Blueprint

Blueprint is a powerful CRUD generator to speed up the development of your laravel apps.

Installation

Blueprint Package requires Laravel 5.5 or higher.

INFO: If you are using an older version of Laravel this package may not function correctly.

The supported way of installing Blueprint package is via Composer.

composer require phpjuice/blueprint --dev

This package supports Package Auto Discovery feature on Laravel 5.5 or higher the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    PHPJuice\Blueprint\BlueprintServiceProvider::class,
];

After that, you can publish its Template Files using the vendor:publish Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blueprint.templates

You can publish the Configuration file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blueprint.config

When published, the config/blueprint.php config file contains:

<?php

return [
    'custom_template' => false,
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Blueprint Template Stubs Storage Path
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you can specify your custom template path for the generator.
    |
     */
    'path' => base_path('resources/vendor/blueprint/'),
];

Usage

Blueprint crud generator is designed to be very simple and straightforward to use. All you need to do is to create a crud blueprint file then generate it.

Creating a CRUD

Inorder to create a blueprint file we use the following artisan command :

php artisan blueprint:make CRUD_NAME

Example:

php artisan blueprint:make Post

After running this command a crud blueprint file will be generated under your database folder database/blueprints, the naming convention will follow laravel migrations naming conventions. ex: 2018_12_09_144004_create_post_crud_blueprint.json

And here is a basic strucure for a blueprint json file,following laravel's naming conventions the crud will generate resource names from the CRUD_NAME arguement passed to php artisan blueprint:make command.

Example:

{
    "crud": {
        "name": "Post",
        "namespace": "Posts",
        "isApi": true
    },
    "controller": {
        "name": "PostsController",
        "pagination": 10,
        "validations": []
    },
    "model": {
        "name": "Post",
        "fillable": "",
        "hidden": "",
        "softDeletes": false,
        "relationships": []
    },
    "table": {
        "name": "posts",
        "schema": {
            "fields": [],
            "keys": {
                "primary": "id",
                "foreign": [],
                "indexes": []
            },
            "softDeletes": false
        }
    },
    "route": {
        "name": "posts",
        "url": "posts",
        "middlewares": []
    }
}

Generating a CRUD

Inorder to generate the crud we created we use the following command :

php artisan blueprint:generate CRUD_NAME

Example:

php artisan blueprint:generate Post

Note: note that we are using the crud name not the curd file name, this command will try to look for a crud blueprint under your database/blueprints folder with the provided name, if none is found it will ask you to create a new crud under that name.

After running this command a the following files will be generated :

• Controller
• Model
• Request
• Response
• Migration
• Test

And by default, the generator will attempt to append the crud route to your Route file. following this snippet Route::apiResource('route-name', 'controller-name');

Runing Crud Migrations

After generating the curd and creating all resources, run migrate command:

php artisan migrate
