Useful Artisan Commands
=======================

[](#useful-artisan-commands)

A collection of handy Laravel Artisan commands for generating actions, DTOs, and configuring databases.

Requires **PHP 8.2+** and **Laravel 12 or 13**.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require smonteromx/useful-artisan-commands --dev
```

Auto-discovery registers the commands automatically.

Automatic PostgreSQL Verification
---------------------------------

[](#automatic-postgresql-verification)

When the package is installed, it automatically listens for `migrate*` Artisan commands. For PostgreSQL connections, it verifies that:

- the configured database exists, creating it through a maintenance `postgres` connection when possible
- the configured migrations schema exists when `database.migrations.table` uses `schema.table` notation

This requires no application service provider setup while Laravel package auto-discovery is enabled. The verification also runs eagerly during unit tests so migration-backed test databases can be prepared before the test suite touches the connection.

If package discovery is disabled for this package, manually register `SMonteroMx\UsefulArtisanCommands\UsefulArtisanCommandsServiceProvider` in `bootstrap/providers.php`.

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### `make:action`

[](#makeaction)

Generates an action class in `app/Actions/`. The `Action` suffix is auto-appended.

```
php artisan make:action CreateUser
# -> app/Actions/CreateUserAction.php

php artisan make:action Billing/ChargeInvoice
# -> app/Actions/Billing/ChargeInvoiceAction.php
```

OptionDescription`-d`, `--data`Also generate a matching DTO class`-f`, `--force`Overwrite if file already exists### `make:data`

[](#makedata)

Generates a `final readonly` DTO class in `app/Data/`. The `Data` suffix is auto-appended.

```
php artisan make:data CreateUser
# -> app/Data/CreateUserData.php
```

OptionDescription`-f`, `--force`Overwrite if file already exists### `app:config-db`

[](#appconfig-db)

Interactive prompt to configure PostgreSQL connection details in your `.env` file.

```
php artisan app:config-db
```

Prompts for host, port, database name, username, and password. Before saving, it shows a review table and lets you correct selected fields.

Customizing Stubs
-----------------

[](#customizing-stubs)

Publish the stubs to customize the generated file templates:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=useful-artisan-commands-stubs
```

This copies `action.stub` and `data.stub` to your project's `stubs/` directory. The commands will use your local stubs over the package defaults.
