Open On Make
============

[](#open-on-make)

A package that makes it easy to have the `artisan make:` commands open the newly created file in your editor of choice.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require --dev ahuggins/open-on-make`

This package defaults to VS Code using the `code` command, this can be changed by using the Artisan command:

`php artisan open:install`

It will ask you which editor you want, enter the corresponding number and hit enter. It will update your env file with the CLI command.

> You can still set this manually, this was intended to streamline the process, make it a little faster and one less thing to look up.

> Feel free to suggest or open a PR with additional editors if anything is missing.

Set env Editor manually
-----------------------

[](#set-env-editor-manually)

```
OPEN_ON_MAKE_EDITOR=nameOfCliCommandForEditor
OPEN_ON_MAKE_FLAGS='-a' // Flags you need passed to the above Command

```

> Most people will probably only need to add `OPEN_ON_MAKE_EDITOR` to their .env file.

#### Publish the config

[](#publish-the-config)

- publish the package config with

    `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=open-on-make`

```
OPEN_ON_MAKE_ENABLED=false
