Quick Install

Install the package via composer:

composer require flatpack/flatpack

Publish the config file and compiled assets:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="flatpack"

Note: To make sure that the public assets are always up-to-date, remember to add this command to the post-update-cmd list in your composer.json file.

  "post-update-cmd": [
      "@php artisan vendor:publish --tag=flatpack"
  ],

Usage

Generating Flatpack composition files for App\Models\Post model...

php artisan make:flatpack Post

This command will create two files:

A form template /flatpack/posts/form.yaml, that defines the posts form.
A list template /flatpack/posts/list.yaml, that defines the posts table with pagination.

Let's check the result, visit /backend/posts.

Now start assembling, grab the generated files and map your model's attributes as you need.
