Laranest - Laravel with modules

A simple scaffolding package inspired by NestJs architecture. Each module encapsulates its own controller, requests, and model - keeping your application organized and scalable.

Requirements

• PHP ^7.4 | ^8.0
• Laravel ^8.0 | ^9.0 | ^10.0 | ^11.0 | ^12.0

Install

To install via Composer, run

composer require henrygodev/laravel-module

The package is auto-discovery by Laravel - no need to register the service provider manually.

Usage

Basic module

php artisan make:module Product

Generates:

app/
└── Modules/
    └── Products/
        ├── Controllers/
        │   └── ProductController.php
        ├── Models/
        │   └── Product.php
        └── Requests/
            ├── StoreProductRequest.php
            └── UpdateProductRequest.php

API module

Generate a controller with JSON response and full CRUD methods.

php artisan make:module Product --api

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function index(): JsonResponse { ... }
    public function store(StoreProductRequest $request): JsonResponse { ... }
    public function show(Product $product): JsonResponse { ... }
    public function update(UpdateProductRequest $request, Product $product): JsonResponse { ... }
    public function destroy(Product $product): JsonResponse { ... }
}

Resource module

Generate a controller with view returns and redirects, following Laravel's resource convention.

php artisan make:module Product --resource

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function index() { ... }
    public function create() { ... }
    public function store(StoreProductRequest $request) { ... }
    public function show(Product $model) { ... }
    public function edit(Product $model) { ... }
    public function update(UpdateProductRequest $request, Product $model) { ... }
    public function destroy(Product $model) { ... }
}

Multi-word names

The module name is automatically converted to StudlyCase and pluralized.

php artisan make:module ProductCategory
# or
php artisan make:module product_category

Both generate:

app/Modules/ProductCategories/

Customizing stubs

Publish the defaults stubs to your project:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=larvel-module-stubs

This copies all stubs to:

stubs/
└── laravel-module/
    ├── controller.stub
    ├── controller-api-imports.stub
    ├── controller-api-methods.stub
    ├── controller-resource-methods.stub
    ├── model.stub
    ├── store-request.stub
    └── update-request.stub

Edit any stub to match your project conventions. Published stubs take priority over the package defaults - you only need to publish the ones you want to customize.

Example: adding SoftDelete to every generated model:

// stubs/laravel-module/model.stub
<?php
 
namespace {{ namespace }};
 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
 
class {{ class }} extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;
 
    protected $guarded = [];
}

From that point on, every module you generate will include SoftDeletes automatically.

Rollback on failure

If any file fails to generate, the package automatically removes all files an directories created during that run, leaving your project clean.
