About this package

This package contains artisan make:crud commands to create a simple CRUD feature with test classes on our Laravel 5.5 (and later) application. This package is fairly simple, to boost test-driven development method on our laravel application.

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

• App\Models\Vehicle.php eloquent model
• xxx_create_vehicles_table.php migration file
• VehicleController.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

Main purpose

The main purpose of this package is for faster Test-driven Development, it generates model CRUD scaffolds complete with Testing Classes which will use Laravel Browserkit Testing package and PHPUnit.
