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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package laravel-api-from-table

Laravel API From Table

Generate Laravel API classes from existing database tables.

Laravel API From Table is a database-first code generator for Laravel projects. It reads an existing table and generates the API layer around it: model, form requests, DTOs, actions, resource, and controller.

Why This Package Exists

Laravel already provides commands such as:

That command is useful for generating empty skeleton files.

However, it does not inspect your existing database table columns, nullable fields, defaults, indexes, or column types.

This package reads your database table schema and generates more useful Laravel code based on the actual database structure.

Generated Files

Running the command for a customers table can generate:

Generated API flow:

Core Idea

The package does not simply replace words inside a template.
The real value is the conversion pipeline:

Features

Requirements

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

This package is intended to be used during development, so installing it with --dev is recommended.

Usage

Generate model, requests, DTOs, actions, resource, and API controller from a database table:

The generated controller is API-oriented and wires requests, DTOs, actions, and resources together:

Dry Run

Preview the generated files without writing them:

For machine-readable previews:

The JSON output lists planned files, warnings, skipped files, route targets, and test targets.

Force Overwrite

Overwrite existing generated files:

Generate Only Model

Generate Only Requests

Generate Only DTOs

Generate Only Actions

Generate Only API Resource

Generate Only API Controller

Generate Routes

Append an API resource route to the configurable routes path, which defaults to routes/web.php:

Append the route to routes/api.php:

Generated resource URIs use kebab case by default, so a legacy_users table generates:

Generate Smoke Tests

Generate Pest endpoint smoke tests:

When --tests is combined with --api-routes, generated test requests use the configurable API prefix, which defaults to /api:

Generate Relationships

Relationship generation is opt-in. When enabled, single-column foreign keys can generate belongsTo, inverse hasMany, and whenLoaded resource fields:

Example

Given this database table:

The package can generate a model like this:

It can also generate FormRequest rules:
