Matronator/Generator
====================

[](#matronatorgenerator)

[![MTRGen Logo](.github/logo.png)](.github/logo.png)

Automatically generate Entity and related files from the console.

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

```
composer require matronator/generator --dev

```

#### Troubleshooting

[](#troubleshooting)

If you get this error when trying to install:

```
matronator/generator dev-master requires composer-runtime-api ^2.2 -> found composer-runtime-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint.

```

Run this command to update composer to the latest version:

```
composer self-update

```

If you can't or don't want to update composer, use version `"^1.0"` of this package as that doesn't depend on Composer runtime API 2.2.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You run the script from terminal using this command:

```
# Start interactive utility that walks you through steps to generate files
vendor/bin/mtrgen

# To list all available commands
vendor/bin/mtrgen list

# To see all generate commands
vendor/bin/mtrgen list generate

# To see usage of generate command
vendor/bin/mtrgen generate --help
vendor/bin/mtrgen gen -h

# Generate entity only
vendor/bin/mtrgen generate:entity EntityName
vendor/bin/mtrgen gen:e EntityName

# Generate entity, repo and facade
vendor/bin/mtrgen generate --type=database Name
vendor/bin/mtrgen gen -t database Name

```

#### Generating from config file

[](#generating-from-config-file)

You can specify if you want to generate the files from a config by setting the `--config` (or the shorthand `-c`) option to the path to your config file, like this:

```
vendor/bin/mtrgen generate --config=path/to/config/file.yml

```

You can find a sample config file in the `src/` folder under a name `config.sample.yml`. So if you installed this via Composer, it would be in `vendor/matronator/generator/src/config.sample.yml`.
