README

A Laravel package to quickly generate API scaffolding — model, migration, controller, and routes — with customizable fields and validation, saving you repetitive work.

Features

Generate Eloquent Model with fillable properties
Generate Migration with nullable or required fields
Generate RESTful API Controller with full CRUD methods
Auto-append API resource routes with proper controller imports
Validation rules auto-generated based on field types and requirements
Simple artisan command interface

Installation

Require the package via Composer:

composer require saleh/smart-api-generator

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Usage

Run the artisan command and follow the prompts:

php artisan make:smart-api {ModelName}

Example:

php artisan make:smart-api Post

When prompted to enter fields, use the format:

title:string:req, body:text, published_at:datetime

Append :req to mark a field as required (validation and migration NOT nullable)
Omit :req to make the field nullable

What it Generates

Model with $fillable properties
Migration with specified fields (nullable or required)
Controller with API resource methods: index, show, store, update, destroy
Routes added automatically in routes/api.php with proper controller import

Example Generated Controller Store Validation

$request->validate([
    'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
    'body' => 'nullable|string',
    'published_at' => 'nullable|date',
]);
