README

Generate custom Laravel classes using reusable stubs with Artisan.

📦 Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require danielemontecchi/laravel-custom-makes

⚙️ Configuration

You can optionally publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-custom-makes-config

This will create config/laravel-custom-makes.php with the following options:

• stubs_path: path for storing custom stub files (default: stubs)

🚀 Usage

Create a custom stub

To define a new generator stub:

php artisan create:make service

This creates a stub file:

stubs/service.stub

If the stub already exists, the command will abort.

The generated stub will contain a simple template.

Generate a class from a custom stub

Use make:custom with the stub type and class name:

php artisan make:custom service UserService

This will create:

app/Services/UserService.php

If no name is passed, it will generate (or suggest) the stub instead.

You can also nest namespaces, e.g. Admin/UserService will generate app/Services/Admin/UserService.php

Listing available custom generators

Run the following to see all available custom stubs:

php artisan make:custom-list

The command filters out Laravel native stub types.

📂 Stub management

Custom stubs are stored in:

stubs/

You can edit or remove these files manually. Stub content uses placeholders like {{ namespace }}, {{ class }}, etc.

✅ Supported placeholders

All stub templates can include the following placeholders:

• {{ namespace }}: Fully-qualified namespace of the class
• {{ class }}: The class name
• {{ name }}: The raw input name

🧪 Running tests

To run the test suite:

./vendor/bin/pest

Tests are powered by Pest and Orchestra Testbench.
