README

To get started, require the package:

composer require elmogy/larafast

Install the package

After including larafast, you have to install it by running the following command:

php artisan larafast:install

After installing the package you will find a directory called unit_template inside core/Base, that's the directory that has the default views that will be included in every unit you generate (after running this command php artisan larafast:unit UnitName --module=ModuleName keep reading to learn more about this command).

Please take a look at the blade files inside core/Base/views and core/Base/unit_template you will notice that $global variable is shared across all the views.

Module

To create a new module, run the following:

php artisan larafast:module ModuleName

Here is an example:

php artisan larafast:module Todo

Unit

To create a new unit, there are 2 commands we have to run:

Initialization

php artisan larafast:unit UnitName --module=ModuleName --init

To initialize the unit with basic stuff (model, API controller and Web Controller) and after running the command you can configure the unit, here is an example:

php artisan larafast:unit Task --module=Todo --init

then navigate to core/Todo/data/Task.json and update it like in the following:

{
  "attributes": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "description": {
      "type": "text",
      "definition": "nullable"
    },
    "priority": {
      "type": "enum:low,medium,high",
      "definition": "nullable|default:medium"
    },
    "is_done": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "definition": "default:false"
    }
  },
  "relations": {
      
  }
}

Please note the following:

attributes: contains the unit attributes (you can think of attributes as the columns of the table in the database).

type: the type of the attribute, please check all available types here

definition: it holds the column modifiers & indexes in the database, please check all available modifiers & indexes from here and here

You may have noticed that the values in type and definition are designed the same way as we do in the validation rules.

Publishing

php artisan larafast:unit UnitName --module=ModuleName

To create all the related stuff (migration, request, resource, factory, unit test ...etc) based on the previous command:

php artisan larafast:unit Task --module=Todo

Notes

• when overriding a unit (for example Task unit) by running the command in Publishing section again, all related migration files will be deleted for this unit (for example create table migration file and adding new column/s migration file).
