Customizing Generators

[johannesschobel]

Dear @OzanKurt

sorry for spamming issues here, but i thought it would be best to have different issues and not everything in one place ;) Makes it much more easy to answer and - for other users - to follow and search for related issues / terms..

So here is another question:
I would like to customize the existing generators. Specifically, i am not very happy with the folders and namespaces used. I know, they can be customized in the config file but does not allow for placeholders. In my current application, i changed the "typical laravel application structure" to a more "modular structure". More specifically, i build everything around "modules", which encapsulate everything around one main model. Consider, for example, the typical User > Post > Comment application. The structure would look like this:

app/Modules
   /Authentication
   /Comments
   /Posts
   /Users

More specifically, the User module, could look like this:

app/Modules/User
   /Contracts
      /Repositories --> the repository interfaces
   /Data
      /Migrations --> the migration files for this module
      /Factories --> the factory classes for this module
      /Repositories --> the repository classes for this model
   /Models --> the user model and other models that may be important for this module
   /UI
      /Api --> everything related to the api
         /Controllers
         /Requests
         /Routes
         /Transformers
      /Web
         /...
   /Tests
   /Traits

Is it possible to use the defined generators with this folder structure? Furthermore, i don't really like that the EloquentXXXRepository has Eloquent in its name - and would therefore like to remove it.. This would, most likely, result in re-writing the generators of your package, right?

All the best and thanks a lot for your time and effort!

This should be possible as long as a user specifies the pathing in the config for sure, I will check this soon. (Probably in 10 days or so)
