Installation

1. Run the following composer command:

composer require mrdebug/crudgen --dev

2. If you don't use Laravel Collective Form package in your project, install it:

composer require laravelcollective/html

_{(Note: This step is not required if you don't need views.)}

3. Publish the configuration file, stubs and the default-theme directory for views:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mrdebug\Crudgen\CrudgenServiceProvider"

Usage

Create CRUD (or REST API)

Let's illustrate with a real life example : Building a blog

A Post has many (hasMany) Comment and belongs to many (belongsToMany) Tag

A Post can have a title and a content fields

Let's do this 🙂

_{If you need a REST API instead of CRUD, read this wiki}

CRUD generator command :

php artisan make:crud nameOfYourCrud "column1:type, column2" (theory)

php artisan make:crud post "title:string, content:text" (for our example)

_{Available options}

_{Generate CRUD with livewire datatable}

When you call this command, the controller, views and request are generated with your fields (in this case, title and content).

Now let's add our relationships (Comment and Tag models) :

We add a hasMany relationship between our Post and Comment and a belongsToMany with Tag

Two migrations are created (create_posts AND create_post_tag).

create_posts is your table for your Post model

create_post_tag is a pivot table to handle the belongsToMany relationship

Post model is generated too with both relationships added

Migration

Both migration files are created in your database/migrations directory. If necessary edit them and run :

php artisan migrate

Controller

A controller file is created in your app/Http/Controllers directory. All methods (index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroy) are filled with your fields.

Routes

To create your routes for this new controller, you can do this :

Route::resource('posts', PostsController::class); _{^{(don't forget to import your PostsController in your web.php file)}}

Screenshots

/posts/create :

/posts :

You can edit and delete your new post. And a show page is created too 🙂

Request

A request file is created in your app/Http/Requests directory. By default, all fields are required, you can edit it according to your needs.

Views

A views directory is created in your resources/views directory. _{If you want to customize generated views : https://github.com/misterdebug/crud-generator-laravel/wiki/Custom-your-views}

You can create views independently of the CRUD generator with : php artisan make:views nameOfYourDirectoryViews "column1:type, column2"

Finish your blog

Add your Comment CRUD (with a column comment and a post_id)

php artisan make:crud comment "comment:text, post_id:integer"

Add your Tag CRUD (with a column name)

php artisan make:crud tag "name"

FYI : Comment is a specific case and you can use make:commentable command Docs about commentable

Finished 🎉

Remove a CRUD

You can delete all files (except migrations) created by the make:crud command at any time. No need to remove files manually :

php artisan rm:crud nameOfYourCrud --force

php artisan rm:crud post --force (in our example)

The --force flag (optional) deletes all files without confirmation
