Customize Artisan Code Generators with stub:publish

Publish and customize Artisan generator stubs using php artisan stub:publish to enforce custom code conventions across your team.

Standard php artisan make:controller or make:model commands generate default framework templates.

Running stub:publish exports these blueprint files to a local stubs/ directory, allowing you to enforce project-specific conventions automatically.

1. Publish Stubs

php artisan stub:publish

This exports all generator stubs into your application root's stubs/ directory.

2. Customize Templates (e.g. stubs/model.stub)

Edit any stub file to enforce strict types, default properties, or custom traits:

<?php

namespace {{ namespace }};

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class {{ class }} extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    // Enforce un-guarded models by default across the team
    protected $guarded = [];
}

Key Benefits

• Team Consistency: Every developer running make:model or make:controller receives the standardized company template.
• Zero Friction: Automatically picked up by Artisan without requiring any custom command flags or configuration files.
