laravel-modelgenerator

Easily scaffold an API model.

This is highly specific to my own use-cases and projects.

Commands

php artisan generate:template {model}

• Generates a template to App\Http\Templates that is customized and then called in the next command

php artisan generate:model {model}

• Looks for the template file corresponding to the Model name from the first command

Usage and Example

php artisan generate:template Comment

Configure the file based on configuration specs

 /**
  * The fields associated with the model
  *
  * @var array
  */
  public $fields = [
      'field_string' => [         // The name of the field
          'type' => 'string',     // In Migration and Request
          'default' => null,      // In Migration
          'required' => false,    // In Request
          'nullable' => true,     // In Migration and Request
          'extra_rules' => '',    // Validation rules other than 'nullable|required|type'
          'filterable' => true,   // Filterable via QueryBuilder, one of true|false|'exact'
      ],
  ];

  /**
   * Model that this model belongs to
   * Options below pertain only to the parent model
   * Used to create a relationship in the parent model and current model
   *
   * @var array
   */
  public $related = [
      'name' => 'Post
      'type' => 'hasMany' 
  ];

  /**
   * Log activity of this model using spatie/laravel-activitylog
   *
   * @var boolean
   */
  public $logActivity = true;

  /**
   * Add media to this model using spatie/laravel-medialibrary
   *
   * @var boolean
   */
  public $addMedia = false;
