Fast Workflow in Laravel With Repository Pattern Generators

Build Status

This Laravel package provides a variety of generators to speed up your development process. These generators include:

  • snowman:baserepo
  • snowman:baserepointerface
  • snowman:model
  • snowman:presenter
  • snowman:repo
  • snowman:repointerface
  • snowman:reposerviceprovider
  • snowman:resource
  • snowman:scaffold

Requirements

  • PHP 5.4+
  • Laravel 4.2

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require yhbyun/snowman.

"require-dev": {
	"yhbyun/snowman": "dev-master"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update --dev

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.

'Yhbyun\Snowman\SnowmanServiceProvider'

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

php artisan

Usage

Scaffolding

The snowman:scaffold command will do a number of things for you:

  • Generate a application folder
  • Generate a base repository
  • Generate a base repository interface
  • Generate a repository service provider

Example

php artisan snowman:scaffold acme

This single command will give you boilerplate for:

  • Application Folder

    • app/Acme
    • app/Acme/Presenters
    • app/Acme/Providers
    • app/Acme/Repos
    • app/Acme/Repos/Eloquent
  • app/Acme/Providers/RepoServiceProvider.php

  • app/Acme/Repos/BaseRepoInterface.php

  • app/Acme/Repos/Eloquent/BaseRepo.php

Resources

The snowman:resource command will do a number of things for you:

  • Generate a model
  • Generate a model repository
  • Generate a model repository interface
  • Generate a model presenter
  • Add binding in RepoServiceProvider.php

Example

php artisan snowman:resource acme post

This single command will do the following work:

  • app/Acme/Presenters/PostPresenter.php
  • app/Acme/Providers/RepoServiceProvider.php : add binding
  • app/Acme/Repos/PostRepoInterface.php
  • app/Acme/Repos/Eloquent/PostRepo.php
  • app/Acme/Post.php

Configuration

You may want to modify your templates - how the generated files are formatted. To allow for this, you need to publish the templates that, behind the scenes, the generators will reference.

php artisan snowman:publish-templates

This will copy all templates to your app/templates directory. You can modify these however you wish to fit your desired formatting. If you'd prefer a different directory:

php artisan snowman:publish-templates --path=app/foo/bar/templates

When you run the snowman:publish-templates command, it will also publish the configuration to app/config/packages/yhbyun/snowman/config/config.php. This file will look somewhat like:

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Where the templates for the generators are stored...
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    */
    'model_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/model.txt',
    'repo_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/repo.txt',
    'repo_interface_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/repo_interface.txt',
    'baserepo_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/baserepo.txt',
    'baserepo_interface_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/baserepo_interface.txt',
    'presenter_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/presenter.txt',
    'reposerviceprovider_template_path' => '/Users/yhbyun/my-project/app/templates/reposerviceprovider.txt',


    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Where the generated files will be saved...
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    */

    'target_parant_path'	=> app_path(),
];

Also, while you're in this file, note that you can also update the default target directory for each generator.

Laravel 4 Generators

This package is based upon a Jeffrey Way's generators, which is an indispensable packgage in Laravel.
