Reversify

Note
Reversify is still in testing. Functionality may be unstable at best. If you would like to assist in getting this project off the ground, feel free to fork and submit pull requests for new features, bug fixes, or improvements.

Reversify is a Laravel package designed to reverse engineer your existing database schema to create fully functional migrations, models, controllers that include relationships, traits, attributes, and more. It simplifies the process of reverse-engineering your database into Laravel components, making it ideal for legacy systems or rapid development.

Features

• Migrations: Generate Laravel migrations from your database schema, including foreign keys and constraints.
• Models: Create Eloquent models with support for:
  • Traits
  • Fillable, guarded, casts, with, and hidden attributes
  • Relationships (e.g., belongsTo, hasMany, etc.)
  • Lifecycle hooks (creating, updating, etc.)
• Controllers: Generate CRUD resource controllers for your database tables.
• Dynamic Configuration: Fully configurable to suit your project's needs.

Installation

1. Require the package via Composer:

   composer require abevanation/reversify
   

2. Publish the configuration file:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=reversify-config
   

   This will create a config/reversify.php file where you can customize the package behavior.

3. Add the ReversifyBlueprintMacroServiceProvider to your bootstrap/providers.php (Laravel 11) or config/app.php (Laravel 10 or earlier) if it isn't already registered:

   App\Providers\ReversifyBlueprintMacroServiceProvider::class,
   

Configuration

The configuration file (config/reversify.php) allows you to customize how the package generates migrations, models, and controllers.

Commands

Generate Migrations

php artisan reversify:migrations

• Scans the database schema and generates migration files for each table.
• A separate migration file is created to add foreign key constraints.

Generate Models

php artisan reversify:models

• Creates Eloquent models for all tables (except ignored ones).
• Includes configurable attributes like fillable, guarded, casts, relationships, and lifecycle hooks.

Generate Controllers

php artisan reversify:controllers

• Generates basic CRUD resource controllers for each table.
• Controllers are placed in the app/Http/Controllers directory.

Generate All Components

php artisan reversify:generate

• Runs reversify:migrations, reversify:models, and reversify:controllers sequentially.

            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->timestamps();
            $table->softDeletes();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {

class User extends Model
{
    use HasFactory, SoftDeletes, Loggable;

    protected static function booted()
    {
        static::creating(function ($model) {
            $model->created_by = auth()->id();
            $model->created_at = now();
        });
        static::updating(function ($model) {
            $model->updated_by = auth()->id();
        });
    }
}

Controller File

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $validated = $request->validate([
            // Define validation rules here
        ]);

        $model = User::create($validated);

        return response()->json($model, 201);
