How to configure crudmaker to generate controllers as single names rather than plural?

[Shabaz Ejaz]

Lets say I have the following command:

php artisan crudmaker:new Book --api --migration --schema="id:increments,title:string,author:string"

When I run this command it generates the following files:

app/Http/Controllers/Api/BooksController.php
app/Http/Controllers/BooksController.php
app/Http/Requests/BookCreateRequest.php
app/Http/Requests/BookUpdateRequest.php
app/Models/Book/Book.php
app/Services/BookService.php
resources/views/books/create.blade.php
resources/views/books/edit.blade.php
resources/views/books/index.blade.php
resources/views/books/show.blade.php
database/migrations/create_books_table.php
tests/BookIntegrationTest.php
tests/BookServiceTest.php

Notice the first Api Controller: app/Http/Controllers/Api/BooksController.php

Why is it creating the controllers in the plural form? How do I change this so it uses single naming convention for controllers?

Here is my config file:

<?php
return [
    'template_source'            => app()->basePath().'/resources/crudmaker',

    'single' => [
        '_path_facade_'              => app()->path().'/Facades',
        '_path_service_'             => app()->path().'/Services',
        '_path_model_'               => app()->path().'/Models',
        '_path_controller_'          => app()->path().'/Http/Controllers/',
        '_path_api_controller_'      => app()->path().'/Http/Controllers/Api',
        '_path_views_'               => app()->basePath().'/resources/views',

        '_path_request_'             => app()->path().'/Http/Requests/',
        '_path_routes_'              => app()->basePath().'/routes/web.php',
        '_path_api_routes_'          => app()->basePath().'/routes/api.php',
        'routes_prefix'              => '',
        'routes_suffix'              => '',
        '_app_namespace_'            => app_namespace(),
        '_namespace_services_'       => app_namespace().'Services',

        '_namespace_api_controller_' => app_namespace().'Http\Controllers\Api',
        '_namespace_request_'        => app_namespace().'Http\Requests',
    ],

    'sectioned' => [
        '_path_facade_'              => app()->path().'/Facades',
        '_path_service_'             => app()->path().'/Services/_section_',
        '_path_model_'               => app()->path().'/Models/_section_',
        '_path_controller_'          => app()->path().'/Http/Controllers/_section_/',
        '_path_api_controller_'      => app()->path().'/Http/Controllers/Api/_section_/',
        '_path_views_'               => app()->basePath().'/resources/views/_sectionLowerCase_',
        '_path_tests_'               => app()->basePath().'/tests',
        '_path_request_'             => app()->path().'/Http/Requests/_section_',
        '_path_routes_'              => app()->basePath().'/routes/web.php',
        '_path_api_routes_'          => app()->basePath().'/routes/api.php',
        'routes_prefix'              => "\n\nRoute::group(['namespace' => '_section_', 'prefix' => '_sectionLowerCase_', 'as' => '_sectionLowerCase_', 'middleware' => ['web']], function () { \n",
        'routes_suffix'              => "\n});",
        '_app_namespace_'            => app_namespace(),
        '_namespace_services_'       => app_namespace().'Services',
        '_namespace_facade_'         => app_namespace().'Facades',
        '_namespace_model_'          => app_namespace().'Models\_section_',
        '_namespace_controller_'     => app_namespace().'Http\Controllers',
        '_namespace_api_controller_' => app_namespace().'Http\Controllers\Api',
        '_namespace_request_'        => app_namespace().'Http\Requests',
    ],
];

Any updates on this?

Sorry for the delay, you could expand on the config by exploring CrudMaker/src/Services/ConfigService.php:58 where you will see the basicConfig method, you can override all those config methods to remove the pluralizing of Controllers.
