|
|
This package contains a `PackageServiceProvider` that you can use in your packages to easily register config files,
|
|
migrations, and more.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how it can be used.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\PackageServiceProvider;
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Package;
|
|
use MyPackage\ViewComponents\Alert;
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Commands\InstallCommand;
|
|
|
|
class YourPackageServiceProvider extends PackageServiceProvider
|
|
{
|
|
public function configurePackage(Package $package): void
|
|
{
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasConfigFile()
|
|
->hasViews()
|
|
->hasViewComponent('spatie', Alert::class)
|
|
->hasViewComposer('*', MyViewComposer::class)
|
|
->sharesDataWithAllViews('downloads', 3)
|
|
->hasTranslations()
|
|
->hasAssets()
|
|
->publishesServiceProvider('MyProviderName')
|
|
->hasRoute('web')
|
|
->hasMigration('create_package_tables')
|
|
->hasCommand(YourCoolPackageCommand::class)
|
|
->hasInstallCommand(function(InstallCommand $command) {
|
|
$command
|
|
->publishConfigFile()
|
|
->publishAssets()
|
|
->publishMigrations()
|
|
->copyAndRegisterServiceProviderInApp()
|
|
->askToStarRepoOnGitHub();
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Under the hood it will do the necessary work to register the necessary things and make all sorts of files publishable.

|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
This package is opinionated on how you should structure your package. To get started easily, consider
|
|
using [our package-skeleton repo](https://github.com/spatie/package-skeleton-laravel) to start your package. The
|
|
skeleton is structured perfectly to work perfectly with the `PackageServiceProvider` in this package.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
In your package you should let your service provider extend `Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\PackageServiceProvider`.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\PackageServiceProvider;
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Package;
|
|
|
|
class YourPackageServiceProvider extends PackageServiceProvider
|
|
{
|
|
public function configurePackage(Package $package) : void
|
|
{
|
|
$package->name('your-package-name');
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Passing the package name to `name` is mandatory.
|
|
|
|
### Working with a config file
|
|
|
|
To register a config file, you should create a php file with your package name in the `config` directory of your
|
|
package. In this example it should be at `<package root>/config/your-package-name.php`.
|
|
|
|
If your package name starts with `laravel-`, we expect that your config file does not contain that prefix. So if your
|
|
package name is `laravel-cool-package`, the config file should be named `cool-package.php`.
|
|
|
|
To register that config file, call `hasConfigFile()` on `$package` in the `configurePackage` method.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasConfigFile();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `hasConfigFile` method will also make the config file publishable. Users of your package will be able to publish the
|
|
config file with this command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Should your package have multiple config files, you can pass their names as an array to `hasConfigFile`
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasConfigFile(['my-config-file', 'another-config-file']);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with views
|
|
|
|
Any views your package provides, should be placed in the `<package root>/resources/views` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can register these views with the `hasViews` command.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasViews();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will register your views with Laravel.
|
|
|
|
If you have a view `<package root>/resources/views/myView.blade.php`, you can use it like
|
|
this: `view('your-package-name::myView')`. Of course, you can also use subdirectories to organise your views. A view
|
|
located at `<package root>/resources/views/subdirectory/myOtherView.blade.php` can be used
|
|
with `view('your-package-name::subdirectory.myOtherView')`.
|
|
|
|
#### Using a custom view namespace
|
|
|
|
You can pass a custom view namespace to the `hasViews` method.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasViews('custom-view-namespace');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now use the views of the package like this:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
view('custom-view-namespace::myView');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Publishing the views
|
|
|
|
Calling `hasViews` will also make views publishable. Users of your package will be able to publish the views with this
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-views
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
>
|
|
> If you use custom view namespace then you should change your publish command like this:
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=custom-view-namespace-views
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sharing global data with views
|
|
|
|
You can share data with all views using the `sharesDataWithAllViews` method. This will make the shared variable
|
|
available to all views.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->sharesDataWithAllViews('companyName', 'Spatie');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with Blade view components
|
|
|
|
Any Blade view components that your package provides should be placed in the `<package root>/src/Components` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can register these views with the `hasViewComponents` command.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasViewComponents('spatie', Alert::class);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will register your view components with Laravel. In the case of `Alert::class`, it can be referenced in views
|
|
as `<x-spatie-alert />`, where `spatie` is the prefix you provided during registration.
