Create a PowerGrid Table

WARNING

You must have PowerGrid installed and properly configured before proceeding.

Create Command

To create a PowerGrid table, run the following command:

php artisan powergrid:create  

Now, answer the question in your screen to complete the creation process:

1. Enter the name of your PowerGrid Component.

For example: DishTable.

What is the name of your Table Component? (E.g., UserTable) [PowerGridTable]:
 > DishTable

2. Indicate if your component will use a Eloquent Builder, Query Builder or a Collection as data source.

Choose 0 for Eloquent Builder or 1 for Query Builder or 2 for Collection.

This example uses Dish Eloquent Builder, so we choose 0:

What type of data source will you use? [Eloquent Builder]:
  [0] Eloquent Builder
  [1] Query Builder
  [2] Collection
 > 0

3. If you choose Eloquent Builder, enter the path to your Model.

In this example, the Dish Model is located at App\Models\Dish.

If you don't specify App\Models -powergrid will create based on default App\Models directory.

Enter your Builder name or file path (E.g., User or App\Models\User) [User]:
 > User

4. Use Fillable?

PowerGrid can create columns based on your Model's fillable property.

Supported databases are: MySQL, PostgresSQL and SQLite.

If desirable, type yes to use this feature.

If you don't use the 'id' column as the primary key, you should make sure your model is protected $primaryKey = null;

Create columns based on Model's fillable property? (yes/no) [no]:
 > yes

Using Stubs

  • Publish

  • Rename if necessary
  • Use it using --template when creating

Publish command

If you need to create multiple stubs, be sure to rename them before publishing.

php artisan powergrid:publish --type=stub

Create with template

--template=full location of the stub template

php artisan powergrid:create --template=stubs/table.model.stub
                                     // stubs/my-custom-table.stub
