Create Laravel Project
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel tarmizi-packages-dev
Create Package Structure
create packages/samtarmizi/greeting/src folder on tarmizi-packages-dev's folder
Create Package Info
cd packages/samtarmizi/greeting
run composer init
Package composer.json
{

},

Run composer dump-autoload
Create Class
<?php
namespace Samtarmizi\Greeting;
class Greeting
{
public function greet(String $sName)
{
return 'Hi ' . $sName . '! How are you doing today?';
}
TEST it using route at web.php
use Samtarmizi\Greeting\Greeting;
Route::get('/greet/{name}', function($sName) {
$oGreetr = new Greeting();
return $oGreetr->greet($sName);
});
Service Provider
Create Service Provider
Simply create a GreetingServiceProvider.php class inside src folder. Don’t forget to use namespace based on vendor that we’ve created before
Add Package Service Provider
to config/app.php
/*
* Package Service Providers...
*/
Samtarmizi\Greeting\GreetingServiceProvider::class,
create a routes/web.php inside our package so we can access it using our browser
<?php
Route::get('greeting', function () {
return 'Hi, this is your awesome package!';
});
Then we have to load our route into boot() method in service provider we’ve created before.
public function boot()
{
$this->loadRoutesFrom(__DIR__.'/routes/web.php');
}
Navigate your browser to APP_URL/greeting. You should see “Hi, this is your awesome package!” as an output
Controller instead closure
Placing our code directly into route file is not a best practice. Since we want to modular and separating concern, we could create controller file to do logic for our functionality.
Create Controller
Create GreetingController.php then create a greeting() function
Use controller at route
Modify our route to use controller instead closure function.
Route::get('greeting', 'Samtarmizi\Greeting\Controllers\GreetingController@greeting');
Use view on controller
Creating view
Create views/greeting.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Tarmizi Sanusi</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="text-align:center">
<span style="font-weight:normal">This is greeting package</span>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
Load into boot() method
public function boot()
{
$this->loadRoutesFrom(__DIR__.'/routes/web.php');
$this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/views', 'Greeting');
}
Second argument inside loadViewsFrom() method is a namespace for your view. This is necessary since we need to differentiate views from other packages.
Calling view
in greeting() method inside controller
public function greeting()
{
return view('Greeting::greeting');
}
Greeting is namespace and greeting is greeting.blade.php
