You know how every time you add a new entity to your project, you probably create a Migration, Model, CRUD, and maybe even a Seeder and Factory? And it’s sooo repetitive, boring and error-prone? Well.. we’ve got news for you. We’re putting the final touches on tool to do exactly that, but using… a web interface... crazy, I know.

Let me put it this way… we’ve built a tool where you fill in a form like this:

And it will generate:

  • a Migration
  • a Model (with relationships and fillable)
  • a Seeder
  • a Factory (with faker columns defined)
  • a CrudController
  • a CrudRequest
  • a route
  • a sidebar item

So basically this:

It can do other stuff as well, like… seed those tables. It was a bunch of work, for something that’s only mildly annoying, but it's annoying so many times in literally every project, so… we think it was worth it. We’ve been using it for a few months now and… we can’t go back to building these things manually or using the command-line, ever again. We think you’ll feel the same if you try it out.

It’s currently discounted because it’s in beta - check it out here. We really don’t want to oversell this, but… I think we’re onto something here. I say… check it out.

Cheers!
