README

We can create a package that will be having the common files (Models, Controllers, Migrations, Middlewares, etc) and will be included in all the microservices as a composer package.

This will send email to admin and save contact query in database

How to use it in our projects (microservices)

Add the following block to your composer.json file

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/aatifbangash/laravel-custom-package.git" //URL of your github repo
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "bitfumes/contact": "dev-master" //your vendor/package_name (we can get the name from composer.json file from package) and repo branch with dev- prefix
    }

open the terminal and install/update the package. We have to run the following command whenever we make changes in the package source code

composer update bitfumes/contact

composer dump-autoload

open the route from package in browser. You will see the output

http://localhost:8080/contact

Middleware from custom package

Also, I have written a middleware (MyMiddleware.php) in the package. That we can use with any route.

Route::get('/users', function () {
   // logic here...
})->middleware('MyMiddleware'); //You don't need to register the MyMiddleware in the Kernal.php. It will auto-registered by the Laravel

For private repo

If your repo is private then either generate token from github and add that token to your composer global config

composer config --global github-oauth.github.com YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Or

generate the ssh_key and add that key to your github account

Upload to packagist

You have to login to packagist.com through the github credentials. And submit your github repo url to packagist. Also make sure to create a release with tag (version 0.0.1) when you push your code to repo

git tag -a v2.1.0 -m "xyz feature is released in this tag."

git push --tags

Add to the project

"require": {
        "aatifbangash/contact": "*"
    }

Add with * for the versioning. So every time we run composer update aatifbangash/contact after changing the code and pushing to the repo, the package in the project will be updated with the latest code.

Update package to a specific version

Or run the following command composer require aatifbangash/contact:0.0.3 with the tag number to upgrade the package to the specific version in the project.

aatifbangash / contact
