LaraCRUD Generator
==================

[](#laracrud-generator)

Generate complete CRUD APIs for Laravel with a single Artisan command.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- API Controller with full CRUD operations
- Form Request validation classes (Create & Update)
- API Resource for JSON transformation
- Repository pattern (Interface + Implementation) with listing logic in the repository layer
- DTO generation using Spatie Laravel Data
- Spatie Query Builder integration (filters, sorts, includes) — encapsulated in the repository
- JSON:API pagination via Spatie JSON API Paginate (config-driven parameter names and defaults)
- OpenAPI documentation attributes driven by `json-api-paginate` config (supports `page[number]`/`page[size]` and cursor pagination)
- Automatic route registration
- Automatic service provider binding
- Smart column type detection (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server) with automatic `Carbon` casting for date/datetime/timestamp columns

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file:

```

Available options in `config/crud-generator.php`:

```
return [
    'model_namespace'       => 'App\\Models',
    'controller_namespace'  => 'App\\Http\\Controllers\\Api',
    'request_namespace'     => 'App\\Http\\Requests\\Api',
    'resource_namespace'    => 'App\\Http\\Resources\\Api',
    'repository_namespace'  => 'App\\Repositories',
    'dto_namespace'         => 'App\\DTO',
    'route_file'            => 'routes/api.php',
    'service_provider'      => 'app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php',
    'excluded_columns'      => ['id', 'created_at', 'updated_at', ...],
    'use_query_builder'     => true,
    'use_json_api_paginate' => true,
    'use_spatie_data'       => true,
];
```

Customizing Business Logic
--------------------------

[](#customizing-business-logic)

The generated code is yours to modify. The repository pattern keeps all data-access logic (including listing with filters, sorts, and pagination) in the repository layer, keeping controllers thin.

### Generated repository structure

[](#generated-repository-structure)

The generated repository includes a `list()` method that encapsulates query builder logic:

```
// app/Repositories/CompanyRepository.php (generated)
