Generators

Scaffolding flow for models, services, controllers, migrations, and scenarios.

Generators

Scaffold generators keep runtime and repository structure consistent.

Typical flow

1. make:model
2. make:migration
3. make:controller
4. make:service
5. make:scenario --mongo or --test

What each generator produces

make:model

Creates a model class under:

• src/app/models/<Name>.ts
• or src/test/database/models/<Name>.ts with --test

Typical outcome:

• table name
• connection name
• schema skeleton
• relation examples
• validation hooks and model events stubs

make:controller

Creates:

• src/app/controllers/<Name>Controller.ts
• or src/test/controllers/<Name>Controller.ts

Generated CRUD methods:

• index
• show
• store
• update
• destroy

With --soft, also generates:

• restore

make:service

Creates:

• src/app/services/<Name>Service.ts
• or src/test/services/<Name>Service.ts

Generated CRUD methods:

• all
• find
• create
• update
• delete
• restore

make:scenario

Creates coordinated app or test artifacts for a full preset:

• models
• factories
• migrations
• seeders
• optional controllers
• optional services

Best practice

Generate in stages and run generated code through tests before committing.

Use next:

• Controllers
• Services
