Download the PHP package hassankerdash/laravel-modular without Composer

hassankerdash/laravel-modular

hassankerdash/laravel-modular is a module system for Laravel applications. It uses Composer path repositories for autoloading, and Laravel package discovery for module initialization, and then provides minimal tooling to fill in any gaps.

This project is as much a set of conventions as it is a package. The fundamental idea is that you can create “modules” in a separate modules/ directory, which allows you to better organize large projects. These modules use the existing Laravel package system, and follow existing Laravel conventions.

• Installation
• Usage

Installation

To get started, run:

Laravel will auto-discover the package and everything will be automatically set up for you.

Publish the config

While not required, it's highly recommended that you customize your default namespace for modules. By default, this is set to Modules\, which works just fine but makes it harder to extract your module to a separate package should you ever choose to.

We recommend configuring a organization namespace (we use "HassanKerdash", for example). To do this, you'll need to publish the package config:

Create a module

Next, let's create a module:

Modular will scaffold up a new module for you:

It will also add two new entries to your app's composer.json file. The first entry registers ./modules/my-module/ as a path repository, and the second requires modules/my-module:* (like any other Composer dependency).

Modular will then remind you to perform a Composer update, so let's do that now:

Optional: Config synchronization

You can run the sync command to make sure that your project is set up for module support:

This will add a Modules test suite to your phpunit.xml file (if one exists) and update your PhpStorm Laravel plugin configuration (if it exists) to properly find your module's views.

It is safe to run this command at any time, as it will only add missing configurations. You may even want to add it to your post-autoload-dump scripts in your application's composer.json file.

Usage

All modules follow existing Laravel conventions, and auto-discovery should work as expected in most cases:

• Commands are auto-registered with Artisan
• Migrations will be run by the Migrator
• Factories are auto-loaded for factory()
• Policies are auto-discovered for your Models
• Blade components will be auto-discovered
• Event listeners will be auto-discovered

Commands

Package Commands

We provide a few helper commands:

• php artisan make:module — scaffold a new module
• php artisan modules:cache — cache the loaded modules for slightly faster auto-discovery
• php artisan modules:clear — clear the module cache
• php artisan modules:sync — update project configs (like phpunit.xml) with module settings
• php artisan modules:list — list all modules

Laravel “make:” Commands

We also add a --module= option to most Laravel make: commands so that you can use all the existing tooling that you know. The commands themselves are exactly the same, which means you can use your custom stubs and everything else Laravel provides:

• php artisan make:cast MyModuleCast --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:controller MyModuleController --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:command MyModuleCommand --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:component MyModuleComponent --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:channel MyModuleChannel --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:event MyModuleEvent --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:exception MyModuleException --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:factory MyModuleFactory --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:job MyModuleJob --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:listener MyModuleListener --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:mail MyModuleMail --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:middleware MyModuleMiddleware --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:model MyModule --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:notification MyModuleNotification --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:observer MyModuleObserver --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:policy MyModulePolicy --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:provider MyModuleProvider --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:request MyModuleRequest --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:resource MyModule --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:rule MyModuleRule --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:seeder MyModuleSeeder --module=[module name]
• php artisan make:test MyModuleTest --module=[module name]

Other Laravel Commands

In addition to adding a --module option to most make: commands, we’ve also added the same option to the db:seed command. If you pass the --module option to db:seed, it will look for your seeder within your module namespace:

• php artisan db:seed --module=[module name] will try to call Modules\MyModule\Database\Seeders\DatabaseSeeder
• php artisan db:seed --class=MySeeder --module=[module name] will try to call Modules\MyModule\Database\Seeders\MySeeder
