Laravel Layers Generator

Laravel Layers Generator is a custom Artisan command that simplifies the creation of modular structures in Laravel projects, with some prebuilt methods. This command allows you to automatically generate essential files for an entity, including:

• Model
• Controller
• Repository
• DTOs (Create and Edit)
• Requests (Store and Update)
• Resource

Features

• Automated Code Generation: Quickly set up layers for your entities with a single command.
• Stub-Based Customization: Define your own code templates for each layer.
• Collision-Free: Skips generating files if they already exist, ensuring you don't accidentally overwrite important files.
• Clean and Modular Structure: Designed to align with clean architecture principles.

Installation

1. Clone or Download the Package
   Clone this repository or download the files, then place the GenerateEntity command in your Laravel application's app/Console/Commands directory.

2. Register the Command
   Open the app/Console/Kernel.php file and add the command to the $commands array:

   protected $commands = [
       \App\Console\Commands\GenerateEntity::class,
   ];

Usage

Run the Artisan command, specifying the name of the entity you want to generate:

php artisan generate:layers EntityName

For example, to generate files for a User entity:

php artisan generate:layers User

What Happens

This command will generate:

• app/Models/User.php
• app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
• app/Repositories/UserRepository.php
• app/DTOs/User/UserCreateDTO.php
• app/DTOs/User/UserEditDTO.php
• app/Http/Requests/User/StoreUserRequest.php
• app/Http/Requests/User/UpdateUserRequest.php
• app/Http/Resources/UserResource.php

If any file already exists, it will not be overwritten.

Customizing Stubs

You can customize the generated code by editing the .stub files in the stubs directory. These files act as templates, and placeholders like {{name}} will be replaced with the entity name when the files are generated.

Example of a model.stub file:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class {{class}} extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    use SoftDeletes;

    protected $table = '{{class}}';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';

    protected $fillable = [
        'data',
    ];
}
