Examples

The following example assumes that we are trying to create a CRUD called <var>AssetCategory</var> with the fields listed below.

id
name
description
is_active

Basic example - CRUD with migration

<blockquote> <code>php artisan resource-file:create AssetCategory --fields=id,name,description,is_active</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --with-migration</code> The above command will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views, the routes, and migration class!</var> </blockquote>

Basic example - CRUD with migration - Shortcut

<blockquote> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --with-migration --fields=id,name,description,is_active</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> first. Then, it will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views, the routes, and migration class!</var>. This is a short way to issuing both `resource-file:create` and `create:scaffold` in one line </blockquote>

Basic API example - CRUD with migration

Basic example using translations for English and Arabic - with migration

<blockquote> <code>php artisan resource-file:create AssetCategory --fields=id,name,description,is_active --translation-for=en,ar</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --with-migration</code> The above command will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views, the routes, and migration class!</var> </blockquote>

Basic example with form-request

<blockquote> <code>php artisan resource-file:create AssetCategory --fields=id,name,description,is_active</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --with-form-request</code> The above command will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views, the routes, and <var>app/Http/Requests/AssetCategoriesFormRequest</var> class!</var> </blockquote>

Basic example with soft-delete and migration

<blockquote> <code>php artisan resource-file:create AssetCategory --fields=id,name,description,is_active</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --with-soft-delete --with-migration</code> The above command will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views, the routes, and migration file!</var> </blockquote>

Creating resources from existing database

<blockquote> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --table-exists</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var>. It is going to assume that the table name is called "asset_categories" in your database. If that is not the case, you can use <var>--table-name=some_other_table_name</var> Then it will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views and the routes!</var> You may also create a resource-file from existing database separately using <code>php artisan resource-file:from-database AssetCategory</code> </blockquote>

Creating resources from existing database with translation for English and Arabic

<blockquote> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory --translation-for=en,ar --table-exists</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> Then it will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views and the routes!</var> You may also create a resource-file from existing database separately using <code>php artisan resource-file:from-database AssetCategory --translation-for=en,ar</code> </blockquote>

Creating resources from existing database with translation for English and Arabic in two step for better control over the fields!

<blockquote> <code>php artisan resource-file:from-database AssetCategory --translation-for=en,ar</code> <code>php artisan create:scaffold AssetCategory</code> The above command will create resource-file names <var>/resources/laravel-code-generator/sources/asset_categories.json</var> Then it will create a model <var>app/Models/AssetCategory</var>, a controller <var>app/Http/Controllers/AssetCategoriesController, all views and the routes!</var> </blockquote>
