• Resource Management: Automated handling of views, configs, translations, and assets.
• Modern API Tools: Standardized JSON responses and typed DTOs.
• Enhanced Validation: Ready-to-use rules for passwords, slugs, base64, and colors.

Installation

composer require ermradulsharma/laravel-toolkit

Usage

Package Service Provider

The PackageServiceProvider is the foundation of your package. It automates resource registration via powerful traits.

use Skywalker\Support\Providers\PackageServiceProvider;

class MyServiceProvider extends PackageServiceProvider
{
    protected $vendor = 'my-vendor';
    protected $package = 'my-package';

    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot(); // Handles Blade directives & other auto-registrations

        $this->publishAll(); // Publishes config, views, migrations, etc.
    }
}

Core Infrastructure Traits

Included in the PackageServiceProvider to manage your package assets:

• HasConfig: Manage single or multiple configuration files ($multiConfigs = true).
• HasViews: Automatic directory-based view loading.
• HasMigrations: Easy migration registration.
• HasTranslations: Language file management.
• HasAssets: Manage and publish public assets.
• HasFactories: Automated model factory discovery.

Database Utilities

Prefixed Model

Extend PrefixedModel to easily manage table prefixes at the model level.

class User extends PrefixedModel {
    protected $prefix = 'app_';
}

Base Migration & Seeder

Standardize your database logic with our base classes.

class CreateUsersTable extends \Skywalker\Support\Database\Migration {
    public function up(): void {
        $this->createSchema(function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
        });
    }
}

API Utilities

Standardize your API layer with the ApiResponse trait.

use Skywalker\Support\Http\Concerns\ApiResponse;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    use ApiResponse;

    public function show($user)
    {
        return $this->apiSuccess($user, 'User found');
    }

    public function error()
    {
        return $this->apiError('Something went wrong', 400);
    }
}

Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)

Cleanly move data between layers with typed objects.

use Skywalker\Support\Data\Dto;

class UserDto extends Dto
{
    public string $name;
    public int $age;
}

$dto = UserDto::fromArray(['name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 25]);

Enhanced Validation

use Skywalker\Support\Validation\Rules\{StrongPassword, Slug, HexColor, Base64};

$rules = [
    'password' => [new StrongPassword],
    'handle'   => [new Slug],
    'theme'    => [new HexColor],
    'avatar'   => [new Base64],
];

Productivity Macros

Collections

• toKebabCase(): Recursively transform array keys to kebab-case.
• toCamelCase(): Recursively transform array keys to camelCase.

Strings

• Str::isBase64($string): Validate base64 format quickly.

Enum Helpers

Utilities for PHP 8.1+ Enums.

use Skywalker\Support\Support\Enums;

Enums::values(MyEnum::class); // [1, 2, 3]
Enums::names(MyEnum::class);  // ['PENDING', 'ACTIVE', 'DELETED']
Enums::options(MyEnum::class); // Used for select dropdowns

Blade Directives

@active('home') {{-- outputs "active" if route is current --}}
@money(2500, 'INR') {{-- 2,500.00 INR --}}
@date($user->created_at, 'd M Y') {{-- formatted date --}}

Logging & Console Tools

• HasContext: Trait for logging with automatic request/user metadata.
• InteractsWithIO: Trait for beautiful Artisan output (successBox, errorBox, infoBox).

AI-Ready Tools

Specifically designed to optimize the developer-AI collaboration.

Project Discovery

Generate a comprehensive map of your project structure for AI context:

php artisan toolkit:discover

Action Pattern

Enforce Single Responsibility for easier AI refactoring:

use Skywalker\Support\Actions\Action;

class CreateUserAction extends Action {
    public function execute(...$args) {
        // ... business logic
    }
}

DTO JSON Schemas

Share data structures with AI assistants:

$schema = UserDto::toJsonSchema();

Testing

composer test
