README

This package is intended for adding modularization capability in your Laravel 11 applications. This package is inspired by the Modular Laravel series on Laracasts and provides helpful artisan commands for scaffolding modules and its components.

Please note this package is created for personal use only and not intended to be used by public.

If you like this package and want to introduce custom modifications, please feel free to fork it and add relevant changes.

To install this package run the following command in your Laravel application.

composer require azzazkhan/modular-laravel

While installing this package composer will ask to allow wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin plugin. It should be allowed as it is needed for properly registering the components for each module. In addition to allowing the plugin, you also need to define the merge plugin's configuration in extra property of your composer.json file.

{
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": []
        },
        "merge-plugin": {
            "include": [
                "modules/*/composer.json"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Next, you need to swap out the default routing definition in bootstrap/app.php with the following one. The specified RouteService will register your app's default web, api and health routes. It also exposes some methods for properly registering web and api routes for each of your application's modules. The event configuration is used to auto-discover Laravel 11's typed event listeners within all of your application modules.

use Azzazkhan\ModularLaravel\Services\RoutingService;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        using: fn () => App::call(RoutingService::class),
        commands: __DIR__ . '/../routes/console.php',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        //
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        //
    })->create();

Finally, update your phpunit.xml file and add the testsuite, source/include and source/exclude entries so PHPUnit scan your module directories while discovering tests.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit.xsd"
         bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"
         colors="true"
>
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Modules">
            <directory>modules/*/tests/Feature</directory>
            <directory>modules/*/tests/Unit</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
    <source>
        <include>
            <directory>modules</directory>
        </include>
        <exclude>
            <directory>modules/*/database</directory>
            <directory>modules/*/resources</directory>
            <directory>modules/*/tests</directory>
        </exclude>
    </source>
</phpunit>

Note that all module:* commands provided this package serves same purpose as their make:* counterparts, thought some modifications are made for easier scaffolding.

All commands supporting --test option will only generate an accompanying Pest test.
The controller, seeder, factory and observer commands will always append relevant Controller/Seeder/Factory/Observer/Request suffix to the class name if not provided while executing the command.
The controller generation command does not support resource related actions.
Event listeners are needed to be manually registered in module's service provider as Laravel doesn't support typed event listeners discovery outside app directory.