|
|
|
|
Calling `hasViewComponents` will also make view components publishable, and will be published
|
|
to `app/Views/Components/vendor/<package name>`.
|
|
|
|
Users of your package will be able to publish the view components with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-components
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with view composers
|
|
|
|
You can register any view composers that your project uses with the `hasViewComposers` method. You may also register a
|
|
callback that receives a `$view` argument instead of a classname.
|
|
|
|
To register a view composer with all views, use an asterisk as the view name `'*'`.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasViewComposer('viewName', MyViewComposer::class)
|
|
->hasViewComposer('*', function($view) {
|
|
$view->with('sharedVariable', 123);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with inertia components
|
|
|
|
Any `.vue` or `.jsx` files your package provides, should be placed in the `<package root>/resources/js/Pages` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can register these components with the `hasInertiaComponents` command.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasInertiaComponents();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will register your components with Laravel.
|
|
|
|
The user should publish the inertia components manually or using the [installer-command](#adding-an-installer-command) in order to use them.
|
|
|
|
If you have an inertia component `<package root>/resources/js/Pages/myComponent.vue`, you can use it like
|
|
this: `Inertia::render('YourPackageName/myComponent')`. Of course, you can also use subdirectories to organise your components.
|
|
|
|
#### Publishing inertia components
|
|
|
|
Calling `hasInertiaComponents` will also make inertia components publishable. Users of your package will be able to publish the views with this
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-inertia-components
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also, the inertia components are available in a convenient way with your package [installer-command](#adding-an-installer-command)
|
|
|
|
### Working with translations
|
|
|
|
Any translations your package provides, should be placed in the `<package root>/resources/lang/<language-code>`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
You can register these translations with the `hasTranslations` command.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasTranslations();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will register the translations with Laravel.
|
|
|
|
Assuming you save this translation file at `<package root>/resources/lang/en/translations.php`...
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
return [
|
|
'translatable' => 'translation',
|
|
];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... your package and users will be able to retrieve the translation with:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
trans('your-package-name::translations.translatable'); // returns 'translation'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your package name starts with `laravel-` then you should leave that off in the example above.
|
|
|
|
Coding with translation strings as keys, you should create JSON files
|
|
in `<package root>/resources/lang/<language-code>.json`.
|
|
|
|
For example, creating `<package root>/resources/lang/it.json` file like so:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Hello!": "Ciao!"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...the output of...
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
trans('Hello!');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...will be `Ciao!` if the application uses the Italian language.
|
|
|
|
Calling `hasTranslations` will also make translations publishable. Users of your package will be able to publish the
|
|
translations with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-translations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with assets
|
|
|
|
Any assets your package provides, should be placed in the `<package root>/resources/dist/` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can make these assets publishable the `hasAssets` method.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasAssets();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Users of your package will be able to publish the assets with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-assets
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will copy over the assets to the `public/vendor/<your-package-name>` directory in the app where your package is
|
|
installed in.
|
|
|
|
### Working with migrations
|
|
|
|
The `PackageServiceProvider` assumes that any migrations are placed in this
|
|
directory: `<package root>/database/migrations`. Inside that directory you can put any migrations.
|
|
|
|
To register your migration, you should pass its name without the extension to the `hasMigration` table.
|
|
|
|
If your migration file is called `create_my_package_tables.php.stub` you can register them like this:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasMigration('create_my_package_tables');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Should your package contain multiple migration files, you can just call `hasMigration` multiple times or
|
|
use `hasMigrations`.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasMigrations(['my_package_tables', 'some_other_migration']);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Calling `hasMigration` will also make migrations publishable. Users of your package will be able to publish the
|
|
migrations with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-migrations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Like you might expect, published migration files will be prefixed with the current datetime.
|
|
|
|
You can also enable the migrations to be registered without needing the users of your package to publish them:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasMigrations(['my_package_tables', 'some_other_migration'])
|
|
->runsMigrations();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with a publishable service provider
|
|
|
|
Some packages need an example service provider to be copied into the `app\Providers` directory of the Laravel app. Think
|
|
of for instance, the `laravel/horizon` package that copies an `HorizonServiceProvider` into your app with some sensible
|
|
defaults.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->publishesServiceProvider($nameOfYourServiceProvider);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The file that will be copied to the app should be stored in your package
|
|
in `/resources/stubs/{$nameOfYourServiceProvider}.php.stub`.
|
|
|
|
When your package is installed into an app, running this command...
