Laravel Database To Form
========================

[](#laravel-database-to-form)

Automatically generate **Blade forms** and **Form request** classes from your database schemas or JSON schema files with `old()` support and built-in CSS styling.

Package Name
------------

[](#package-name)

`laravel-schema-to-form`

Composer: `mbparvez`

GitHub: [mbparvezme](https://github.com/mbparvezme)

Author: [M B Parvez](https://mbparvez.me)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Generate JSON schemas from database tables.
- Generate Blade forms automatically with:
    - `old()` function for preserving input values
    - `required` attributes
    - Default values
    - Correct input types (`text`, `email`, `checkbox`, `textarea`, etc.)
    - Built-in CSS classes (Bootstrap or custom)
- Generate Laravel **FormRequest** classes with proper validation rules.
- Fully customizable templates for Blade and FormRequest.
- Configurable FormRequest namespace and Blade output directory.

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

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require mphp/laravel-db2form
```

Laravel will auto-discover the package. No extra steps needed to use it.

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### 1. Generate JSON from DB Tables

[](#1-generate-json-from-db-tables)

```
php artisan form:generate-json
```

Options:

- `--tables=users,posts` → generate JSON only for selected tables
- `--output=custom/path` → save JSON files in a custom folder

### 2. Generate Blade Forms and FormRequest

[](#2-generate-blade-forms-and-formrequest)

```
php artisan form:generate-form
```

Options:

- `--schema=path/to/schema.json` → generate form for a single schema file
- `--output=resources/views/custom_forms` → save Blade files in a custom folder

### 3. Generate JSON + Form Together

[](#3-generate-json--form-together)

```
php artisan form:generate
```

This core command runs both `form:generate-json` and `form:generate-form` in sequence. Use it to generate everything (JSON schemas, Blade forms, and FormRequest classes) at once.

Example Workflow
----------------

[](#example-workflow)

### 1. Generate JSON from database tables:

[](#1-generate-json-from-database-tables)

```
php artisan form:generate-json --tables=users,posts
```

This will create JSON files in `database/form_schemas/`.

### 2. Generate Blade forms and FormRequests from JSON:

[](#2-generate-blade-forms-and-formrequests-from-json)

```
php artisan form:generate-form
```

This will generate:

- Blade files in `resources/views/forms/`
- FormRequest classes in `app/Http/Requests/`
- Input fields automatically include old() values and CSS classes

### 3. Generate Both JSON and Forms in One Step:

[](#3-generate-both-json-and-forms-in-one-step)

```
php artisan form:generate
```

This will automatically:

- Generate JSON schemas from the database
- Generate Blade forms and FormRequests

Publish Templates and Config (Optional)
