Overview

Laravel Stub Maker is a simple, powerful package for programmatically generating PHP class and interface stubs with an intuitive API.

Installation

composer require ayup-creative/laravel-stub-maker

Basic Usage

Creating a Stub

use Ayup\LaravelStubMaker\Concerns\MakesStubs;

$stub = $this->stub('MyClass')
            ->extends('\\App\\Examples\\ExampleClass');

Using $stub as a string from the above example would output the FQN of the class being created.

echo $stub;

// "App\MyClass"

Calling the output() method would return PHP that can then be written to a file.

echo $stub->output();

// <?php
// 
// namespace App;
// 
// use \App\Examples\ExampleClass;
// 
// class MyClass extends ExampleClass
// {}

Key Features

Automatic Namespace Extraction: The stub() method intelligently sets the namespace
String Casting: Convert stub to its Fully Qualified Name
Output Generation: Easily generate complete PHP file contents

Advanced Configuration

$stub = $this->stub('UserRepositoryInterface')
    ->interface()
    ->extends('\\App\\Contracts\\RepositoryInterface')
    ->output();

Key Methods

stub(): Create a new stub

interface(): Define an interface

extends(): Set parent class or interface

implements(): Add implemented interfaces

outputPath(): Set the file output location

constructor(): Define class constructor

writeOut(): Generate the PHP file

Adding A Constructor

When generating class objects, you can easily define a constructor and it arguments using the Constructor and Argument objects respectively.

The example below could be used to add a constructor, which defines a protected property type hinted to an Eloquent Model with a private scope.

use Ayup\LaravelStubMaker\Constructor;
use Ayup\LaravelStubMaker\Argument;

$stub->constructor(
        Constructor::make([
            Argument::make('model')->protected()->hint(\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::class)
        ])
    );

You can also define simple arguments by passing a simple string value as part of the $arguments argument.
