Select: CleanCodeStudio\MakeFacades\ServiceProvider

• • config.make-facades.path 

    • Defines path to the facades folder path 

      • AKA where new facades will be created to

  • config.make-facades.namespace

    • Defines namespace on every Facade class generated by this package.

  • config.make-facades.providers_path

    •  New setting option to support Laravel 8

    • @see Issue #4 if you have issues with Laravel 8 

  • config.make-facades.auto_alias_facades 

    • Defines whether a facade's service class will automatically bind to the service container.

    • If this is false you will have to manually bind service classes to the service container within any service provider for each service class' Facade to properly work. 

return [

   // Directory path save your facades

   'path' => 'app/facades',

  // Namespace Of Your Facades

  'namespace' => 'App\\Facades',

  // Providers path (@see https://github.com/zhorton34/laravel-make-facades/issues/4)

  'providers_path' => 'app/Providers',

  // This will find all of the aliases and services defined in your path settings and

  // 1. Bind the service classes for each facade to the service container automatically

  // 2. Register aliases for each facade base on the Class Name the Facade Reference to the service container automatically

  'auto_alias_facades' => true,

];

1. • Creates Scaffold for MyCoolService class

   • Creates Scaffold for MyCoolServiceFacade class

   • Note:

   • If 'auto_alias_facades' => true in config/make-facade.php then the service will automatically be binded to your service container

   • If 'auto_alias_facades' => false in config/make-facade.php then you need to bind your generated service class to the service container in any service provider for the facade to properly work.

<?php

namespace App\Facades\MyCoolService;

class MyCoolService

{

    // create MyCoolService class

}

<?php

namespace App\Facades\MyCoolService;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class MyCoolServiceFacade extends Facade

{

    protected static function getFacadeAccessor()

    {

        return 'MyCoolService';

    }

}

Bind generated service class (Example MyCoolServiceClass) to the service container whenever you create a new facade and service scaffold via running the make:facade command.

If auto_alias_facades is set to true then it will register the service class (Example MyCoolServiceClass) to the service container automatically.

• A. Remember You Can Auto Bind The Services and Auto Aliases Your Service Facades Simply By Setting auto_alias_facades to TRUE within you config/make-facades.php file! Simple, quick, and easy.

• B. If you do change your namespace or file path in your config, Facades and Facade Services within the old namespace and old file path WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER TO THE CONTAINER.

• C. If you do not want to auto register or automatically add the aliases for your generated facades, simply set auto_alias_facades to false within your config/make-facades.php file

• • Note: config/make-facades.php is created during the previous step when we publish this package via artisan
