Laravel artisan commands for Generators

I got sometime to play with laravel’s new version 5.1. There are lots of artisan commands for productivity and creating a code stub of laravel components from the command line.

I’m going to discuss make commands that generate a file in the laravel application with basic code stub

We can see all make command in the make section of the artisan command list:

  php artisan list

Generate a command class

  php artisan make:command nameofcommand

This command will generate new command file at app/Commands/nameofcommand.php

Generate a console command class

  php artisan make:console nameofclass

This command will generate new console command file at app/Console/Commands/nameofclass.php

  php artisan make:controller mycontroller

This command will generate new resource controller file at app/Http/Controllers/mycontroller.php
