Laravel Artisan Make:Commands & Parameters

In this blog, I will explain the Artisan command. Artisan is the name of the command-line interface included with Laravel. It provides many helpful commands for your use while developing Projects

So, you can read and learn the command in laravel project to very useful

So, lets start with the artisan command to learn

1. make:controller

This command creates a new controller file in the app/Http/Controllers folder.

Example usage:

php artisan make:controller UserController

Parameters:

--resource

The controller will contain a method for each of the available resource operations – index(), create(), store(), show(), edit(), update(), destroy().

--api

Similar to –resource above, but generate only 5 methods: index(), store(), show(), update(), destroy(). Because create/edit forms are not needed for API.

--invokable

Generates controller with one __invoke() method. Read more about invokable controllers here.

--model=Photo

If you use route model binding and want the resource controller’s methods to type-hint a model instance.

--parent=Photo

Officially undocumented parameter, in the code it says “Generate a nested resource controller class” but for me, it failed to generate a Controller properly. So probably a work in progress.

2. make:model

Create a new Eloquent model class.

Example usage:

php artisan make:model Photo

Parameters:

--migration

or

-m

Create a new migration file for the model.

--controller

or

-c

Create a new controller for the model.

--resource

or

-r

Indicates if the generated controller should be a resource controller.

Yes, you’ve got it right, you can do it like this:

php artisan make:model Project --migration --controller --resource

Or even shorter:

php artisan make:model Project -mcr

But that’s not all to make:model.

--factory

or

-f

Create a new factory for the model.

--all

or

-a

Generate the above: a migration, factory, and resource controller for the model.

--force

Create the class even if the model already exists.

Indicates if the generated model should be a custom intermediate table model.
