Laravel Shift Blueprint

 Laravel Shift Blueprint is a code generation tool for Laravel developers by Jason McCreary:

Blueprint is an open-source tool for rapidly generating multiple Laravel components from a single, human-readable definition.

Blueprint works by using a draft file (YAML) that contains definitions of the components it should generate. The readme provides an example draft.yml file in the root of a Laravel v6.x project:

 1models:
 2  Post:
 3    title: string:400
 4    content: longtext
 5    published_at: nullable timestamp
 6 
 7controllers:
 8  Post:
 9    index:
10      query: all
11      render: post.index with:posts
12 
13    store:
14      validate: title, content
15      save: post
16      send: ReviewNotification to:post.author with:post
17      dispatch: SyncMedia with:post
18      fire: NewPost with:post
19      flash: post.title
20      redirect: post.index

The draft file produces a Post model with fillable fields, attribute casts, dates, and relationships. For a full list of examples, be sure to check out the project’s readme.
