How to use Nwidart modules in Laravel

Nwidart is a Laravel package which created to manage your large Laravel app using modules. Module is like a Laravel package, it has some views, controllers or models.

Step 1: Open Terminal in your Laravel Project and install below package.

composer require nwidart/laravel-modules

Step 2: Autoloading of Package  in Composer.json

Default, the module classes are not loaded automatically. Autoload your modules using psr-4 

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\": "app/",
      "Modules\\": "Modules/"
  }
}

After  that run below command,

Composer dump-autoload

Step 3: Make your first Nwidart Module.

Use below command to create your first Module.

// Here Admin is Module name you can use any appropriate name

php artisan module:make Admin

 Step 4: Module Structure

We can see that a new folder "Modules" is created. in that folder we have a folder "Admin". In Admin folder following structure is generated.

├── Admin/
      ├── Config/
      ├── Console/
      ├── Database/
          ├── factories/
          ├── Migrations/
          ├── Seeders/
      ├── Entities/
      ├── Http/
          ├── Controllers/
          ├── Middleware/
          ├── Requests/
      ├── Providers/
          ├── AdminServiceProvider.php
          ├── RouteServiceProvider.php
      ├── Resources/
          ├── assets/
          ├── lang/
          ├── views/
      ├── Routes/
          ├── api.php

      ├── Tests/
      ├── composer.json
      ├── module.json

Step 5: Calling View, Lang, Config

For Calling view of Module use this namespace.

// For View call
view('admin::create');

// For Lang call
Lang::get('admin::en.title');
@trans('admin::en.title');

// For Config call
Config::get('admin.name')
