Scaffolding a CRUD Resource

php artisan make:crud User

You will be prompted for the model class, pre-filled with a guess based on the resource name (e.g. App\Models\User). Press Enter to accept, or clear the field to skip schema detection and generate empty Form/Table stubs.

Pass --model to skip the prompt entirely:

php artisan make:crud User --model=App\\Domain\\Auth\\Models\\User

The command prompts up to three times: for the model class, for the Vue page style (only when the pages config is ask) and for the delete button. --model, --shared / --pages and --destroy each skip the matching prompt, so passing all of them makes the command fully non-interactive. When a model is given, its detected columns are printed before generation starts.

What gets generated

The three Vue pages are only generated for the per-resource page style. With the shared style the published Crud/*.vue pages are reused instead - see Vue Pages. The pages segment follows your project's convention and becomes Pages on projects that use resources/js/Pages/.

Then register the route:

Route::resource('users', \App\Http\Controllers\UserController::class);

The generated controller

The controller extends Laravel's Controller and includes all CRUD methods explicitly, using model route binding and the generated form, table, and request classes:

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index(): Response
    {
        return Inertia::render('Users/Index', [
            'table' => UserTable::build()->rowLink(fn ($row) => route('users.show', $row)),
            'title' => 'Users',
            'createRoute' => route('users.create'),
        ]);
    }

    public function store(UserRequest $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        User::create($request->validated());

        return redirect()->route('users.index')->with('success', 'User created.');
    }

    // show, create, edit, update, destroy …
}

All methods are written out explicitly - customise the controller directly.

Available options

--shared wins over --pages when both are passed, and both win over the pages config value.

Delete button

make:crud prompts whether to add a delete button to the edit form. When confirmed, the generated edit() method includes a destroyRoute prop that Form.vue uses to render the button.

Pass --destroy to skip the prompt and always include it:

php artisan make:crud Product --destroy

The generated edit() method will contain:

return Inertia::render('Products/Form', [
    'form' => $form,
    'title' => 'Edit Product',
    'destroyRoute' => route('products.destroy', $product),
]);
