Laravel Craftsman

Description

Laravel Craftsman (written using the awesome Laravel-Zero CLI builder) provides a suite of crafting assets using a project agnostic CLI.

You can quickly create class, command, controller, event, factory, form-request, listener, migration, model, resource, rule, seed, test and view assets.

In addition, you can create all assets with a single command, allowing you to quickly craft a new resource in seconds!

Commands

The following commands are available in any Laravel project. You can use the individual crafting routines which are similar to the Artisan commands, but the craft:all command is the most powerful of the bunch.

Using craft:all you can easily generate all assets (controller, factory, migration, model, and seed) for a given resource (ie Post, Customer, etc)

🚩Required Parameter / Option

| craft:rule | | Creates validation rule | | | 🚩 Rule Name | Rule Name (eg Uppercase) | | | --template, -t | Path to custom template (override config file) | | | --overwrite, -w | Overwrite existing class | | craft:seed | | Creates seed file using supplied options | | | 🚩 Seed Name | Seed Name (eg ContactTableSeeder) | | | 🚩 --model, -m | Path to model (eg App/Models/Post) | | | --factory, -f | Create Factory (if it does not already exists) | | | --rows, -r | Number of rows to use in factory call (Optional) | | | --template, -t | Path to custom template (override config file) | | | --overwrite, -w | Overwrite existing class | | craft:test | | Creates seed file using supplied options | | | 🚩 Test Name | Test Name (eg CreateFileTest) | | | --setup, -s | Include setUp method | | | --teardown, -d | Include tearDown method | | | --unit, -u | Create unit test (default will be Feature test) | | | --pest, -p | Create Pest test | | | --template, -t | Path to custom template (override config file) | | | --overwrite, -w | Overwrite existing class | | craft:views | 🚩 base resource | Seed name | | | --setup, -s | Include setup block | | | --teardown, -d | Include tearDown block | | | --unit, -u | Create unit test | | | --template, -t | Path to custom template (override config file) | | | --overwrite, -w | Overwrite existing class | | craft:views | 🚩 base resource | Creates view files | | | --extends, -x | Includes extends block using supplied layout | | | --section, -s | Includes section block using supplied name | | | --no-create, -c | Exclude create view | | | --no-edit, -d | Exclude edit view | | | --no-index, -i | Exclude index view | | | --no-show, -w | Exclude show view |

Defining Class Path

When crafting resources which are not automatically created in their assigned directories, you can define the location to the path where asset is created as follows:

This will create a class in the App/Services path, with filename Sync.php. Directories (including nested directories) will be created if they do not already exists.

Supported Commands

The following commands support defining class path

• craft:class
• craft:event
• craft:factory
• craft:listener
• craft:model
• craft:seed
• craft:test
• craft:views

📝 Template Access

Laravel Craftsman will use sensible default templates which are located in the laravel-craftsman installation location. If you wish to have greater control over templates, you can publish (see laravel-craftsman publish command) default templates into the project directory (<project>/templates).

Subsequent laravel-craftsman craft:xxx commands will first look in the project templates directory, if template not found, then it will use the application templates.

Single Use Templates

In addition to the standard templates, you may also define a single use template which is only used during command execution. Single use templates are designed to reference project specific templates, and you use the <projet> keyword when executing the desire command.

oh-my-zsh Conflict

If you have oh-my-zsh installed, make sure you wrap template value in quotes, otherwise you may receive an error

Foreign Key Syntax

When using the --foreign option when building migrations, you should use the following syntax:

Alternatively, you can supply just the foreign key part (using table_key format) and it will be used to extract the primary table and key. The primary table will be a plural version of the first part, followed by the primary key id.

will be translated internally to use the full --foreign format

Automatic foreign key field creation

When using the --foreign flag, the appropriate field will be added automatically in migration file. For example, if the --foreign post_id flag is supplied, the following will be added to new migration

Field Option Syntax

When using the --fields option when building migrations, you should use the following syntax: Note: If you have used teh --foreign flag as outlined above, the foreign key field will be added automatically

Rules Option Syntax

When using the --rules option when building form requests, you should use the following syntax:

Tips

💡 Boolean Option Shortcut

When executing any of the laravel-craftsman commands, if you wish to apply one or more switches (those options which do not require a corresponding value), you can use the standard CLI shorthands (this tip can be used in any CLI based tool, not just laravel-craftsman (well assuming the CLI actually supports shorthand).

For example:

Lets assume you wish to wish to create views, you can use the following command to skip creation of the create (-c), edit (-d) and show (-w) views (only creating the index view). The combination of -cdw is shorthand for --no-create --no-edit --no-show

is same as

💡 Defining Nested Paths

Any command can store assets within tested folders within default path by separating name argument with forward slash For example, the following command will define the path for model asset in the App/Models/<name> path

Custom Templates

Laravel Craftsman provides support for creating custom templates if you wish to change the syntax to match your personal style. The default templates use the standard Laravel syntax, but we like to allow ou have your own flair (see laravel-craftsman publish for greater template control).

📝 User Custom Templates

If you wish to create derivatives of the supported templates, you can customize the config.php located in the laravel-craftsman directory. By default, this will be ~/.composer/vendor/codedungeon/laravel-craftsman, but may be different depending on the method you chose to install laravel-craftsman.

📝 Single Use Template

In addition to creating templates and configuring the config.php file, you may optionally supply a template to be used as single use (not stored) from all command execution For example, if you wish to create a standard class asset, you can use a single use template as follows:
