Laravel Resourceful

Resourceful let's you create a full Resource withing seconds! Create a Resource with all the CRUD methods on every layer. Use the artisan command and let it create a Migration, Seed, Request, Controller, Model and Views for your Resource! You're now able to exclude certain parts with --exclude. See the example!

NOTE!

This is a first draft, feel free to create pull requests. Might have a lot of bugs so be careful with the usage! Will continue working on it, tests are yet to come.

Usage

Install through composer

`composer require remoblaser/resourceful --dev``

Add Service Provider

You probably don't want this on your production server, so instead of adding it to the config/app.ch we add it in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php. here's a example: Since we're using Jeffrey Way's / Laracats's Generators, we also need to register his ServiceProvider. Here's a example:

public function register()
{
    if ($this->app->environment() == 'local') {
        $this->app->register('Remoblaser\Resourceful\ResourcefulServiceProvider');
        $this->app->register('Laracasts\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider');
    }
}

Run it!

Now you can use the command. I've extracted everything in single commands so you're able to use the make:resource:controller command if you would like to create only the Controllers the resourceful way. The make:resource:views command is seperate too, so feel free to use this one aswell. With the route:extend command, you're able to extend your routes.php file with a resource controller. The new command route:bind binds a route to your model. With the -b option, you can do this automatically when generating a resource. If you want to see all the options, use make:resource -h.

Example

I would like to have a News Resource. I want to have all the CRUD functionality for it. So instead of creating all the Stuff by hand, i can use php artisan make:resource news to generate all the necessary stuff or just use single parts:

$> php artisan make:resource news
Model created successfully.
Created Migration: 2015_04_17_083658_create_news_table
Seed created successfully.
Request created successfully.
Controller created successfully.
Views created successfully.
Routes successfully extended.

With the --exclude option you're able to exclude the Controller, Migration, Seed, Model and/or Views. If you would like to generate everything except for the Views and the Seed, you can just use --exclude=views,seed.

You're able to submit a --commands option and choose which Actions/Commands you would like to have, commands need to be seperated with a ",". The following commands are available: create, store, show, index, edit, update, destroy

Generated Controller

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\News;
use App\Http\Requests\NewsRequest;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class NewsController extends Controller {

	/**
	 * Display a listing of the resource.
	 *
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function index()
	{
	    $news = News::all();
		return view('news.index', compact('news'));
	}

	/**
	 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
	 *
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function create()
	{
		return view('news.create');
	}

	/**
	 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
	 *
	 * @param  NewsRequest $request
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function store(NewsRequest $request)
	{
		News::create($request->all());

		return redirect('/news');
	}

	/**
	 * Display the specified resource.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $id
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function show($id)
	{
		$news = News::find($id);

		return view('news.show', compact('news'));
	}

	/**
	 * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $id
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function edit($id)
	{
		$news = News::find($id);

        return view('news.edit', compact('news'));
	}

	/**
	 * Update the specified resource in storage.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $id
	 * @param  NewsRequest $request
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function update(NewsRequest $request ,$id)
	{
        $news = News::find($id);
        $news->update($request->all());

        return redirect('/news');
	}

	/**
	 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
	 *
	 * @param  int  $id
	 * @return Response
	 */
	public function destroy($id)
	{
		$news = News::find($id);
		$news->destroy();

		return redirect('/news');
	}

}

Generated Views

Make sure to include Illuminate/HTML, since the Views are built with it.

create.blade.php

@extends('app')

@section('content')
    {!! Form::open(['route' => 'news.store'], 'method' => 'post']) !!}
        @include('news.partials.form', ['buttonText' => 'Create news'])
    {!! Form::close() !!}

    {{-- @include('errors.validation') --}}
@stop

edit.blade.php

@extends('app')

@section('content')
    {!! Form::open(['route' => ['news.update', $news->id]], 'method' => 'post']) !!}
        @include('news.partials.form', ['buttonText' => 'Update news'])
    {!! Form::close() !!}

    {{-- @include('errors.validation') --}}
@stop

index.blade.php

@extends('app')

@section('content')
    @foreach($newss as $news)
        {!! var_dump($news)) !!}
    @endforeach
@stop

show.blade.php

@extends('app')

@section('content')
    {!! var_dump($news) !!}
@stop
