   "yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle": "~6.0",
   "mpaleo/view-tags": "~1.0",

   "mpaleo/scaffolder": "~2.0",
   ...
   

3. Update your packages

   composer update
   

4. Add the service providers to the providers array in {laravel-root}\config\app.php

   ...
   ViewTags\ViewTagsServiceProvider::class,
   ScaffolderTheme\ScaffolderThemeServiceProvider::class,
   Scaffolder\ScaffolderServiceProvider::class,
   Yajra\Datatables\DatatablesServiceProvider::class,
   ...

   ...
   'ViewTags'   => ViewTags\ViewTags::class,
   'Form'       => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
   'Html'       => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
   ...
   

Getting started

First you need to publish the configuration files and assets

./artisan vendor:publish --provider="Scaffolder\ScaffolderServiceProvider"
./artisan vendor:publish --provider="ScaffolderTheme\ScaffolderThemeServiceProvider" --force

Here we are using the theme mpaleo/scaffolder-theme-material, but you can fork it, and do whatever you want/need :)

At this point, you already can start to scaffold things. You have two ways to use the package.

Command line way

When you execute the artisan publish command, the service provider creates the folder {laravel-root}\scaffolder-config that has the following structure:

- scaffolder-config
-- app.json
-- models
-- cache

The app.json file contains global settings, also you will get some demo files for models. All you need to scaffold an application is to edit the app.json file, and create the json files for the models you want. After you have all the files ready, you have the following commands:

This command generate the application using the files that you have provided.

./artisan scaffolder:generate

For instance, when you update the package, you should clear the cache files stored in {laravel-root}\scaffolder-config\cache

./artisan scaffolder:cache-clear

User interface way

All you need to do, is go to your http://{crazyhost}/scaffolder/generator and fill some inputs :)
