Laravel Artisan Install Command

Introduction

Use this package to define your application's installation steps, so you can deploy your Laravel project more easily.

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require skobel/laravel-install-command

Laravel should automatically discover the service provider.

Quickstart

Follow these steps to get started quickly.

Run the setup command:

php artisan installer:setup

This will create the following files and directories in your app folder:

Installation/
    Steps/
    Configuration.php

In the newly created Configuration.php you can define your installation steps. There are a few default steps available out of the box.

class Configuration extends \Skobel\LaravelInstallCommand\Configuration
{
    public function steps(): array
    {
        return [
            //new CopyDotEnvFile,
            //new GenerateApplicationKey,
            //new RunMigrations,
            //new SeedDatabase,
        ];
    }
}

Begin installation:

php artisan install

Available Steps

Class name	Description
CopyDotEnvFile	Copy .env.example to .env
GenerateApplicationKey	Run php artisan key:generate
RunMigrations	Run your migrations with the --force option
SeedDatabase	Seed your database with the --force option
CreatePassportKeys	Run php artisan passport:keys, use only if you have Laravel Passport installed

Creating Installation Steps

php artisan installer:step StepName

This will generate a Step class with the given name. Next add this Step to your steps array in your configuration:

use App\Installation\Steps\StepName;

class Configuration extends \Skobel\LaravelInstallCommand\Configuration
{
    public function steps(): array
    {
        return [
            // ...
            new StepName,
        ];
    }
}

Custom Configuration and Directory Structure

Of course you can place your configuration class and installation steps wherever you want. After you have your configuration class at a custom location add the following code to your AppServiceProvider's boot method.

use App\Installation\Configuration;

// ...

public function boot()
{
    Installer::use(new Configuration);
}
