Facades can be extremely helpful in Laravel. This package adds a simple command to the CLI to add an easy way to create a new facade.
Use the following command to create a new facade:
php artisan make:facade NameOfFacade
This command creates a file in the folder app/Facades. It also creates a new FacadeServiceProvider.php file and updates this file everytime a new Facade is created.
After creating the first facade, this FacadeServiceProvider should be added to the providers array in config/app.php.
If you want to create a facade called 'Facebook', run the following command:
php artisan make:facade Facebook
This command will perform the following tasks:
- create the file app/Facades/Facebook.php
- create the file app/Providers/FacadeServiceProvider.php if this file does not exists yet
- adds an entry to the FacadeServiceProvider for this facade
You still have to add the FacadeServiceProvider to config/app.php and check if the facade returns the correct class.
Require this package with composer.
composer require eelcol/laravel-make-facade
Laravel 5.5 and up uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.
If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php
Eelcol\LaravelMakeFacade\MakeFacadeServiceProvider::class,
