README

SyncModelFillable is a Laravel package designed to help automatically add or update a model's $fillable fields with its database migration columns. 🎉 With just a simple Artisan command.

✨ Features

• 🛠️ Syncs model $fillable properties with migration columns.
• 📦 Supports Laravel versions 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
• ⚙️ Customizable to exclude specific columns, like timestamps.
• 🔄 New:
  • The all flag now recursively scans all subdirectories inside app/Models/.
  • The --path= option allows selecting a custom directory for scanning models.
  • The --ignore flag lets you exclude specific models during sync.
  • 🧹 Cross-platform Pint support: Automatically formats the model file after updating the $fillable fields, ensuring proper code formatting on all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).

🚀 Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

   composer require muzammal/syncmodelfillable

2. (Optional) Publish the configuration file:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=syncmodelfillable-config

   This will create a config/syncfillable.php file where you can specify columns to exclude (such as created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, etc.).

📘 Usage

This package provides an Artisan command sync:fillable to sync a model's $fillable fields with its database migration columns.

🔹 Sync a Specific Model

To sync the $fillable fields of a specific model inside app/Models/, including nested folders run this:

php artisan sync:fillable Post

🔹 Sync All Models (Including Nested Folders)

To sync all models inside app/Models/, including nested folders:

php artisan sync:fillable all

This will:

• Scan all subdirectories inside app/Models/ (e.g., app/Models/Fintech/AnotherFolder/AnotherFolder).
• Match each model with its migration file.
• generate the $fillable properties accordingly.

🔹 New: Custom Path for Models

You can specify a custom path instead of using app/Models/ by using the --path= option.

php artisan sync:fillable --path=app/CustomModels

This will:

• Scan app/CustomModels/ instead of app/Models/.
• Sync all models found in that directory.

🔹 New: Exclude Models with the --ignore Flag

To exclude specific models from the sync operation:

php artisan sync:fillable all --ignore=User

You can also pass multiple models:

php artisan sync:fillable all --ignore=User,Product,Order

If syncing a single model, the --ignore flag is not applicable:

php artisan sync:fillable Product

⚙️ Configuration

The configuration file syncfillable.php allows you to exclude certain columns from $fillable. By default, common timestamp columns (created_at, updated_at, deleted_at) are excluded.

Example configuration:

return [
    'excluded_columns' => ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at'],
];

🧹 Cross-Platform Support for Pint

After updating the $fillable fields, the model file will be automatically formatted using Pint. This ensures that your code is properly formatted on all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• On Windows, Pint is run via vendor\\bin\\pint.bat.
• On macOS/Linux, Pint is executed with ./vendor/bin/pint.

This ensures your code maintains consistency and adheres to best practices without requiring manual formatting. ✨

🔍 Example

If your Post model has a migration defining name, slug, and content columns, running:

php artisan sync:fillable Post

Would automatically generate $fillable in Post.php

protected $fillable = ['name', 'slug', 'content'];

Additionally, after updating the $fillable fields, the Post.php file will be formatted to ensure clean code.
