/Lang/en/blog.php file would be available to you using __('home::blog.success').

Migrations

Search-pattern: Database/Migrations/*.php
If files are found, the Database/Migrations directory will be registered

Console Commands

List

php artisan auto-reg:list

This lists the resources that are registered.

You can narrow down the results by:

  • Passing in a specific app. e.g. php artisan auto-reg:list --app=home
  • Passing in a specific file type. e.g. php artisan auto-reg:list --type=config

You can also specify how you'd like the results to be grouped. e.g. php artisan auto-reg:list --group-by=type

Save Cache

php artisan auto-reg:cache

Auto-Reg looks through your filesystem to find the files to register, and this can take a little time. This might not be noticeable in a development environment but it's recommended that you run this as part of your deployment process, the same way that you would run php artisan config:cache and php artisan route:cache.

Auto-Reg will cache the list of resource files it detected so it won't need to look for them again.

Please note that when cached, additions or removals of resource files won't be detected until you clear the cache.

Clear Cache

php artisan auto-reg:clear

This will clear Auto-Reg's cache, the same way that php artisan config:clear and php artisan route:clear clear the config and route caches.

Stats

php artisan auto-reg:stats

This lists how long the registation steps take and how many things are registered.

You can reduce the time taken by:

  • Caching the list of files that Auto-Reg detects php artisan auto-reg:cache (described above)
  • Caching Laravel's config using php artisan config:cache
  • Caching Laravel's routes using php artisan route:cache

The broadcast type is relatively slow to register. If you don't need you should turn it off (Laravel disables it by default in a fresh project).
