Generate Laravel models from an existing database

Generate Laravel models from an existing database.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require giacomomasseron/laravel-models-generator

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-models-generator-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'clean_models_directory_before_generation' => true,
    
    /**
     * Add declare(strict_types=1); to the top of each generated model file
     */
    'strict_types' => true,
    
    /**
     * Add $connection model property
     */
    'connection' => true,
    
    /**
     * Add $table model property
     */
    'table' => true,
    
    /**
     * Add $primaryKey model property
     */
    'primary_key' => true,

    /**
     * Add $primaryKey field to fillable array
     */
    'primary_key_in_fillable' => true,

    'parent' => Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::class,
    'namespace' => 'App\Models',

    /**
     * [
     *      'table_name' => 'polymorphic_type',
     *
     *      ex. for official laravel documentation
     *          'posts' => 'commentable',
     *
     * ]
     */
    'morphs' => [
    ],

    /**
     * Interface(s) implemented by all models
     */
    'interfaces' => [
    ],

    /**
     * Trait(s) used by all models
     */
    'traits' => [
    ],

    /**
     * Enum(s) used in laravel casts function
     */
    'enums_casting' => [
    ],

    /**
     * Excluded Tables
     */
    'except' => [
        'migrations',
        'failed_jobs',
        'password_resets',
        'personal_access_tokens',
        'password_reset_tokens',
    ],
];

Coming soon ... all drivers supported by doctrine/dbal.

Polymorphic relationships

To add polymorphic relationships to your models, you can use morphs array in the config file.
If you have tables like this:

posts
id - integer
name - string

users
id - integer
name - string

images
id - integer
url - string
imageable_id - integer
imageable_type - string

And config file like this:

'morphs' => [
    'posts' => 'imageable'
],

This relationship will be created in the Image model:

public function imageable(): MorphTo
{
    return $this->morphTo(__FUNCTION__, 'imageable_type', 'imageable_id');
}

This relationship will be created in the Post model:

public function images(): MorphMany
{
    return $this->morphMany(Image::class, 'images');
}

Interfaces

If you want your models implement interface(s), use interfaces value in config:

'interfaces' => [
],

Traits

If you want your models use trait(s), use traits value in config:

'traits' => [
],

Testing

composer test
