Laravel Package CLI

#Laravel Package CLI

Scaffold new open-source Laravel packages with git already configured, built with Laravel Zero. Fully non-interactive — every input is an argument or a flag, so it's meant to be driven by an AI agent (e.g. Claude Code's laravel-package-creator skill) as much as by a human.

Tests Total Downloads License PHP 8.2+

#What it does

laravel-package create vendor/package "Description" generates the mechanical, repeatable part of a new Spatie-style Laravel package:

  • Directory skeleton (src/, config/, database/migrations/, resources/lang/{en,pt_BR}/, tests/, art/, .github/workflows/)
  • composer.json with spatie/laravel-package-tools, Pest, Larastan, Pint wired up
  • Service Provider (PackageServiceProvider) and Facade stubs
  • phpstan.neon.dist, phpunit.xml.dist, .editorconfig, .gitattributes, .gitignore, LICENSE.md, CHANGELOG.md, README.md
  • CI workflows: tests.yml, pint.yml, phpstan.yml, update-changelog.yml
  • git init, first commit on main

It deliberately does not write the package's actual logic (Service Provider bindings, config values, README body, tests, banner) — that's judgment work left to whoever (human or agent) is building the package on top of this scaffold.

#Requirements

  • PHP 8.2+
  • Git

#Installation

composer global require jeffersongoncalves/laravel-package-cli

Or clone and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/jeffersongoncalves/laravel-package-cli.git
cd laravel-package-cli
composer install
php laravel-package app:build laravel-package

#Usage

laravel-package create vendor/package [description] [options]

#Arguments

Argument Required Description
vendor-package yes vendor/package slug, e.g. jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep. Split on / to derive vendor, package, namespace (Vendor\Package), Service Provider name, Facade name, and config/<package>.php filename.
description no Short one-line package description. Used in composer.json and the generated README.md. Defaults to empty string when omitted.

#Options

Option Description
--path=DIR Target directory to scaffold into. Default: ./<package> under the current working directory.
--namespace=NS PSR-4 root namespace override, e.g. "JeffersonGoncalves\PostHog". Its last segment also drives the Service Provider, Facade and README title. Defaults to <VendorRoot>\<StudlyName> (see below) — pass it whenever the name's casing isn't a plain studly of the slug (posthog → Posthog, never PostHog).
--keywords=LIST Comma-separated composer.json keywords. Default: laravel,<package>.
--require=LIST Extra runtime dependencies, comma-separated name:constraint. When any illuminate/* entry is given, the default illuminate/contracts is dropped so it isn't dragged in alongside.
--author="Name" Author name for composer.json and LICENSE.md. Default: git config user.name, falling back to Jefferson Gonçalves if unset.
--email=EMAIL Author email for composer.json. Default: git config user.email.
--no-git Skip git init and the first commit — scaffold files only.
--dry-run Print the planned file list (write vs. skip-if-exists) without writing anything or touching git.

Every argument/option is designed for scripted, non-interactive invocation — no prompts are ever shown.

#Examples

Basic package, everything defaulted (author/email from git config, written to ./laravel-cep):

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP (postal code) lookup for Laravel"

No description (left blank in composer.json/README):

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep

Custom target directory:

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP lookup for Laravel" --path=/d/PROJETOS/jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep

Explicit author/email (overrides git config, e.g. CI or a different identity):

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP lookup for Laravel" \
  --author="Jefferson Gonçalves" \
  --email=jeffersongoncalves@gmail.com

#Namespace

The laravel- prefix is dropped, mirroring spatie/laravel-package-tools' shortName() — which is also what names the published config file.

Package Namespace Classes Config
jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep JeffersonGoncalves\Cep CepServiceProvider, Facades\Cep config/cep.php
acme/laravel-widget Acme\Widget WidgetServiceProvider, Facades\Widget config/widget.php

Both halves are studly-cased, which cannot see camel-case boundaries inside a single lowercase word (jeffersongoncalves → Jeffersongoncalves, posthog → Posthog). Teach it once in ~/.package/vendornamespace.json, shared with filament-plugin-cli:

{
    "jeffersongoncalves": "JeffersonGoncalves",
    "posthog": "PostHog"
}

With those two entries, jeffersongoncalves/laravel-posthog derives JeffersonGoncalves\PostHog (and PostHogServiceProvider, Facades\PostHog, config/posthog.php) with no flags at all. Lookups are per whole slug and case-insensitive; unlisted slugs fall back to studly. See laravel-zero-package-scaffold for the file's full contract.

--namespace remains for one-offs you don't want in the shared file.

Explicit namespace casing, keywords and dependencies (nothing the slug can reveal):

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-posthog "PHP/Laravel client for the PostHog API" \
  --namespace="JeffersonGoncalves\PostHog" \
  --keywords="laravel,posthog,analytics,feature-flags" \
  --require="illuminate/http:^12.0|^13.0,illuminate/support:^12.0|^13.0"

Scaffold files only, no git repo (e.g. dropping into an already-initialized repo):

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP lookup for Laravel" --no-git

Preview what would be created without writing anything:

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP lookup for Laravel" --dry-run

Full invocation, all options combined:

laravel-package create jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep "Brazilian CEP lookup for Laravel" \
  --path=/d/PROJETOS/jeffersongoncalves/laravel-cep \
  --namespace="JeffersonGoncalves\Cep" \
  --keywords="laravel,cep,correios" \
  --require="illuminate/http:^12.0|^13.0" \
  --author="Jefferson Gonçalves" \
  --email=jeffersongoncalves@gmail.com \
  --no-git \
  --dry-run
