Introduction

The Laravel-Stub package enhances the development workflow in Laravel by providing a set of customizable stubs. Stubs are templates used to scaffold code snippets for various components like models, controllers, and migrations. With Laravel-Stub, developers can easily tailor these stubs to match their project's coding standards and conventions. This package aims to streamline the code generation process, fostering consistency and efficiency in Laravel projects. Explore the customization options and boost your development speed with Laravel-Stub.

Requirements

---

• PHP >= 8.0
• Laravel >= 9.0

Version/Laravel	L9	L10	L11

Installation

You can install the package with Composer:

composer require binafy/laravel-stub

You don't need to publish anything.

Usage

Create a stub file

First of all, create a stub file called model.stub:

touch model.stub

Add some code to that, like this:

<?php

namespace {{ NAMESPACE }};

class {{ CLASS }}
{
    
}

How to use Laravel Stub

You may use Laravel Stub, you need to use the LaravelStub facade:

use Binafy\LaravelStub\Facades\LaravelStub;

LaravelStub::class;

from

First thing, you need to use the from method to give the stub path:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub');

to

So, you need to determine the destination path of the stub file:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App');

name

You can determine the stub file but also attention don't write the stub extension:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model');

ext

You can determine the stub extension:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php');

replace

The replace method takes two parameters, the first one is the key (variable) and the second one is the value. The value will be replaced with the variable:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php')
    ->replace('NAMESPACE', 'App');

replaces

The replaces method takes an array. If you want to replace multiple variables you can use this method:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php')
    ->replaces([
        'NAMESPACE' => 'App',
        'CLASS' => 'Milwad'
    ]);

moveStub

By default, Laravel Stub creates a copy from your stub file and moves it to the destination path. If you want to move the current stub file, you can use the moveStub method:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php')
    ->replaces([
        'NAMESPACE' => 'App',
        'CLASS' => 'Milwad'
    ])
    ->moveStub();

After running this code, the model.stub didn't exist.

download

If you want to download the stub file, you can use the download method:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php')
    ->replaces([
        'NAMESPACE' => 'App',
        'CLASS' => 'Milwad'
    ])
    ->download(); // Return download response

generate

The important method is generate. To generate the stub file at the end you need to use the generate method to generate stub file:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->ext('php')
    ->replaces([
        'NAMESPACE' => 'App',
        'CLASS' => 'Milwad'
    ])
    ->generate();

NOTE: Don't use the download and generate methods in one chain.

The final file will be like this (new-model.php):

<?php

namespace App;

class Milwad
{
    
}

laravel-stub's Issues

i need to keep my stub file

laravel-stub/src/LaravelStub.php

Line 145 in 2375874

File::move($this->from, $path);

from this line of code im using local stub file for example my-projects/stubs/SampleController.stubs, when generate the original stubs file is moved , consider you to changes this line of code to be

        // Copy file
        File::copy($this->from, $path);

so it can keep my original stub to more reuseable

Tab support

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your efforts in creating this package.

I have question for you. Do you have any plans for new line and tab prefix support (\n\t)?

I have personal stub service and it's adds new lines and tabs:

implode("\n    " . str_repeat('    ', 4), $field);

I wondering if you will have some support for this? eg:

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->newLinePrefix()
    ->replace('NAMESPACE', [
        'use Blueprint\Models\Column;',
        'use Blueprint\Models\Random;',
    ]);

LaravelStub::from(__DIR__ . 'model.stub')
    ->to(__DIR__ . '/App')
    ->name('new-model')
    ->tabPrefix()
    ->replace('FIELDS', [
        "TextColumn::make('title'),",
        "TextColumn::make('content'),",
    ]);
