LaraMake

About LaraMake

LaraMake is a package that overrides the built-in artisan make commands to add command options that we believe should have been included out-of-the-box, but weren't.

Laravel doesn't want to bloat their commands with too many flags, so we'll do it for them!

Installation

Require the package with Composer:

composer require thefletcher/laramake

Add the Service Provider to config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Laravel Framework Service Providers...
    // ...
    
    // Package Service Providers
    TheFletcher\LaraMake\LaraMakeServiceProvider::class,
    // ...
    
    // Application Service Providers
    // ...
],

Verify that Artisan is using the new commands:

php artisan make:model --help

You should see new options available, including --table

Documentation

Below are the commands that have been overridden and what options were added.

make:model

This command creates a Model class.

New options include:

Long	Short	Purpose	Example
--namespace={namespace}		Set the namespace to put the model in.	--namespace=App\Models
--table={table}	-t={table}	Set the table name for the model to use.	--table=products
--no-timestamps		Set $timestamps=false to tell the model not to expect created_at or updated_at fields.	--no-timestamps
--primarykey={key}	-k={key}	Set a custom primary key for the model.	--primarykey=id
--no-incrementing		Set $incrementing = false to tell the model that it's primary key is not auto-incrementing.	--no-incrementing
--connection={conn}		Set the $connection the model should use.	--connection=mongodb

make:provider

This command creates a ServiceProvider class.

New options include:

Long	Short	Purpose	Example
--defer	-d	Set $defer to defer loading of the Provider.	--defer

Contributing

If there are any options you wish Laravel had and would like added here, please create an issue through Github.

If you wish to work on adding new options, I welcome Pull Requests, but only after discussion in an issue first.
