Laravel DevGuard 🛡️
===================

[](#laravel-devguard-️)

[](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://packagist.org/packages/niduranga/laravel-dev-guard)[](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://packagist.org/packages/niduranga/laravel-dev-guard)[](LICENSE.md)

**Laravel DevGuard** is an AI-powered TDD companion designed specifically for the Laravel Action pattern. It automates the tedious task of writing unit and feature tests by analyzing your business logic and generating production-ready **Pest** or **PHPUnit** tests using Google's Gemini AI.

Stop being a "Balu" developer spending hours on boilerplate tests. Focus on the logic, and let DevGuard handle the coverage.

🚀 Features
----------

[](#-features)

- **Auto-Framework Detection:** Automatically detects whether your project uses **Pest** or **PHPUnit**.
- **Context-Aware Generation:** Analyzes your Action classes and intelligently mocks dependencies.
- **One-Command Setup:** Seamless installation and configuration.
- **Gemini AI Powered:** Uses high-speed, high-accuracy LLMs to understand your code flow.
- **SOLID Compliant:** Generates tests that follow clean architecture and best practices.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require niduranga/laravel-dev-guard
```

After the package is installed, run the installation command to publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan devguard:install
```

⚙️ Configuration
----------------

[](#️-configuration)

1. Get your free API Key from the [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/).
2. Add the following key to your `.env` file:

```
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

# Optional: Defaults to gemini-2.5-flash for high performance you can change to other models
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3-flash-preview
```

🛠️ Usage
--------

[](#️-usage)

Simply point DevGuard to any Action class in your project.

```
php artisan guard:test Actions/CreateUserAction
```

### What happens next?

[](#what-happens-next)

1. **Scanning:** DevGuard reads your `CreateUserAction` class.
2. **Analysis:** It identifies DB interactions, events, and external API calls.
3. **Generation:** AI generates a comprehensive test suite.
4. **Saving:** The test file is automatically saved in `tests/Feature/` or `tests/Unit/`.

✅ Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

We take testing seriously. This package is fully tested with Pest.

```
composer test
```
