About this package

With this package installed on local environment, we can use (e.g.) php artisan make:crud Item command to generate some files :

• App\Item.php eloquent model
• ItemsController.php in app/Http/Controllers directory
• create_items_table.php migration file
• index.blade.php view file in resources/views/items directory
• forms.blade.php view file in resources/views/items directory
• ManageItemsTest.php feature test class in tests/Feature directory
• ItemTest.php unit test class in tests/Unit/Models directory

The model will only have 2 pre-definded attributes or columns : name and description on each model and database table.

Attention

• This package still in development
• Use this package on new Laravel project for simulation.
• It will creates the Model class file, don't use it to generate files for existing Model class.
• You need a resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php view file, simply create one with php artisan make:auth command.

How to install

This package has not been submitted to packagist, so we can use github repo as additional repository. To have the additional repository, we do some configiration on composer.json file, add this :

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/nafiesl/SimpleCrudGenerator.git"
        }
    ],

then

# Bootstrap Form Field generator
$ composer require luthfi/formfield

# Get the package
$ composer require luthfi/simple-crud-generator dev-master --dev

How to use

The package will auto-discovered in Laravel 5.5. Just type in terminal:

$ php artisan

We will find the make:crud command, it will Create simple Laravel CRUD files of given model name.

$ php artisan make:crud Item

Create mysql database, set your database credential on .env file. Then :

$ php artisan migrate

Visit your application in new resource route : http://127.0.0.1:8000/items

The CRUD function should work.

Next, to use the generated testing classes, we can set the database environment using in-memory database SQLite. Open phpunit.xml. Add two lines below on the env :

<phpunit>
    <!-- ..... -->
    <php>
        <!-- ..... -->
        <env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
        <env name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
    </php>
</phpunit>

Try out the generated testing classes via terminal.

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

All tests should be passed.
