1. Run the following 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
(Note: This step is not required if you don't need views.)
3. Publish the configuration file, stubs and the default-theme directory for views:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mrdebug\Crudgen\CrudgenServiceProvider"
Let's illustrate with a real life example : Building a blog
A Post has many (hasMany) Comment and belongs to many (belongsToMany) Tag
A Post can have a title and a content fields
Let's do this 🙂
If you need a REST API instead of CRUD, read this wiki
php artisan make:crud nameOfYourCrud "column1:type, column2" (theory)
php artisan make:crud post "title:string, content:text" (for our example)
Generate CRUD with livewire datatable
When you call this command, the controller, views and request are generated with your fields (in this case, title and content).
Now let's add our relationships (Comment and Tag models) :
We add a hasMany relationship between our Post and Comment
and a belongsToMany with Tag
Two migrations are created (create_posts AND create_post_tag).
create_posts is 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
Both migration files are created in your database/migrations directory. If necessary edit them and run :
php artisan migrate
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.
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)
/posts/create :
/posts :
You can edit and delete your new post. And a show page is created too 🙂
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.
A views directory is created in your resources/views directory. If you want to customize generated views : https://github.com/misterdebug/crud-generator-laravel/wiki/Custom-your-views
You can create views independently of the CRUD generator with :
php artisan make:views nameOfYourDirectoryViews "column1:type, column2"
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"
FYI : Comment is a specific case and you can use make:commentable command
Docs about commentable
Finished 🎉
You can delete all files (except migrations) created by the make:crud command at any time. No need to remove files manually :
php artisan rm:crud nameOfYourCrud --force
php artisan rm:crud post --force (in our example)
The --force flag (optional) deletes all files without confirmation
