php-artisan: Generate a new Eloquent model class with a migration, factory and resource controller.
$ php artisan make:model ${ModelName} --all
try on your machine
This command is used in the Laravel framework for generating a new model class file with all necessary components. Let's break it down:
php artisan
: This is the command to interact with Laravel's artisan command-line interface, which provides various commands for managing your Laravel application.make:model
: This is the command to create a new model class file.${ModelName}
: This is a placeholder value that you need to replace with the name of the model you want to create. It should be in CamelCase format, e.g.,User
,Post
, etc.--all
: This is an option that tells Laravel to generate all the common components associated with a model. When included, Laravel will create a migration file, a factory class, and a seeder class in addition to the model class file.
By running this command, Laravel will generate the following files:
${ModelName}.php
: The model class file itself, located in theapp/
directory.${ModelName}Factory.php
: A factory class file associated with this model, which can be used to generate fake data for testing purposes. Located in thedatabase/factories/
directory.${ModelName}Seeder.php
: A seeder class file associated with this model, which can be used to seed (populate) the model's related database table with initial data. Located in thedatabase/seeders/
directory.${timestamp}_create_${table_name}_table.php
: A migration file containing a skeleton for creating a new database table associated with this model.${timestamp}
is the current timestamp appended to the migration file name, and${table_name}
is the pluralized, snake_case version of the model name. The migration file is located in thedatabase/migrations/
directory.
These generated files provide a starting point for working with the model, as well as preparing the necessary database structure for storing data related to this model.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
