Drago Generator

A lightweight CLI tool for generating PHP entity and data class files from your database schema.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.3
• Nette Framework
• Symfony Console
• Dibi
• Composer

Installation

composer require drago-ex/generator --dev

Usage

Run generation commands using the Composer-installed binary:

# Generate entity classes
php vendor/bin/generator app:entity <table>

# Generate data classes
php vendor/bin/generator app:dataClass <table>

Examples

# Generate all entities
php vendor/bin/generator app:entity

# Generate entity for a specific table
php vendor/bin/generator app:entity users

# Generate all data classes
php vendor/bin/generator app:dataClass

# Generate data class for a specific table
php vendor/bin/generator app:dataClass orders

Features

• Generate entity and data classes from database tables
• Configurable constants and column size constants
• Support for foreign key references
• Set custom suffixes, namespaces, and final classes
• Symfony Console integration for a clean CLI

Generator settings

All settings of entities and data form can be found in Options.php

Notes

• Designed for Nette Framework projects.
• CLI binary expects a project with app/Bootstrap.php.
• For non-Nette projects, a custom bootstrap is required.
