Laravel Auto Routes Package

Auto Routes for Laravel is a package by İzni Burak Demirtaş that generates routes from a controller using auto-discovery. It works by discovering public methods on a controller and generating routes for them:

// routes/web.php
Route::auto('/test', TestController::class);
 
//
// Controller example
//
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 
class TestController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * URL: "/test" - main method
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        // controller code
    }
 
    /**
     * URL: "/test/foo-bar"
     * This method will only work with 'GET' method.
     */
    public function getFooBar(Request $request)
    {
        // controller code
    }
 
    /**
     * URL: "/test/foo_bar"
     * This method will only work with 'GET' method.
     */
    public function get_foo_bar(Request $request)
    {
        // controller code
    }
 
 
    /**
     * URL: "/test/bar-baz"
     * This method will only work with 'POST' method.
     */
    public function postBarBaz(Request $request)
    {
        // controller code
    }
}

The route method also takes a third argument to configure parameters and middleware:

Route::auto('/test', TestController::class, [
    'name' => 'test',
    'middleware' => [YourMiddleware::class],
    // Parameters become available to methods
    'patterns' => [
        'id' => '\d+',
        'value' => '\w+',
    ],
]);
 
// Limit the methods that will define routes
Route::auto('/foo', 'FooController', [
    'only' => ['fooBar', 'postUpdatePost'],
]);

While most developers are happy with Laravel's built-in routing definitions (Laravel routing is so good in my humble option), it is a unique idea with examples in the source code of working with PHP's reflection API and the Laravel router.
