README

A collection of handy Laravel Artisan commands for generating actions, DTOs, and configuring databases.

Requires PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 12 or 13.

Installation

composer require esfredderick/useful-artisan-commands --dev

Auto-discovery registers the commands automatically.

Commands

make:action

Generates an action class in app/Actions/. The Action suffix is auto-appended.

php artisan make:action CreateUser
# -> app/Actions/CreateUserAction.php

php artisan make:action Billing/ChargeInvoice
# -> app/Actions/Billing/ChargeInvoiceAction.php

Option	Description
-d, --data	Also generate a matching DTO class
-f, --force	Overwrite if file already exists

make:data

Generates a final readonly DTO class in app/Data/. The Data suffix is auto-appended.

php artisan make:data CreateUser
# -> app/Data/CreateUserData.php

Option	Description
-f, --force	Overwrite if file already exists

app:config-db

Interactive prompt to configure PostgreSQL connection details in your .env file.

php artisan app:config-db

Prompts for host, port, database name, username, password, and migrations table. Supports schema.table notation for the migrations table.

Customizing Stubs

Publish the stubs to customize the generated file templates:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=useful-artisan-commands-stubs

This copies action.stub and data.stub to your project's stubs/ directory. The commands will use your local stubs over the package defaults.
