⚡ Quick Start

Generate a complete CRUD for any model with a single command:

php artisan make:crud Product --fields="name:string,description:text,price:decimal,is_active:boolean"

🎯 Relationship Examples

1. One-to-Many Relationship (Blog System)

Post with Comments and Category:

# Create Category first
php artisan make:crud Category --fields="name:string,description:text,is_active:boolean"

# Create Post with Category relationship
php artisan make:crud Post --fields="title:string,content:text,is_published:boolean" --relations="belongsTo:Category,hasMany:Comment"

# Create Comment with Post and User relationships
php artisan make:crud Comment --fields="content:text,is_approved:boolean" --relations="belongsTo:Post,belongsTo:User"

2. Many-to-Many Relationship (E-commerce)

Product with Categories and Tags:

# Create Product with multiple categories and tags
php artisan make:crud Product --fields="name:string,sku:string:unique,description:text,price:decimal,quantity:integer" --relations="belongsToMany:Category,belongsToMany:Tag"

# Create Category
php artisan make:crud Category --fields="name:string,description:text"

# Create Tag
php artisan make:crud Tag --fields="name:string,color:string"

3. Polymorphic Relationships (Comment System)

Comments that can belong to Posts or Videos:

# Create polymorphic Comment
php artisan make:crud Comment --fields="content:text,is_approved:boolean" --relations="morphTo:commentable,belongsTo:User"

# Create Post with comments
php artisan make:crud Post --fields="title:string,content:text" --relations="morphMany:Comment"

# Create Video with comments
php artisan make:crud Video --fields="title:string,url:string,duration:integer" --relations="morphMany:Comment"

🌐 Automatic Web Features

Form Dropdowns

Relationships automatically generate dropdown selects in forms:

<!-- Generated in create/edit forms -->
<div class="form-group">
    <label for="category_id">Category <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
    <select name="category_id" id="category_id" class="form-control select2" required>
        <option value="">Select Category</option>
        @foreach($categories as $category)
            <option value="{{ $category->id }}" {{ old('category_id') == $category->id ? 'selected' : '' }}>
                {{ $category->name }}
            </option>
        @endforeach
    </select>
</div>

Data Display

Relationships are displayed in lists and show pages:

// In index view - shows related data
<td>{{ $post->category->name }}</td>
<td>{{ $post->user->name }}</td>

// In show view - shows full relationship details
<p><strong>Category:</strong> {{ $post->category->name }}</p>
<p><strong>Author:</strong> {{ $post->user->name }}</p>
<p><strong>Comments:</strong> {{ $post->comments_count }}</p>

🔌 API Endpoints with Relations

Eager Loading

Load relationships via query parameters:

GET /api/posts?with=category,user,comments
GET /api/posts/1?with=category,comments.user

Related Data Endpoints

Get data for form dropdowns:

GET /api/posts/related-data

Nested Resources

Access related models directly:

GET /api/posts/1/comments
GET /api/categories/1/posts
