Create Multiple Models in one command

[ousid]

I have been thinking lately on this idea, and on creating a PR for it, if it's fit.

Creating Multiple Models in one command like:

php artisan make:model Product Order Invoice

With this it creates the following model all at once, and maybe can add flags --all or --controller ...etc. It creates each file for each model.

The question is: Is it a good Idea to create a PR for it, or it's just a waste of time?

Hints on this, would be much appreciated.

It's a good idea for a PR but probably it will be rejected for adding unnecessary complexity to the command.

You could use bash for achieve the same results:

Using the flag --all:

for name in {Product,Order,Invoice}; do php artisan make:model -a "$name"; done

Or using the flags --migration, --factory, --seed and --controller:

for name in {Product,Order,Invoice}; do php artisan make:model -m -f -s -c "$name"; done

Alternatively you could create a package to offer this functionality, with a different make command:

php artisan make:models --all Product Order Invoice

Hey, @chuckrincon

I created a package to create multiple models as mentioned above, give it a look.
I'll be happy if there are any notes :)
thanks.

Thanks, @chuckrincon for your detailed answer.

Yeah, the package idea would be great, instead of adding complexity to the command itself, especially the newcomers.

I'll work on a package as soon as I can.
