Magento 2 Code Generator
Created by Lingaro
Inspired by https://github.com/staempfli/magento2-code-generator
Purpose
In day-to-day Magento 2 development there are some common tasks which require development of repeatable code that is hard to simply copy-paste. The purpose of this app is to automatize creation of such code, so the developers may focus on business logic and thanks to that being much more efficient and happy.
There are other tools on the market that allows to generate Magento boilerplate code, but we went a step further. The unique value of our tool is that it can be used with already existing codebase. The code generated by the tool is automatically merged with current code (eg. configuration XML files, requirejs-config JS files, etc.). Also, our aim was to generate high-quality code that uses modern PHP features and Magento coding standards.

Installation
Recommended way to install this app is to add it as Magento's Composer dev dependency:
composer require --dev lingaro/magento2-codegen
If you don't want to attach this app to your Magento, you can also simply clone the repository and use it as a standalone library.
Don't forget to run composer install to install all required dependencies.
Configuration
Create your custom config file (not needed for Lingaro developers) either in package config directory or in your Magento root directory:
cp vendor/lingaro/magento2-codegen/config/codegen.yml.dist vendor/lingaro/magento2-codegen/config/codegen.yml
or
cp vendor/lingaro/magento2-codegen/config/codegen.yml.dist codegen.yml
and edit default values.
You may add your own template directory by including the following in your codegen.yml:
templateDirectories:
- { path: "path/to/templates" }
Template folder path must be relative to package directory, ex. if you want to add private templates to your Magento dev folder, you should use ../../../dev/codegen_templates path.
You may include multiple template directories.
To overwrite a core template just copy a core template to your template directory and make changes as necessary.
Usage
- List all templates:
bin/codegen template:list
- Show template info:
bin/codegen template:info <template>
- Generate template:
bin/codegen template:generate <template>
For templates which type is module (most of them) this command must be executed on the module root folder where the registration.php file is.
For templates which type is root this command must be executed on the Magento root folder.
Example:
cd /path/to/magento/app/code/Lingaro/TestModule
../../../../vendor/bin/codegen template:generate block
3.1. Options
| Long name | Short name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| --root-dir | -r | If specified, code is generated on this root directory. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created automatically. | bin/codegen -r"/var/www/magento/app/code/Lingaro/TestModule" template:generate block |
| --force-merge | -m | Use "all" to automatically run all code mergers. Use "experimental" to automatically run non-experimental code mergers. | bin/codegen template:generate -mall block |
| --force-override | -o | If specified, all unmerged files will be automatically overridden. | bin/codegen template:generate -o block |
| --yaml-path | -y | If specified, property values will be collected from YAML file instead of console prompts. | bin/codegen -y"lib/internal/codegen/templates/block/.no-copied-config/example.yml" template:generate block |
