Define your backend once, generate everything else. **Laravel Scaffold** is a developer productivity tool that generates **production-ready Laravel APIs** from either: - an **existing database**, or - a **simple human-readable spec file** It is designed for developers and teams who build **many backends**, not demos. ✅ Used in production ✅ Spec-driven & DB-driven ✅ Clean architecture (Services, Repositories, Requests) ✅ Safe, fast, and extensible --- Why This Exists --------------- [](#why-this-exists) If you’ve built more than a few Laravel applications, you already know the pattern: - Create models - Write migrations - Build repositories - Add services - Repeat validation rules - Repeat again on the next project This tool exists to **eliminate that repetition**. Instead of writing structure over and over, you define **intent once**, and let the tool generate consistent, maintainable code. --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require ahertl/laravel-scaffold ``` --- Two Ways to Use It ------------------ [](#two-ways-to-use-it) ### 1️⃣ Database-First Scaffolding (Legacy or Existing Projects) [](#1️⃣-database-first-scaffolding-legacy-or-existing-projects) Generate a full CRUD API directly from an existing table: ``` php artisan laravel:scaffold User --table=users --routes ``` This generates: - Model - Repository - Service - Controller - Optional routes Perfect for: - legacy systems - modernizing old databases - inherited projects --- ### 2️⃣ Spec-Driven Scaffolding (Recommended) [](#2️⃣-spec-driven-scaffolding-recommended) Define your backend using a **simple text spec**: ``` user: - name string required - email string required unique - password string hidden book: - title string - isbn string unique - authorId number ``` Generate everything: ``` php artisan laravel:scaffold --spec=api.spec --migration ``` --- What Gets Generated ------------------- [](#what-gets-generated) From a single spec, Laravel Scaffold can generate: - ✅ Eloquent models (fillable & hidden handled) - ✅ Services & repositories - ✅ Controllers - ✅ Form Request validation classes - ✅ Database migrations - ✅ API routes (optional) You can also generate **only migrations**: ``` php artisan laravel:scaffold --spec=api.spec --migration-only ``` --- Why Spec-Driven? ---------------- [](#why-spec-driven) Spec-driven development ensures: - Database schema - Validation rules - API structure …all come from **one source of truth**. This dramatically reduces: - bugs - inconsistencies - onboarding time --- Dry-Run Mode (Safe by Default) ------------------------------ [](#dry-run-mode-safe-by-default) Preview what will be generated **without writing files**: ``` php artisan laravel:scaffold --spec=api.spec --dry-run ``` --- Example Output Structure ------------------------ [](#example-output-structure) ``` app/ ├── Models/User.php ├── Services/UserService.php ├── Repositories/UserRepository.php ├── Http/ │ ├── Controllers/UserController.php │ └── Requests/ │ ├── StoreUserRequest.php │ └── UpdateUserRequest.php database/ └── migrations/ ``` --- When This Tool Shines --------------------- [](#when-this-tool-shines) Laravel Scaffold is ideal if you: - Build multiple Laravel backends - Work on ERP, SaaS, or internal systems - Want consistent architecture across projects - Are tired of rewriting CRUD - Want faster backend delivery without shortcuts --- Production Use -------------- [](#production-use) This tool has been used in **multiple real-world projects** to: - speed up backend delivery - standardize API structure - reduce boilerplate and human error --- Philosophy ---------- [](#philosophy) This is **not** a “magic CRUD generator”. It enforces: - separation of concerns - explicit structure - predictable output You stay in control — the tool just removes the busy work. --- Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) Planned improvements include: - foreign key detection - richer spec syntax (`string:150`, `default:true`) - OpenAPI generation - frontend SDK scaffolding --- Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) This project is actively maintained and opinionated by the author. - Bug reports and feature discussions are welcome via Issues - Pull requests should be discussed first before implementation - Architectural changes will be evaluated carefully to maintain consistency The goal is to keep the tool stable, predictable, and production-ready. Project Governance ------------------ [](#project-governance) Laravel Scaffold follows a Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL) model. The maintainer retains final decision-making authority to ensure long-term consistency and quality. --- License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 82% of packages Maintenance74 Regular maintenance activity Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
