README

Hi, this is a forked scaffold generator for Laravel 5.2. using Semantic UI styles instead of Bootstrap

Usage

Step 1: Install Through Composer

composer require 'robbielove/l5scaffold' --dev

install landish/pagination in your project - this project uses it for pagination Controllers

composer require landish/pagination

Step 2: Add the Service Provider

Open config/app.php and, to your providers array at the bottom, add:

        laralib\L5scaffold\GeneratorsServiceProvider::class,

Step 3: Run Artisan!

You're all set. Run php artisan from the console, and you'll see the new commands make:scaffold.

If you would like a Semantic UI based layout; Rename the generated layout.blade.php to app.blade.php, create a folder called layouts in the resources/views folder, place the app.blade.php template in there. Modify this template to your own needs. all generated scaffolds use this template.

If you want to use it for your entire app simply return the layouts.app view to index routes (app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php):

public function index()
    {
        return view('layouts.app');
    }

Examples

Ensure you include at least 1 field for the schema to generate or you will get an 'array to string' conversion error.

(Don't include the default fields: id, name, description, slug, active_flag, author_id, timestamps)

php artisan make:scaffold Object \
  --ui="sui2" \
	--schema="title:string:default('Object 1'), body:text" \

Always use the plural version of your prefix:

php artisan make:scaffold Object \
  --ui="sui2" \
	--schema="title:string:default('Object 1'), body:text" \
	--prefix="settings"

You can also use the old Bootstrap styles if you prefer

php artisan make:scaffold Object \
  --ui="bs3" \
	--schema="title:string:default('Object 1'), body:text" \
	--prefix="settings"

These commands will generate:

app/Object.php
app/Http/Controllers/ObjectController.php
database/migrations/201x_xx_xx_xxxxxx_create_objects_table.php
database/seeds/ObjectTableSeeder.php
resources/views/layout.blade.php
resources/views/objects/index.blade.php
resources/views/objects/show.blade.php
resources/views/objects/edit.blade.php
resources/views/objects/create.blade.php

The generated migration will include by default:

$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name')->default('Un-Named Object');
$table->string('slug');
$table->text('description');

[Your custom fields]

$table->boolean('active_flag');
$table->integer('author_id')->unsigned()->default(0);
$table->foreign('author_id')->references('id')->on('users');
$table->timestamps();

And you will need to run the migration after ensuring it is correct;

php artisan migrate

Scaffold updating and customisation

After migrating you should add the fields that you added to the schema, to the controller as they are not added during the scaffold process. Ensure you add them to the create and update methods and include in validation if needed. The default fields will work out-the-box.

If you have created the scaffold with a prefix - you will need to tweak some of the views as they will not quite match up to the values the controller is expecting.

The stubs use the model name to add the icon also, in most cases this will not match up with a Semantic UI icon in which case you will need to choose one and then modify the scaffolds with the new icon name

The icons next to the fields shown on the create, edit and show views are also using the field name so you will likely want to customise these too. the default 'Name' field uses the Object icon.

Semantic UI icons

Add your Routes to app/Http/routes.php

Route::bind('objects', function($value, $route) {
  return App\Object::whereSlug($value)->firstOrFail();
});
Route::resource("objects","ObjectController");

with prefix: (in some cases you may want to leave off some views such as index and create views) use the previous code if you use prefix groups since the prefix encloses that code instead.

if you are prefixing a top level object, make sure you place your prefixed routes above the top level pattern to avoid Laravel from skipping those routes and returning 404 errors (bit of a gotcha)

Route::bind('objects', function($value, $route) {
  return App\Object::whereSlug($value)->firstOrFail();
});
Route::resource('prefixes.objects', 'ObjectController',['except' => ['index'],['create']]);

Custom stub

Create a new folder inside Stubs > views with your UI name as the folder name

Custom fields in Stubs > views > **ui-name** > fields

Custom pages in Stubs > views > **ui-name** > pages
