Laravel | API CRUD Generator

This Generator package provides generators of Models, Controllers, Request, Routes & Tests for a painless development.

INSTALL

Install the package through Composer.

Run the Composer require command from the Terminal:

composer require andreacivita/api-crud-generator --dev

SETUP

Run this command from the Terminal

php artisan vendor:publish

Select andreacivita/api-crud-generator and setup it's complete.

USAGE

Managing all database

Usage of this package is very simple.

First, let's supposing I want to generate CRUD for all table in my db.

So, we run

php artisan make:crud --all

No further options required. Your setup is complete!

Interactive mode

You can manage a single table with interactive mode or manually (see next paragraph).

Just run

php artisan make:crud --interactive

Crud generator will ask you several data (Name of resource, Table name and use of timestamps).

Managing a single db table

Now i suppose generation of CRUD operations of Car db table.

Run this command:

php artisan make:crud Car

Done! You will have Car model (located in App/Model directory), CarController, CarRequest (used for input data) and Routes (located in routes/api.php).

OPTIONS

TABLE NAME

By default, DB Table's name is plural, while Model class name is singular (e.g. Table => Cars, Model => Car). You can change this behavior specifying the name in terminal

php artisan make:crud Car --table Car

This will create the same resources, but table name in model will be 'Car' (instead of default 'Cars')

TIMESTAMPS

By default, this packages will set all timestamps to false. You can change this doing this command:

php artisan make:crud Car --timestamps true

This will set 'timestamps=true' in Model class.

LARAVEL/PASSPORT INTEGRATION

By default, Routes will be not protected by passport. However, you can generate Passport-protected routes with:

php artisan make:crud Car --passport

This will set 'timestamps=true' in Model class.

ROUTING

Routes will follow Route::resource() Schema (default routing schema provided by Laravel).

Example: i'm generating Car crud

Route	Method	Operation
car	GET	Get all cars
car/{id}	GET	Find car by id
car	POST	Insert a new car
car/{id}	PUT / PATCH	Update car by id
car/{id}	DELETE	Delete car by id

Remember that all api routes have 'api/' prefix.

TESTING

When created CRUD structure (Controllers, Models, Request, Resource, Factory & Routes), this package generate Feature test file.

SETUP GENERATED CRUD

FACTORIES

Tests now require factory class to manipulate data. You should provide data schema into your factory class (using Faker), so you'll be able to test easily your API

VALIDATORS

Write better code will helps you so much! So, default behavior of Controllers is to force you to use validated data. You have to set all validation rules into your FormRequest class.

E.g. For Car Crud, you will set rules into your App\Request\CarRequest.php
