php artisan create:migration <plugin code> --update --model YourModel
Create a model
php artisan create:model <plugin code> <model name>
The create:model
command generates the files needed for a new model. The first argument specifies the plugin code of the plugin that this model will be added into, and the second parameter specifies the model class name, eg. MyModel
.
Create a settings model
php artisan create:settings <plugin code> [model name]
The create:settings

).
Create a backend controller
php artisan create:controller <plugin code> <controller name>
