Laravel Stub Generator
A php laravel package to generate useable php files from given stub files .
Installation
Require the package using composer:
composer require touhidurabir/laravel-stub-generator
Usage
The best approach to use this via the facade as
use Touhidurabir\StubGenerator\Facades\StubGenerator
and then implement as follow
StubGenerator::from('some/path/to/stub/file.stub') // the stub file path
->to('some/path/to/store/generated/file') // the store directory path
->as('TheGeneratingFileNameItself') // the generatable file name without extension
->withReplacers([]) // the stub replacing params
->save(); // save the file
Also possible to get the generated content as string or download the generated file
StubGenerator::from('path')->to('path')->as('name')->withReplacers([])->toString(); // get generated content
StubGenerator::from('path')->as('name')->withReplacers([])->download(); // download the file
By default it assume all the given path for from and to methods are relative path, but it can also work with absolute path by specifying that.
StubGenerator::from('some/path/to/stub/file.stub', true) // the second argument **true** specify absolute path
->to('some/path/to/store/generated/file', false, true) // the third argument **true** specify absolute path
->as('TheGeneratingFileNameItself')
->withReplacers([])
->save();
Also if the store directory path does not exists, it can create that target store path if that is specified in the method call.
StubGenerator::from('some/path/to/stub/file.stub', true)
->to('some/path/to/store/generated/file', true, true) // the second argument **true** specify to generated path if not exists
->as('TheGeneratingFileNameItself')
->withReplacers([])
->save();
If the saved generated file aleady exists, it is also possible to replace that with the newly generated one if that is specified via the replace method.
StubGenerator::from('some/path/to/stub/file.stub') // the stub file path
->to('some/path/to/store/generated/file') // the store directory path
->as('TheGeneratingFileNameItself') // the generatable file name without extension
->withReplacers([]) // the stub replacing params
->replace(true) // instruct to replace if already exists at the give path
->save(); // save the file
One important thing to note that this package can handle not just string type values to but also hanlde array and boolean type also. So basically it can do as :
->withReplacers([
'replacer_1' = 'some value',
'replacer_2' = ['some', 'more', 'values'],
'replacer_3' = true,
])
Example
Considering the following stub file
${{modelInstance}}
* @return void
*/
public function __construct({{model}} ${{modelInstance}}) {
$this->model = ${{modelInstance}};
$this->modelClass = get_class(${{modelInstance}});
}
}
If the stub file stored at the location of app/stubs/repository.stub and we want to create a new repository file named UserRepository.php at the path app/Repositories/, then
StubGeneratorFacade::from('/app/stubs/repository.stub')
->to('/app/Repositories', true)
->as('UserRepository')
->withReplacers([
'class' => 'UserRepository',
'model' => 'User',
'modelInstance' => 'user',
'modelNamespace' => 'App\\Models',
'baseClass' => 'Touhidurabir\\ModelRepository\\BaseRepository',
'baseClassName' => 'BaseRepository',
'classNamespace' => 'App\\Repositories',
])
->save();
will generate such file content of UserRepository.php
namespace App\Repositories;
use Touhidurabir\ModelRepository\BaseRepository;
use App\Models\User;
class UserRepository extends BaseRepository {
/**
* Constructor to bind model to repo
*
* @param object
$user
* @return void
*/
public function __construct(User $user) {
$this->model = $user;
$this->modelClass = get_class($user);
}
}
Extras
Sometimes what we have is the namespace that follows the psr-4 standeard and that namespace path is what we intend to use for path. This package can not direcly work with the namespace path and it includes a handy trait that can help up to some extent.
To use the trait
use Touhidurabir\StubGenerator\Concerns\NamespaceResolver;
class Someclass {
use NamespaceResolver;
}
Available Methods of NamespaceResolver
resolveClassName(string $name)
As per defination
/**
* Resolve the class name and class store path from give class namespace
* In case a full class namespace provides, need to extract class name
*
* @param string $name
* @return string
*/
public function resolveClassName(string $name)
It extract the class name from given full class namespace.
resolveClassNamespace(string $name)
As per defination
/**
* Resolve the class namespace from given class name
*
* @param string $name
* @return mixed
*/
public function resolveClassNamespace(string $name)
It extract the class namespace only from given full class namespace.
generateFilePathFromNamespace(string $namespace = null)
As per defination
/**
* Generate class store path from give namespace
*
* @param mixed
$namespace
* @return mixed
*/
public function generateFilePathFromNamespace(string $namespace = null)
It generate the class relative path from given class full namespace.
