Introduction

Welcome to the Laravel CRUD Generator 🖥️🔥! This package provides a convenient way to quickly generate CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality for your Laravel projects.

Installation

To integrate the Laravel CRUD Generator into your Laravel project, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal and navigate to your project's root directory.
2. Run the following command to install the package via Composer:

composer require mehadi/laravel-crud-generator

Features

The Laravel CRUD Generator offers the following features:

• Automatically creates the Model, Migration, Controller, and View files for your CRUD operations.
• Adds a menu item to the navigation for easy access to the generated CRUD pages.
• Sets up the necessary routes in the web.php file.
• On deletion, it removes all the files generated by the CRUD operations.
• Input fields [text, textarea, email, number, file]
• File uploading
• Deleting old file when updating any model post
• Simple Form validation

Usage

Once you've installed the package and set up the prerequisites, you can use the Laravel CRUD Generator to quickly create CRUD operations for your models. Here's how:

1. Open your terminal in the root directory of your Laravel project.
2. Use the following command to generate CRUD files for a specific model (e.g., Post) along with its columns:

php artisan crud:make Post --data='title:string:input,description:text:textarea,image:text:file'

• The first parameter (Post in this example) is the name of the model.

• The second parameter (--data) specifies the table columns for the model, where each column is defined as column_name:data_type.

• Certainly, let's break down secound parameter (--data='title:string:input,description:text:textarea,image:text:file'):

• image: This is the name of the column in the database table. It represents a field in the table where you'll store information related to images.

• text: This is the data type assigned to the column in the database. In this case, it's set to "text," which indicates that the column can store a longer text-based content.

• file: This refers to the input type that you would use in the user interface (UI) for uploading files. In the context of HTML forms, this would be an <input> element with type="file". This allows users to select and upload files, such as images, from their devices.

1. After creating a new Model, be sure to execute the following command:

php artisan migrate

Running this command is important to ensure that any database changes related to the new Model are properly applied. This helps keep your database schema synchronized with your application's data structure. 4. To delete all the generated CRUD files and clean up, use the following command:

php artisan crud:delete Post

1. To make these uploaded files accessible from the web, you need to create a symbolic link from the public/storage directory to the storage/app/public directory. This can be done using the following Artisan command:

php artisan storage:link

After running this command, Laravel will create a symbolic link that allows files in the storage/app/public directory to be accessed through the URL http://your-app-url/storage.
