Crud Generator Laravel is a package that you can integrate into your Laravel to create a REAL CRUD :

• controller with all the code already written
• views (index, create, edit, show)
• model with relationships
• request file with rules
• migration file

Installation

1. Run 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

3. Publish config file and default-theme directory for views

php artisan vendor:publish

Usage

Create Crud

Let’s make a real-life example: Build a blog

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

A Post can have a title and a content fields

CRUD generator command:

php artisan make:crud nameOfYourCrud "column1:type, column2"

(theory)

php artisan make:crud post "title:string, content:text"

(for our example).

When you call this command, controller, views, and requests are generated with your fields (here: title and content).

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

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

If you look good, two migrations are created (create_posts AND create_post_tag).

create_posts will be 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)

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.

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"

Remove a CRUD

You can delete all files (except migrations) created by the make:crud command at any time (you don’t need to remove all files by hand)

php artisan rm:crud nameOfYourCrud --force

(in our example)

php artisan rm:crud post --force

–force (optional) can delete all files without confirmation.
