Cray For Laravel

What is Cray?

Cray is a disposable Laravel package to help you generate nearly complete CRUD pages like crazy. Literally. It's also a bit opinionated.

If you build straight-forward CRUD pages more often manually writing all the same logic becomes a chore. Cray will not only save you a save but also give you a better way to organize your code.

So what do you mean by disposable?

You use Cray and forget about it. It isn't coupled with your installation of Laravel and it is preferred to be installed as a dev dependency. Cray generates the files and it forgets about them and they are all yours to modify do whatever you want.

What does it actually do?

Suppose you are building a blog, and you want to create a Post model then you have to do a ton of other tedious and to be honest, boring things like creating migrations, model factories, the controller, form validation and adding all the logic and what not.

So what Cray does is when you tell it the model name, it will do all those boring things I listed earlier. When it's done you have the following:

• Post.php
• PostController.php with all the necessary logic to list, edit, create and delete posts.
• PostStoreRequest.php and PostUpdateRequest.php
• Timestamped create_posts_table.php migration file
• PostFactory.php
• posts views directory with index.blade.php, create.blade.php, edit.blade.php, show.blade.php, modals/delete.blade.phpas well as a blank _form.blade.php for you to add the fields.

Then all you have to do is:

• Add the columns to the migration file
• Add the necessary fields (as defined in the last step) to the _form.blade.php
• Add validation rules for the fields you added to the form.

Installation

composer require jq/cray --dev

Or specify specific version, for example to try a beta

composer require "jq/cray:3.2.0-beta3" --dev

Then publish the stubs

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=cray

It will generate stubs to resources/vendor/cray/stubs directory.

Usage

php artisan cray Post

Once done, it will show you the details of the files generated.

View created successfully in /resources/views/posts/modals/delete.blade.php
Request created successfully in /app/Http/Requests/PostStoreRequest.php
Request created successfully in /app/Http/Requests/PostUpdateRequest.php

Now add the necessary fields and run

php artisan migrate

And that saved you an hour worth of repetitive and boring work which you can spend on more important development challenges.
