Package Toolkit for Laravel

A native, dependency-free toolkit for building Laravel packages: a fluent package-bootstrap builder, key-type aware schema macros, strict config readers and small database and model helpers — built only on official Laravel and Symfony APIs.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13.

composer require roundly-consulting/package-toolkit-for-laravel

Usage

Describe what your package ships — the base provider wires every console-gated publish, load and command call (migrations are published, never auto-loaded):

use RoundlyConsulting\PackageToolkit\Concerns\RegistersBlueprintMacros;
use RoundlyConsulting\PackageToolkit\Package;
use RoundlyConsulting\PackageToolkit\PackageServiceProvider;

final class CommentsServiceProvider extends PackageServiceProvider
{
    use RegistersBlueprintMacros;

    public function configurePackage(Package $package): void
    {
        $package
            ->name('comments')                   // tags: comments-config, comments-migrations, …
            ->hasConfigFile()
            ->hasMigrations()
            ->hasTranslations()
            ->hasCommands([PruneCommentsCommand::class])
            ->contributesToAbout();
    }

    public function boot(): void
    {
        parent::boot();

        $this->registerBlueprintMacros();       // morphKey(), ownerKey(), auditable(), …
    }
}

Then build key-type aware migrations and read config strictly:

use RoundlyConsulting\PackageToolkit\Enums\KeyType;
use RoundlyConsulting\PackageToolkit\Support\Config;

Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table): void {
    $table->id();
    $table->morphKey('commentable', KeyType::fromConfig('comments.key_type'));  // bigint, uuid or ulid pair
    $table->text('body');
    $table->auditable();                                                          // timestamps + soft deletes
});

Config::integer('comments.per_page', 20, min: 1, max: 100);   // '20' → 20; 'five' throws, never falls back
