Usage

Every generator creates a class in a fixed namespace and adds an empty method body (//) for you to fill in.

Default namespaces

Command	Default namespace	Generated file
`make:action`	`App\Actions`	`app/Actions/{Name}.php`
`make:builder`	`App\Models\Builders`	`app/Models/Builders/{Name}Builder.php`
`make:collection`	`App\Models\Collections`	`app/Models/Collections/{Name}Collection.php`
`make:concern`	`App\Concerns`	`app/Concerns/{Name}Concern.php`
`make:contract`	`App\Contracts`	`app/Contracts/{Name}Contract.php`
`make:facade`	`App\Facades`	`app/Facades/{Name}.php`
`make:model`	`App\Models`	`app/Models/{Name}.php`
`make:service`	`App\Services`	`app/Services/{Name}Service.php`

Sub-namespaces

Pass a namespaced name to nest the generated class under a sub-directory:

php artisan make:action Billing\ChargeAction

This generates app/Actions/Billing/ChargeAction.php in the App\Actions\Billing namespace. Nested names work for every command:

php artisan make:facade Payment\Stripe
# app/Facades/Payment/Stripe.php — App\Facades\Payment\Stripe

Model integration

Model with a custom builder

php artisan make:model Order --builder

This generates two files:

app/Models/Order.php — the model, with a newEloquentBuilder() method added:

public function newEloquentBuilder($query): OrderBuilder
{
    return new OrderBuilder($query);
}

app/Models/Builders/OrderBuilder.php — a builder extending Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder, typed against the model:

/** @template TModel of \App\Models\Order */
/** @extends Builder<\App\Models\Order> */
class OrderBuilder extends Builder
{
    //
}

Model with a custom collection

php artisan make:model Order --collection

This generates app/Models/Collections/OrderCollection.php and adds a newCollection() method to the model:

public function newCollection(array $models = []): OrderCollection
{
    return new OrderCollection($models);
}

Both at once

php artisan make:model Order --builder --collection

The --all flag from Laravel's built-in make:model also scaffolds the builder and collection, alongside the factory, migration, seeder, controller, and other files:

php artisan make:model Order --all

Overwriting existing files

Every generator refuses to overwrite an existing file unless you pass --force (short: -f):

php artisan make:service PaymentService --force

Without --force, an existing class fails with a message such as Service already exists.
