Genx

About

Genx overrides Laravel's Artisan make:* commands with Zen-formatted generators that produce clean, consistent PHP files. All generated code follows Zen coding standards with 2-space indentation, strict types, and optional final classes.

Installation

composer require druid/genx

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan genx:install

Configuration

After installation, configure Genx in config/genx.php:

Code Style Options

// Add declare(strict_types=1) to all generated files
'strict_types' => true,

// Make all generated classes final
'final_classes' => true,

Package Integrations

// Add Spatie Route Discovery attributes to controllers
'route_discovery' => false,

// Enable zenphp/modulr integration for modular architecture
'modulr' => false,

Generator Paths

Customize where each file type is generated:

'paths' => [
    'controller' => 'app/Http/Controllers',  // or 'app/Controllers' for flat structure
    'model' => 'app/Models',
    'middleware' => 'app/Http/Middleware',   // or 'app/Middleware' for flat structure
    // ... see config file for all options
],

Usage

Use Laravel's standard make:* commands - Genx automatically overrides them:

php artisan make:controller UserController
php artisan make:model Post
php artisan make:middleware RateLimiter
php artisan make:request StoreUserRequest

Route Discovery Integration

When route_discovery is enabled, generated controllers include Spatie Route Discovery attributes:

#[Route(middleware: ['auth', 'verified'])]
final class UserController extends Controller
{
    // ...
}

You'll be prompted to select which middleware to apply to each controller.

Modulr Integration

When modulr is enabled and you have zenphp/modulr installed, you can generate files within modules:

php artisan make:controller UserController --module=billing

Or use the interactive module generator which integrates with Genx prompts:

php artisan modules:make billing
