Download the PHP package filippo-toso/laravel-domain-library without Composer

Why does it exist?

I read the Laravel Beyond CRUD series and decided this is the way. But I'm a lazy coder: I really don't like to write a lot of code. So, I needed a toolkit to automate as much coding as possible. And here it is!

Requirements

• PHP 7.2.5+
• Laravel 7+

Laravel 11 support

I'm a little busy in this period. Laravel 11 has some critical changes that impact this package. In the next few days I'll try to find the time to make a new major release with full support for Laravel 11.

What it does?

It provides:

• multiple console commands to create domain driven classes
• traits and classes to speed up development

The commands prefix is domain:.

How does it work?

Let's start with a clean Laravel installation. From your favorite shell:

Then install the library:

The additional Spatie's packages are required for data transfer objects, model states, query builders and view models.

Now the fun part... First, we are going to build the domain structure:

This command will create a new src folder that will contain 3 namespaces App, Domain and Support. It will also rewire the Laravel application to work with this new directory structure (ie. moving middlewares and providers, updating the bootstrap code, introducing a new Application class, and so on).

At this point you can start building your domain driven application. Let's create the structure for a sample domain named Invoices

Then we will prepare the administrative application part for this domain:

Making domain classes

With this library you can make the following classes:

• Models (with support for custom collections, query builders and subscribed events)
• Model's states (using spatie/laravel-model-states)
• Model's subscribers and model events (automagically linked to models)
• Model's query builders (automagically loaded)
• Model's collections (automagically loaded)
• Data transfer objects (using spatie/data-transfer-object)
• HTTP queries (using spatie/laravel-query-builder)
• View models (using spatie/laravel-view-models)
• Actions
• Form requests

All the commands include a --force option to overwrite existing classes. Please keep in mind that with great power comes great responsibility

Customizing code generation

If you want to customize the generated code, you can publish the stubs and then edit them.
