Laravel Code Generator is a PHP Laravel Package that uses Blade template engine to generate code for you.
The difference between other code generators is that this one will generate the code exactly as you want it to be, same design, same lines of code.
Use composer to install Laravel Code Generator.
composer require --dev victoryoalli/laravel-code-generatorphp artisan code:generate 'App\Models\User' -t 'schema' //prints to command line
php artisan code:generate 'App\Models\User' -t 'schema' -o 'user-schema.json'Example Output

"complete_name": "App\\Models\\User",

}php artisan code:generator 'App\User' -FATemplates are located at resources/vendor/laravel-code-generator.
For example once you publish the views the file schema.blade.json will be located at the relative path is resources/vendor/laravel-code-generator\schema.blade.json .
The path resources/views/vendor/laravel-code-generator is where you can create your own new templates, or customize the existing ones.
You can publish :
## views at: resources/views/vendor/laravel-code-generator
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="VictorYoalli\LaravelCodeGenerator\LaravelCodeGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag="views"or the config file
## config file: config/laravel-code-generator.php
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="VictorYoalli\LaravelCodeGenerator\LaravelCodeGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag="config"This is the contents of the published config file
config/laravel-code-generator.php:
By default you can use as templates files with following extensions, if you need to generate or use different files as templates you can add to the config file.
