Okay, let’s be honest.
If you’ve built even one Laravel project, you’ve definitely done this:
Create model → migration → controller → form request → add routes
…every. single. time.
It’s boring, right? And kinda repetitive.
Well, good news - here’s a quick Laravel 12 tip to save your time (and sanity):
Let’s make an Artisan command that generates all the basic CRUD stuff for you in one go.
What This Command Does
You give it a name like:
<pre><code> php artisan make:crud Product
</code></pre>
And it’ll auto-generate:
<ul>
<li>A Model</li>
<li>A Migration</li>
<li>A Controller (resource-style)</li>
<li>A Form Request</li>
<li>And even add the route for you</li>
</ul>
No more copy-paste or switching between 5 terminal commands. One and done.
<h1>Step 1: Make the Command</h1>
<h3>Run this:</h3>
<pre><code> php artisan make:command GenerateCrud
</code></pre>
<h1>Step 2: Add the Logic</h1>
<h3>Open up app/Console/Commands/GenerateCrud.php and drop this in:</h3>
<pre><code> &lt;?PHP

 namespace App\Console\Commands;

 use Illuminate\Console\Command;
 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
 use Illuminate\Support\Str;

 class GenerateCrud extends Command
 { 
 protected $signature = &#x27;make:crud {name}&#x27;;
 protected $description = &#x27;Quickly generate CRUD files&#x27;;

 public function handle(): void
 {
 $name = Str::studly($this-&gt;argument(&#x27;name&#x27;));
 $table = Str::snake(Str::plural($name));
 $controller = &quot;{$name}Controller&quot;;
 $request = &quot;{$name}Request&quot;;

 // Create model + migration
 $this-&gt;call(&#x27;make:model&#x27;, [&#x27;name&#x27; =&gt; $name, &#x27;--migration&#x27; =&gt; true]);

 // Controller (resource style)
 $this-&gt;call(&#x27;make:controller&#x27;, [
 &#x27;name&#x27; =&gt; $controller,
 &#x27;--resource&#x27; =&gt; true,
 &#x27;--model&#x27; =&gt; $name,
 ]);

 // Form request
 $this-&gt;call(&#x27;make:request&#x27;, [&#x27;name&#x27; =&gt; $request]);

 // Route
 $route = &quot;Route::resource(&#x27;&quot; . Str::kebab(Str::plural($name)) . &quot;&#x27;, \\App\\Http\\Controllers\\$controller::class);&quot;;
 File::append(base_path(&#x27;routes/web.php&#x27;), &quot;\n&quot; . $route);

 $this-&gt;info(&quot;All done! CRUD for {$name} created.&quot;);
 }
 }
</code></pre>
<h1>Step 3: Register It</h1>
<h3>In app/Console/Kernel.php, register the command:</h3>
<pre><code> protected $commands = [
 \App\Console\Commands\GenerateCrud::class,
 ];
</code></pre>
<h1>Step 4: Use It!</h1>
<pre><code> php artisan make:crud Blog
</code></pre>
<h3>Done. You’ve got:</h3>
<ul>
<li>app/Models/Blog.php</li>
<li>BlogController.php</li>
<li>BlogRequest.php</li>
<li>create_blogs_table migration</li>
<li>Route in routes/web.php</li>
</ul>
<h3>Extra Sauce (Optional)</h3>
Want to take it further?
<ul>
<li>Auto-generate Blade views too (index, create, etc.)</li>
<li>Add API version ( - api)</li>
<li>Include soft deletes or timestamps</li>
</ul>
<h1>Final Thoughts</h1>
Laravel 12 gives you the tools. But building a dev-friendly workflow? That’s on us.
This CRUD generator command is a small thing - but it makes a big impact. It saves time, keeps your structure consistent, and lets you focus on what matters: building features, not boilerplate.
Whether you’re a solo dev or part of a team, this trick adds serious value to your Laravel toolbox.
If you found this helpful, consider:
<ul>
<li>Bookmarking this page for future projects</li>
<li>Sharing it with your Laravel developer group or team</li>
<li>Commenting if you want an advanced version (like generating Blade views or API-only resources)</li>
</ul>
Thanks for reading, and happy coding!
