Command availables

• Generate transformers with attributes.
• Generate CRUD API controller with models supplied.

Suggestion

• As per said you still need to setup database manually for attributes else you already have existing database structure might be can use this package. https://github.com/reliese/laravel. Its help you to generate model based on existing database.

Generate transformer based on models

php artisan make:transformer ExampleUserTransformer -m User

This command will find attributes inside current table based on those models and put it into transformer.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Transformers;

use App\Entity\User;
use League\Fractal\TransformerAbstract;

class ExampleUserTransformer extends TransformerAbstract
{
    public function transform(User $user)
    {
        return [

            'id'               => $user->id,
            'company_id'       => $user->company_id,
            'first_name'       => $user->first_name,
            'last_name'        => $user->last_name,
            'email'            => $user->email,
            'password'         => $user->password,
            'mobile'           => $user->mobile,
            'activated'        => $user->activated,
            'first_time_login' => $user->first_time_login,
            'login_counter'    => $user->login_counter,
            'avatar'           => $user->avatar,
            'remember_token'   => $user->remember_token,
            'created_at'       => $user->created_at,
            'updated_at'       => $user->updated_at,
        ];
    }
}

Eg: Generated tranformer based on model

We have models and transformer and now we need some controller with CRUD operation into it.

Generating API controller can be done using this command and don't forget to supply transformer and model into it and its will be use as default transformer in that controller.

php artisan api:crud Products/ManageProductController -m User -t ExampleUserTransformer

Specify version

php artisan api:crud Products/ManageProductController -m User -t ExampleUserTransformer --api-version=v1

Result generated controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

use App\Entity\User;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Transformers\UserTransformer;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ExampleApiUserController extends Controller
{

    /**
     * model
     * @var [type]

    private $user;


    public function __construct(User $user)
