A day with Laravel - #013

News from the Laravel ecosystem on June 11, 2023

Jun 11, 2023

Hey devs 👋,

I present you "A Day with Laravel".

If you think of a resource that could be useful for the Laravel dev community, let me know in a comment or DM on Twitter (HappyToDev)

The objective of this newsletter?

🎯 To deliver to you daily, or almost daily*, the recent or important resources (videos, articles, GitHub repos, packages, tutorials, ...) that I could find on Laravel and its ecosystem.

This is a quick content of a few links to feed your watch on Laravel and its ecosystem daily.

* Or almost: why?

Simply because I'm the only one to manage this newsletter and "Quoi de neuf les devs? 🇫🇷" Depending on my availability and obligations, it is possible that this newsletter is not daily.

If you want to support me to encourage me to keep the pace, you can help me by making a one-time or recurring donation starting at 2€ by clicking on the image below or via this link

Customise your 'make' commands

Steve Bauman explains how you can customise the files that will be generated with the `make` command.

Laravel makes it super easy to create your own app "make" commands using your own stubs. If you're working on an application with several team members, it can really help to define these stubs with your team that contains a specific structure for controllers, custom classes, etc.

Steve Bauman

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\GeneratorCommand;

class MakeController extends GeneratorCommand
{
protected $name = 'app:make:controller';

protected $type = 'Application Controller';

protected $description = 'Make a new application controller.';

protected function getStub()
{
return __DIR__.'/stubs/controllers.stub';
}

protected function getDefaultNamespace($rootNamespace)
{
return $rootNamespace.'\Http\Controllers';
}
}

// app/Console/Commands/stubs/controllers.stub

<?php

namespace {{ namespace }};

class {{ class }} extends Controller
{
// Define your own default controller structure.
}
