README

A powerful Laravel package that generates complete CRUD entities with controllers, models, services, requests, resources, and migrations using the service design pattern.

• 🏗️ Service Pattern: Built-in service layer for business logic separation
• 📝 Auto-generated Files: Controllers, Models, Services, Requests, Resources, and Migrations
• ⚡ Laravel Best Practices: Follows Laravel conventions and design patterns
• 🔧 Customizable: Easy to customize stubs and configuration
• 💪 Production Ready: Includes proper error handling and transactions

Installation

Via Composer

composer require win-aung/laravel-entity-generator:dev-main

Usage

Basic Usage

Generate a complete entity with all CRUD operations:

php artisan make:entity User

This will create:

• app/Services/User/UserService.php - Service layer for business logic
• app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php - RESTful controller with CRUD methods
• app/Models/User.php - Eloquent model
• app/Http/Requests/UserRequest.php - Form request validation
• app/Http/Resources/UserResource.php - API resource for JSON responses
• database/migrations/*_users_table.php - Database migration

Force Overwrite

To overwrite existing files:

php artisan make:entity User --force

Interactive Mode

If files already exist, the command will ask for confirmation:

php artisan make:entity User
# Will prompt: "File already exists: app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php. Overwrite?"

Generated Files Structure

Controller (UserController.php)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests\UserRequest;
use App\Services\User\UserService;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    protected $userService;

    public function __construct(UserService $userService)
    {
        $this->userService = $userService;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        return $this->sendResponse($this->userService->getAll(), 200, 'User retrieved');
    }

    public function store(UserRequest $request)
    {
        $data = $this->userService->create($request->all());
        return $this->sendResponse($data, 201, 'User created');
    }

    // ... other CRUD methods
}

Service (UserService.php)

<?php

namespace App\Services\User;

use App\Models\User;

class UserService
{
    protected $model;

    public function __construct(User $user)
    {
        $this->model = $user;
    }

    public function getAll()
    {
        return $this->model->all();
    }

    public function create($data)
    {
        return $this->model->create($data);
    }

    // ... other methods
}

Configuration

Publish the configuration file to customize the package:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

This will create config/laravel-entity-generator.php with the following options:

return [
    'service_namespace' => 'App\\Services',
    'controller_namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Controllers',
    'model_namespace' => 'App\\Models',
    'request_namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Requests',
    'resource_namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Resources',
    'generate_repository' => false,
    'generate_tests' => false,
    'directory_permissions' => 0755,
];

Customization

Custom Stubs

You can customize the generated code by publishing and modifying the stub files:

1. Publish the stubs:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=stubs

1. Modify the stub files in resources/stubs/

2. Update the configuration to use your custom stubs:

'stub_paths' => [
    'controller' => resource_path('stubs/controller.crud.stub'),
    'service' => resource_path('stubs/service.stub'),
],

API Endpoints

The generated controller provides these RESTful endpoints:

• GET /users - List all users
• POST /users - Create a new user
• GET /users/{id} - Show a specific user
• PUT /users/{id} - Update a user
• DELETE /users/{id} - Delete a user

Response Format

All API responses follow a consistent format:

Success Response

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {...},
    "message": "User created"
}

Error Response

{
    "success": false,
    "message": "User not found"
}

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.0
• Laravel >= 9.0
