Laravel Make Service

A Laravel package that adds a make:service command to generate service classes with optional dependency injection into controllers.

Why Use Services?

Controllers can quickly become bloated with business logic, making them hard to maintain and test. Services help by:

• 🔧 Separate Concerns: Move business logic out of controllers into dedicated service classes
• 📉 Reduce Controller Complexity: Keep controllers thin and focused on HTTP handling
• ♻️ Reusability: Share business logic across multiple controllers or queue jobs
• 🧪 Testability: Easier to unit test business logic in isolation
• 📚 Maintainability: Organized code that's easier to read and maintain

Example Problem

Without Services (Fat Controller):

With Services (Clean Controller):

Features

• 🚀 Generate service classes with the php artisan make:service command
• 💉 Automatically inject services into controllers using the --controller option
• 📝 Use PHP 8+ constructor property promotion for clean dependency injection
• 🎯 Add multiple methods to services using the --methods option
• ✅ Follows Laravel conventions and best practices

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

That's it! The package will automatically register the service provider.

Quick Start

Let's say you have a controller with lots of business logic and want to refactor it:

1. Create a service to extract the logic:

2. Your service is created and automatically injected:

3. Use it in your controller:

Usage

Basic Service Creation

Create a simple service:

This will create app/Http/Services/UserService.php:

Create Service with Methods

Add methods to your service:

This creates a service with three methods:

Auto-Inject into Controller

Automatically inject the service into a controller:

This will:

1. Create app/Http/Services/PaymentService.php
2. Add use App\Http\Services\PaymentService; to the controller
3. Add constructor injection with property promotion:

Inject into Multiple Controllers

Inject the service into multiple controllers at once (comma-separated):

This will inject the service into all three controllers and show a summary:

Inject into Existing Controller

You can also add services to controllers that already have dependencies:

If the controller already has a constructor with dependencies, the new service will be added:

Command Options

Examples

Create a service with multiple methods and inject into multiple controllers:

This will create the OrderService with three methods and inject it into both controllers.

Use in nested namespaces:

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
• Laravel >= 10.0
• Illuminate/Support >= 10.0
• Illuminate/Console >= 10.0
• Illuminate/Filesystem >= 10.0

Features

Constructor Property Promotion

This package uses PHP 8's constructor property promotion for clean dependency injection:

This eliminates the need for separate property declarations and manual assignment.

Smart Use Statement Insertion

The package intelligently adds use statements in the correct location:

Troubleshooting

Service not being injected?

1. Make sure the controller exists
2. Check that the controller has a valid namespace
3. Verify the controller file is writable
