Problem

By default, Laravel assumes that the table names are in the plural. But, lets assume that we want to generate a model and a migration based on a singular table name. This is possible, but in three steps.

1. Generate the Model

   php artisan make:model Post

2. Tell the model that we'll be using the singular table name

   protected $table = 'post';

3. Generate the migration

   php artisan make:migration create_post_table --table=post

It would be nice to have a single command do all of the above.

Solution

This package will allow you run a single command to accomplish all three of these steps:

php artisan make:model-singular Post -m

You can utilize any of the regular make:model options, e.g.

php artisan make:model-singular Post -a

You can also specify a custom table if you wish:

php artisan make:model-singular Post --table=my_post

You can also specify a sub-directory for a controller:

php artisan make:model-singular Post --cdir=API

Installing

composer require artchik/make-model-singular --dev
