Laravel Auto Routes Package

 Auto Routes for Laravel is a package by İzni Burak Demirtaş that generates routes from a controller using auto-discovery. It works by discovering public methods on a controller and generating routes for them:

 1// routes/web.php
 2Route::auto('/test', TestController::class);
 3 
 4//
 5// Controller example
 6//
 7namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 8 
 9use Illuminate\Http\Request;
10 
11class TestController extends Controller
12{
13    /**
14     * URL: "/test" - main method
15     */
16    public function index(Request $request)
17    {
18        // controller code
19    }
20 
21    /**
22     * URL: "/test/foo-bar"
23     * This method will only work with 'GET' method.
24     */
25    public function getFooBar(Request $request)
26    {
27        // controller code
28    }
29 
30    /**
31     * URL: "/test/foo_bar"
32     * This method will only work with 'GET' method.
33     */
34    public function get_foo_bar(Request $request)
35    {
36        // controller code
37    }
38 
39 
40    /**
41     * URL: "/test/bar-baz"
42     * This method will only work with 'POST' method.
43     */
44    public function postBarBaz(Request $request)
45    {
46        // controller code
47    }
48}

The route method also takes a third argument to configure parameters and middleware:

 1Route::auto('/test', TestController::class, [
 2    'name' => 'test',
 3    'middleware' => [YourMiddleware::class],
 4    // Parameters become available to methods
 5    'patterns' => [
 6        'id' => '\d+',
 7        'value' => '\w+',
 8    ],
 9]);
10 
11// Limit the methods that will define routes
12Route::auto('/foo', 'FooController', [
13    'only' => ['fooBar', 'postUpdatePost'],
14]);

While most developers are happy with Laravel's built-in routing definitions (Laravel routing is so good in my humble option), it is a unique idea with examples in the source code of working with PHP's reflection API and the Laravel router.

Add Version Control to Laravel Models

 Version Control for Laravel is a package that provides database version control for Eloquent models. This package works by creating a separate *_versions database table that corresponds with the model (i.e., users_versions).

You start by extending the package's base model for models you'd like to include version control:

1use Redsnapper\LaravelVersionControl\Models\BaseModel;
2 
3class Post extends BaseModel
4{
5}

Since two tables are required, you need to use the provided base Migration class to define migrations:

 1use Redsnapper\LaravelVersionControl\Database\Blueprint;
 2use Redsnapper\LaravelVersionControl\Database\Migration;
 3 
 4class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
 5{
 6    /**
 7     * Run the migrations.
 8     *
 9     * @return void
10     */
11    public function up()
12    {
13        $this->makeVcTables("users",function(Blueprint $table){
14            $table->string('email')->unique();
15            $table->string('password');
16        },function(Blueprint $table){
17            $table->string('email');
18            $table->string('password');
19        });
20    }
21}

Finally, you can retrieve model versions using the versions() method on models that extend the base model in this package:

1$model->versions();
