README

The essence of the package is to design a database and initial data in a visual syntax for further processing it and forming layers for working with laravel.

More details

A package for creating laravel layers according to a single syntax that is based in a simple array representing a set of rules and conditions that are necessary to build the initial data of the project architecture. We are talking about things like: Models, Model Constants, Model Relations, Model Properties, Model Behaviors (Traits), Casts, Migrations, Observers, Requests, Resources, Rules, Factories, Seeders

Installation

You can install the library using composer:

composer require bfg/scaffold

Beginning of work

If the file /database/scaffolds.json does not exist, then after the first run of the command php artisan scaffold this file will be created automatically! Then you need to fill it with data for generation and re-run the command php artisan scaffold.

JSON syntax

First, you need to understand how to design an array of scaffolding for your project.

It is important that you definitely need to understand the whole project in order to make the most correct design of your project and database in one place.

Let's consider a simple design method, this is a JSON file.

This approach is simplified for easy integration and fast implementation.

Simple example of preschool database structure:

{
  "required": ["user/location"],
  "commentary": {
    "prop:translatable": ["name"],
    "const:title": "Comments",
    "type": "morphMany:commentable",
    "fields": [
      ["name", ["nullable"]],
      ["src", ["nullable"]],
      "active"
    ],
    "rules": {
      "name": "required|string|min:10|max:191",
      "src": "nullable|string|Uppercase"
    },
    "factory": {
      "name": "faker.unique().name()",
      "src": "faker.imageUrl(640, 480, 'animals', true)"
    },
    "seed": "factory:30,50"
  },
  "rules": {
    "const:title": "Rules",
    "fields": ["title", "text", "active"],

      },
      {

        "text": "Warning text 2"
      }
    ]
  },

    "const:title": "Directors",

      }
    },

    }
  },

        "fields": ["name", ["slogan", ["nullable"]], "active"],
        "relations": {
          "commentary": {},
          "educator:belongsToMany": {
            "const:title": "Educators",
            "fields": ["name", "last_name", "active"],
            "relations": {
              "commentary": {}
            }
          }
        }
      },
      "service:belongsToMany": {
        "const:title": "Services",
        "fields": ["name", "amount", "description", "active"],
        "relations": {

        "fields": ["name", "active", "is_new", "mark_at"]
      }
    }
  }
}

For publish this demo:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=scaffold-demo

Now in detail about the array

{
  "{Singular model name}": { //All fields except names are optional
    "const:{Constant name}": "Constant value", //optional
    "created": false, // Cancel created at support
    "updated": false, // Cancel updated at support

    "prop:translatable": ["title"], //For make custom model property
    "namespace": "App\\Models", //by default
    "foreign": "id", //by default
    "observer": [], //observer for model, if the array of values is empty, add all possible events. or list what events are needed in an array.
    "timestamps": true, //by default
    "traits": ["Getter", "Setter", "Scope", "Wets"], //Injected traits. optional
    "type": "{Type name}:{Type parameters}", //The parent type when adding this model as a link. by default hasOne.
    "fields": [ //optional
      ["{Field name}", "Field param",{"Field methods": "Field properties"}],
      ["src", ["nullable"]],
      ["bet", "float", 8, 2, {"default": "0.01", "cast": "string"}],
      ["href", {"cast": "Href"}], //If Cast is specified with a capital letter, scaffolding will consider it necessary to create a custom class for casting.
      "amount" //by default this field is: ['float', 8, 2]
    ],
    "relations": {
      //The name of the relationship can also be plural, in which case it will find or create a model.
      "{Relation name}{:Relation type name (optional)}": {
        //...new model data, or empty object if model exists
      },
      "tags:belongsToMany": {

        "field": "reward_id" // The relation field name

      }
    },
    "rules": { // For create model request
      "name": "required|string|min:10|max:191", // Rules of model request

    },

    "resource": ["AdminRules"], //To create multiple resources
    "factory": { // For generate of Fabrica
      "name": "\\faker.unique().name()",

    },
    "seed": "factory:30,50", // For add factory to seed you must add this string, for generating 30 to 50 records
    "seed": "factory:30", // To generate 30 records
    "seed": "factory", // To generate 1 record
  }
}

Configs

For publish config:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=scaffold

All properties are documented in a file that were published in the /config/scaffold.php file.

Clear the generated data from the application.

In order to clear constantly regenerated data from your application, run the command php artisan scaffold:clear.

In order to delete all the files that created the scaffolding altogether, add the -a or --all flag to the command php artisan scaffold:clear -a.

Blanc adding

Adding named blanc:

\Bfg\Scaffold\ScaffoldConstruct::namedBlanc("user/location", [
    "location" => [
        "fields" => [
            'lat', 'lon'
        ]
    ],
    "user" => [
        "relations" => [
            "location" => []
        ]
    ]
]);

Adding blanc in to stream:

\Bfg\Scaffold\ScaffoldConstruct::blanc([
    "location" => [
        "fields" => [
            'lat', 'lon'
        ]
    ],
    "user" => [
        "relations" => [
            "location" => []
        ]
    ]
]);

Command adding

Adding command:

// Example of default command
\Bfg\Scaffold\ScaffoldConstruct::command(
    'required', 
    [\Bfg\Scaffold\ScaffoldCommands::class, 'required']
);
