README

This package allows you to use the laravel make commands outside of a laravel application, this can be very useful for package development.

Installing Globally

To install the package globally run composer global require michaeljennings/laravel-make.

When composer has finished installing you should be able to laravel-make in your command line and it should list all of the available commands.

If you are on windows and it says laravel-make is not a function then make sure your global composer .bin directory is in the $PATH environment variable.

Installing Per Project

To install on a per project basis run composer require michaeljennings/laravel-make.

Or add the package to you composer.json file.

{
  ...
  "require-dev": {
    "michaeljennings/laravel-make": "~1.0",
  },
  ...
}

Then run composer update to install the package.

Once installed run vendor/bin/laravel-make and you should see a list of all of the available commands.

Configuration

By default the laravel commands try to place the new files within the app directory and in the App namespace, however this is very rarely how a package is setup.

To get around this you can create a .laravel-make file in the root of your package and define your package specific configuration in it. This file works like a .env file, a sample file is below, and then there is a description of each configuration option underneath.

BASE_PATH=/src
BASE_NAMESPACE=Example\Package
USER_MODEL=Example\Package\Models\User

Base Path

The base path that will be prepended to all files, excluding migrations and seeders.

Defaults to /app

BASE_PATH=/src

Base Namespace

This is the root namespace that will be prepended to each class.

Defaults to 'App'

BASE_NAMESPACE=Example\Package

User Model

This option is a little strange. Some of the stubs need to the path to the user model for the application, by default laravel tries to find this from the auth config file. As we don't have the auth config file available to us we have to specify it in the .laravel-make file.

Defaults to 'App\User'

USER_MODEL=Example\Auth\Models\User
