krismp / laravel-starter-1 Goto Github PK

Automatically generates the files you need to get up and running. Generates a default layout, sets up bootstrap or foundation, prompts for javascript files (options are ember, angular, backbone, underscore, and jquery), creates model, controller, and views, runs migration, updates routes, and seeds your new table with mock data - all in one command.

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require ourlearn/laravel-starter

"require-dev": {
	"ourlearn/laravel-starter": "dev-master"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'Ourlearn\LaravelStarter\LaravelStarterServiceProvider'

That's it! You're all set to go. Run the artisan command from the Terminal to see the new start command.

php artisan

###Load models and properties from a file!!

You can now load as many models as you want from one file! Just run the command php artisan start:file "path/to/file.txt" where file.txt is of the format:

resource = true
namespace = Ourlearn
University hasMany Department string( name city state homepage ) -nt
Department belongsTo University, hasMany Course string( name description ) number:integer
resource = false
Course belongsTo Department, hasMany Lesson string( name description ) integer( number credits )

Where resource is whether or not your controller is a resource controller. All controllers will follow what the previous resource was set, so you can mix and match.

If namespace is set, then it is applied globally, else you can namespace specific models by prefacing the name with the namespace.

-nt is an option that sets timestamps to false on the particular model.

###Configurations

This now comes with a configuration file. Configure all file directories, class names, view files, whether or not you want repository pattern, which css/js files to download, and you can completely customize view and layout files from within the templates folder! Be sure to run:

php artisan config:publish ourlearn/laravel-starter

To include the config file within your config folder!

Run php artisan start and the guided setup will help you with the rest!

Reading is boring... check out this overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ESSjdUSNMw

Within the command, there is a prompt to ask if you want to add tables, the syntax is simple!

Book title:string published:datetime

Or you can get fancy and add a relationship:

Book belongsTo Author title:string published:datetime

... and this will automatically add the "author" method to your Book model, and add "author_id" to your migration table. It will also check to see if the author table has been or will be created before book and auto-assign the foreign key.

You can also include namespaces:

BarnesAndNoble\Book belongsTo Author title:string published:datetime

Don't feel like typing everything all proper? That's fine too!

book belongsto author title:string published:datetime

You can also add multiple relationships!

Book belongsTo Author, hasMany Word title:string published:datetime

Have a lot of properties that are "strings" or "integers" etc? No problem, just group them!

Book belongsTo Author string( title content description publisher ) published:datetime

If you are using the above syntax, please strictly adhere to it (for now).

The seeder now uses faker in order to randomly generate 10 rows in each table. It will try to determine the type, but you can open the seed file to verify. For more information on Faker: https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker

This now utilizes template files, so you can specify the format for your views, controller, repository, and tests in a folder called "templates" in your app directory.

Want to go even FURTHER with the scaffold process?!?! Setup foreman, add ourlearn/laravel-starter to the require-dev section, setup an app file to copy from that adds the laravel starter service provider, setup a database file that sets up your database to copy from, and finally setup a models.txt file to copy from (example above). Save that scaffold file somewhere convenient.

Then, you can edit your bash file to include a new alias:

alias laravel="foremancreate"
foremancreate(){
    foreman build /path/to/htdocs/folder/$1 /path/to/scaffold.json
    cd /path/to/htdocs/folder/$1
    composer update
    php artisan start:file "app/models.txt"
    php artisan migrate
    php artisan db:seed
}

Then run laravel project-name and watch as your application is fully built and scaffolded for you :)
