README

This package works with Laravel 5.5. It is very much inspired by the great Freek van der Herten with their Blender Package, where he has a Macro for a module. This really resonates with the CRUD/Restful approach on routing.

Installation

Require the package from Composer:

composer require thejawker/laravel-route-module-macro

As of Laravel 5.5 it will magically register the package.

Usage

You can add Route::module('name', ['only'](optional), ['options](optional)) in any of your routes files. The second parameter will allow you to only use specific actions, and the third being general options. Refer to the Laravel docs for those.

Examples:

Full Resource

routes/api.php

Route::module('posts');

$ php artisan route:list

+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Only Resource

routes/api.php

Route::module('posts', ['store']);

$ php artisan route:list
+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Method    | URI                                     | Name          | Action                                                                     |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| POST      | api/posts                               | posts.store   | App\Http\Controllers\PostsController@store                                 |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Nested Resources

This will enforce you to write Controllers that make sense. A nested users.posts will require you to create a UserPostsController with the required actions. routes/api.php

Route::module('users.posts');

$ php artisan route:list
+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Method    | URI                                     | Name                | Action                                                                     |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| POST      | api/users/{user}/posts                  | users.posts.store   | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@store                             |
| GET|HEAD  | api/users/{user}/posts                  | users.posts.index   | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@index                             |
| GET|HEAD  | api/users/{user}/posts/create           | users.posts.create  | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@create                            |
| DELETE    | api/users/{user}/posts/{post}           | users.posts.destroy | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@destroy                           |
| PUT|PATCH | api/users/{user}/posts/{post}           | users.posts.update  | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@update                            |
| GET|HEAD  | api/users/{user}/posts/{post}           | users.posts.show    | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@show                              |
| GET|HEAD  | api/users/{user}/posts/{post}/edit      | users.posts.edit    | App\Http\Controllers\UserPostsController@edit                              |
