README

Generate Eloquent Builder class for enhanced query building and model scope management.

Features

• Dynamic query methods for where, whereIn, whereLike, whereNot, whereNotIn, whereNotLike, orWhere, orWhereIn, orWhereLike, orWhereNot, orWhereNotIn and orWhereNotLike.
• Simplifies the construction of complex queries with readable method chains.
• Automatically handles method calls that are not natively supported by Laravel Query Builder by transforming them into appropriate query conditions.

Installation & setup

You can install the package via composer:

composer require bjnstnkvc/builder-make-command

The package will automatically register its service provider.

In case you would like to change the package defaults, you can do so by publishing the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bjnstnkvc\BuilderMakeCommand\BuilderMakeCommandServiceProvider" --tag=make-builder-config

or stubs

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bjnstnkvc\BuilderMakeCommand\BuilderMakeCommandServiceProvider" --tag=make-builder-stubs

Usage

Once the package has been installed, you can run it via CLI the same way you would for any of the other CLI commands.

php artisan make:builder UserBuilder

By default, the command will try figure out the name of the model from the name of the builder (E.g. UserBuilder will attempt to look for User model).

Additionally, you can pass a model name as a second argument.

php artisan make:builder UserBuilder User

In case the Builder already exists, you can pass an optional --force argument which will overwrite the existing class.

php artisan make:builder UserBuilder User --force

Note: By forcing the Builder command, all custom methods you've added to the Builder will be overwritten so be cautious.

If you simply call the command, without any arguments, Laravel will prompt you for input.

php artisan make:builder

What should the builder be named?
> UserBuilder

What is the model name? [User]
> 

Overwrite existing file? (yes/no) [no]
> 

The name of the Model has been derived from the Builder name and set as a default. Confirm by pressing ENTER or enter the name of the Model.

In case the file already exists, you will be prompted whether you would like to overwrite the existing file.

Once the command has been run, the Builder class will be created inside app\Models\Builders folder.

In order to use it inside your models, add HasDynamicBuilder trait to your model:

use Bjnstnkvc\BuilderMakeCommand\Concerns\HasDynamicBuilder;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasDynamicBuilder;
}

Once added, dynamic where clauses for every Model column is added as an Eloquent method.

User::whereId(mixed $operator = null, mixed $value = null, string $boolean = 'and');
User::whereIdNot(mixed $operator = null, mixed $value = null, string $boolean = 'and');
User::whereIdIn(array $values, string $boolean = 'and', bool $not = false);
User::whereIdNotIn(array $values, string $boolean = 'and');
User::whereIdLike(string $value, bool $caseSensitive = false, string $boolean = 'and', bool $not = false);
User::whereIdNotLike(string $value, bool $caseSensitive = false, string $boolean = 'and', bool $not = false);
User::orWhereId(mixed $operator = null, mixed $value = null);
User::orWhereIdNot(mixed $operator = null, mixed $value = null);
User::orWhereIdIn(array $values);
User::orWhereIdNotIn(array $values);
User::orWhereIdLike(string $value, bool $caseSensitive = false);
User::orWhereIdNotLike(string $value, bool $caseSensitive = false);

// Methods for other database columns.

Naturally, these methods can be chained on:

User::whereId(1)
    ->orWhereNameNot('John')
    ->first();

User::whereId('>', 1)
    ->orWhereEmail('[e-mail]')
    ->first();

In case you need to group several "where" clauses within parentheses in order to achieve your query's desired Logical Grouping, you can do the following:

use App\Models\Builders\UserBuilder;

User::whereName('John')
    ->where(function (UserBuilder $query) {
        $query->whereEmail('[e-mail]')
              ->orWhereTitle('Admin');
    })
    ->first();

In case you would like to generate the Builder method signatures as a mixin, you can use the --mixin flag:

php artisan make:builder UserBuilder User --mixin

The mixin will be created inside .builder.mixin.php file and automatically imported into the Builder class.
