Laravel Make Module

This package provides a php artisan make:module console command.

About

This comprises an opinionated way to organize the classes and folders in a modular fashion, instead of the conventional folder layout Laravel offers out-of-the-box.

Compatibility

• Works with Laravel versions 5.x and 6.x

Installation

• composer require --dev flaack/laravel-make-module

Usage

• php artisan make:module Foo

The resulting Foo-related classes will be scaffolded like this:

app
└── Modules
    └── Api
        └── Foo
            ├── Model
            │   └── Foo.php
            ├── Resource
            │   ├── Foo.php
            │   └── Foos.php
            └── FooController.php

Along with a new database migration:

database
└── migrations
    └── 2019_11_25_224100_create_foos_table.php

Under the hood

This command invokes make:model with --migration=true, make:resource (for both item and collection resource classes), and make:controller with --api=true, and for each of these invocations, overrides laravel's default folder layout for the resulting classes.

The scaffolded results are placed in app/Modules/Api, in a directory by the name given for the module.

Todo's / Nice-to-haves

• Configuration options?
• A flag to not override defaults, sometimes
• A model stub with a protected $appends = [];
  • ... because I always use it for api's
• A controller stub having some boilerplate for:
  • use App\Modules\Api\Foo\* directives
  • index method, returning Foo::paginate() as a new JsonCollection
  • show method, returning new JsonResource($foo)