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=your-package-name-provider
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... will copy `/resources/stubs/{$nameOfYourServiceProvider}.php.stub` in your package
|
|
to `app/Providers/{$nameOfYourServiceProvider}.php` in the app of the user.
|
|
|
|
### Registering commands
|
|
|
|
You can register any command you package provides with the `hasCommand` function.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasCommand(YourCoolPackageCommand::class);
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
If your package provides multiple commands, you can either use `hasCommand` multiple times, or pass an array
|
|
to `hasCommands`
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasCommands([
|
|
YourCoolPackageCommand::class,
|
|
YourOtherCoolPackageCommand::class,
|
|
]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Adding an installer command
|
|
|
|
Instead of letting your users manually publishing config files, migrations, and other files manually, you could opt to
|
|
add an install command that does all this work in one go. Packages like Laravel Horizon and Livewire provide such
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
When using Laravel Package Tools, you don't have to write an `InstallCommand` yourself. Instead, you can simply
|
|
call, `hasInstallCommand` and configure it using a closure. Here's an example.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\PackageServiceProvider;
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Package;
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Commands\InstallCommand;
|
|
|
|
class YourPackageServiceProvider extends PackageServiceProvider
|
|
{
|
|
public function configurePackage(Package $package): void
|
|
{
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasConfigFile()
|
|
->hasMigration('create_package_tables')
|
|
->publishesServiceProvider('MyServiceProviderName')
|
|
->hasInstallCommand(function(InstallCommand $command) {
|
|
$command
|
|
->publishConfigFile()
|
|
->publishAssets()
|
|
->publishMigrations()
|
|
->askToRunMigrations()
|
|
->copyAndRegisterServiceProviderInApp()
|
|
->askToStarRepoOnGitHub('your-vendor/your-repo-name')
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With this in place, the package user can call this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
php artisan your-package-name:install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the code above, that command will:
|
|
|
|
- publish the config file
|
|
- publish the assets
|
|
- publish the migrations
|
|
- copy the `/resources/stubs/MyProviderName.php.stub` from your package to `app/Providers/MyServiceProviderName.php`, and also register that
|
|
provider in `config/app.php`
|
|
- ask if migrations should be run now
|
|
- prompt the user to open up `https://github.com/'your-vendor/your-repo-name'` in the browser in order to star it
|
|
|
|
You can also call `startWith` and `endWith` on the `InstallCommand`. They will respectively be executed at the start and
|
|
end when running `php artisan your-package-name:install`. You can use this to perform extra work or display extra
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Spatie\LaravelPackageTools\Commands\InstallCommand;
|
|
|
|
public function configurePackage(Package $package): void
|
|
{
|
|
$package
|
|
// ... configure package
|
|
->hasInstallCommand(function(InstallCommand $command) {
|
|
$command
|
|
->startWith(function(InstallCommand $command) {
|
|
$command->info('Hello, and welcome to my great new package!');
|
|
})
|
|
->publishConfigFile()
|
|
->publishAssets()
|
|
->publishMigrations()
|
|
->askToRunMigrations()
|
|
->copyAndRegisterServiceProviderInApp()
|
|
->askToStarRepoOnGitHub('your-vendor/your-repo-name')
|
|
->endWith(function(InstallCommand $command) {
|
|
$command->info('Have a great day!');
|
|
})
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with routes
|
|
|
|
The `PackageServiceProvider` assumes that any route files are placed in this directory: `<package root>/routes`. Inside
|
|
that directory you can put any route files.
|
|
|
|
To register your route, you should pass its name without the extension to the `hasRoute` method.
|
|
|
|
If your route file is called `web.php` you can register them like this:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasRoute('web');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Should your package contain multiple route files, you can just call `hasRoute` multiple times or use `hasRoutes`.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$package
|
|
->name('your-package-name')
|
|
->hasRoutes(['web', 'admin']);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using lifecycle hooks
|
|
|
|
You can put any custom logic your package needs while starting up in one of these methods:
|
|
|
|
- `registeringPackage`: will be called at the start of the `register` method of `PackageServiceProvider`
|
|
- `packageRegistered`: will be called at the end of the `register` method of `PackageServiceProvider`
|
|
- `bootingPackage`: will be called at the start of the `boot` method of `PackageServiceProvider`
|
|
- `packageBooted`: will be called at the end of the `boot` method of `PackageServiceProvider`
|
|
|
|
