Version 2 of the TypedCMS Starter Kit for Laravel has been released

This release drops support for Laravel 8 and introduces blueprint scaffolding

This release drops support for Laravel 8 which reached EOL back in January!

Release Notes:

Support for Laravel 8 dropped.
PHPStan and Testbench updated.
New Scaffold command adds support for quickly scaffolding a blueprint's Model, Repository and Controllers.
Models, repositories and resolvers have been moved to the new Starter Kit for PHP (GitHub).

What's all this Scaffolding Business

Scaffolding a blueprint is a simple as running the following command:

php artisan typedcms:scaffold post --collection=latest-posts

Which produces the following files:

- app
  - Http
    - Controllers
      - Posts
        - PostController.php
        - LatestPostsController.php
  - Models
    - Post.php
  - Repositories
    - LatestPostsRepository.php

Pretty easy 'eh? You can have a look at the stubs for their contents.

Future Plans

Wouldn't it be awesome to also generate the blueprint and collection in TypedCMS, assuming they don't already exist that is?

Well, why not; with TypedCMS Management API you can achieve anything you might otherwise use the GUI for.

The upcoming patterns feature means we can generate blueprints with collections and fields conforming to common usage scenarios. Once available, we'll definitely revisit scaffolding with the aim to integrate these patterns.

Watch this space!
