Laravel View Extended

Additional Artisan commands for generating Laravel views. This package does not replace or modify Laravel's built-in make:view command.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 13+

Installation

Install the package through Composer:

composer require roy-sandip/laravel-view-extended

Laravel package discovery automatically registers the service provider.

If the package is not yet published on Packagist, install it directly from GitHub by adding the VCS repository to your application's composer.json:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/roy-sandip/laravel-view-extended"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "roy-sandip/laravel-view-extended": "dev-main"
    }
}

Then run:

composer update roy-sandip/laravel-view-extended

Once a stable version is tagged and available through Packagist, the normal composer require command above is sufficient.

Commands

Laravel's original command remains available

php artisan make:view invoices.index

Generate a view from an existing view template

php artisan make:custom-view invoices.index --cp=layouts.page-template

The --cp value is a Laravel view name, not a filesystem path. Laravel's view finder resolves it using the application's configured view paths and namespaces.

More examples:

php artisan make:custom-view invoices.create --cp=layouts.form
php artisan make:custom-view shipments.index --cp=layouts.admin
php artisan make:custom-view invoices.index --cp=layouts.page-template --force

The custom command inherits Laravel's native view generator behavior and options, including --extension and --force. When --cp is omitted, the parent command's normal behavior is used.

Package architecture

src/
├── LaravelViewCommandsServiceProvider.php
├── Commands/
│   └── MakeCustomViewCommand.php
└── Support/
    └── TemplateResolver.php

• MakeCustomViewCommand extends Laravel's ViewMakeCommand.
• TemplateResolver resolves named Blade views through Laravel's view finder.
• The service provider registers only the additional make:custom-view command.

Extending the package

Add future options to MakeCustomViewCommand::$signature. Put reusable logic in dedicated classes under src/Support.

Potential future options:

• --layout=layouts.admin
• --section=content
• --component
• --crud

The package uses make:custom-view so Laravel's native make:view remains untouched.
