make:module

Bootstrap a complete module

Signature: modularous:make:module

Aliases: m:m:m, unusual:make:module

Category: Make

Description

make:module is the primary entry point for creating a new Modularous module. It calls nWidart's module:make to create the folder skeleton, then immediately calls make:route with the same module name to generate the full first-route file set (model, controller, repository, migration, form request, and Vue stubs).

Notes

• make:module wraps module:make (nWidart) + make:route — it does not generate anything itself.
• Pass --system only when adding to the Modularous core; requires a non-production environment.
• Use --just-stubs to fix or refresh stub files after changing the config without re-running migrations.
