Module Resources - v12 - Laravel Modules Package

Your module will most likely contain what laravel calls resources, those contain configuration, views, translation files, etc.

In order for your module to correctly load and if wanted to publish them you need to let laravel know about them as in any regular package.

Note Those resources are loaded in the service provider generated with a module (using module:make), unless the plain flag is used, in which case you will need to handle this logic yourself.

Note Don't forget to change the paths, in the following code snippets a "Blog" module is assumed.

#Configuration

Copied!

$this->publishes([
    __DIR__.'/../config/config.php' => config_path('blog.php'),
], 'config');
$this->mergeConfigFrom(
    __DIR__.'/../config/config.php', 'blog'
);

$this->publishes([
    __DIR__.'/../config/config.php' => config_path('blog.php'),
], 'config');
$this->mergeConfigFrom(
    __DIR__.'/../config/config.php', 'blog'
);

#Views

Copied!

$viewPath = base_path('resources/views/modules/blog');
 
$sourcePath = __DIR__.'/../resources/views';
 
$this->publishes([
    $sourcePath => $viewPath
]);
 
$this->loadViewsFrom(array_merge(array_map(function ($path) {
    return $path . '/modules/blog';
}, \Config::get('view.paths')), [$sourcePath]), 'blog');

$viewPath = base_path('resources/views/modules/blog');

$sourcePath = __DIR__.'/../resources/views';

$this->publishes([
    $sourcePath => $viewPath
]);

$this->loadViewsFrom(array_merge(array_map(function ($path) {
    return $path . '/modules/blog';
}, \Config::get('view.paths')), [$sourcePath]), 'blog');

The main part here is the loadViewsFrom method call. If you don't want your views to be published to the laravel views folder, you can remove the call to the $this->publishes() call.

#Language files

Copied!

 $langPath = base_path('resources/lang/modules/blog');
 
if (is_dir($langPath)) {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom($langPath, 'blog');
} else {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__ .'/../lang', 'blog');
}

 $langPath = base_path('resources/lang/modules/blog');

if (is_dir($langPath)) {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom($langPath, 'blog');
} else {
    $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__ .'/../lang', 'blog');
}

use in blade {{ __(blog::foo) }} will searched in:
/lang/modules/en/foo.php
/Modules/Blog/lang/en/foo.php

#Factories

If you want to use laravel factories you will have to add the following in your service provider:

Copied!

$this->app->singleton(Factory::class, function () {
    return Factory::construct(__DIR__ . '/database/factories');
});

$this->app->singleton(Factory::class, function () {
    return Factory::construct(__DIR__ . '/database/factories');
});
