Scaffolding New Extensions

🏠 Extension Generator - Quickly create new extensions with boilerplate code

The package provides powerful scaffolding tools to generate extension boilerplate with customizable templates.

🛠️ Programmatic API

Use the ExtensionBuilder to generate extensions programmatically:

use Gigabait93\Extensions\Scaffolding\ExtensionBuilder;

// Get available extension types and stub groups
$availableTypes = ExtensionBuilder::getAvailableTypes();
$availableGroups = ExtensionBuilder::getAvailableStubGroups();

// Build extension
$builder = app(ExtensionBuilder::class);
$result = $builder
    ->withType('Modules')
    ->withName('Blog')
    ->withBasePath(base_path('extensions'))
    ->withGroups(['providers', 'config', 'routes'])
    ->build();

// Check result
echo "Extension created at: " . $result['path'];
echo "Namespace: " . $result['namespace'];
echo "Files created: " . count($result['files']);
