Development in progress

About this package

With this package installed on local environment, we can use (e.g.) php artisan make:crud Vehicle command to generate some files :

• App\Vehicle.php eloquent model
• xxx_create_vehicles_table.php migration file
• VehiclesController.php
• index.blade.php and forms.blade.php view file in resources/views/vehicles directory
• resources/lang/vehicle.php lang file
• VehicleFactory.php model factory file
• VehiclePolicy.php model policy file in app/Policies directory
• ManageVehiclesTest.php feature test class in tests/Feature directory
• VehicleTest.php unit test class in tests/Unit/Models directory
• VehiclePolicyTest.php unit test class in tests/Unit/Policies directory

It will update some file :

• Update routes/web.php to add vehicles resource route
• Update app/providers/AuthServiceProvider.php to add Vehicle model Policy class in $policies property

It will also create this file if it not exists :

• resources/lang/app.php lang file if it not exists
• tests/BrowserKitTest.php base Feature TestCase class if it not exists

The Model and table will only have 2 pre-definded attributes or columns : name and description on each generated model and database table.

Attention

• You need a resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php view file, simply create one with php artisan make:auth command.
• Use this package on new Laravel project for simulation.
• It will creates the Model class file, ~don't use it to generate files for existing Model~ it cancel the command if the Model already exists.
• This package still in development

Let's try the generated testing suite

Next, to use the generated testing classes, we can set the database environment using in-memory database SQLite. Open phpunit.xml. Add two lines below on the env :

<phpunit>
    <!-- ..... -->
    <php>
        <!-- ..... -->
        <env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
        <env name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
    </php>
</phpunit>

Then run PHPUnit

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

All tests should be passed.
