README

Laravel Form Builder is a backend package for building dynamic data sources, reusable API configurations, and form-driven CRUD flows on top of Laravel.

It is designed for teams that want a configurable, JSON-friendly builder layer without writing a new controller for every use case.

Installation

1. Require the package

composer require elgibor-solution/laravel-form-builder

2. Install the runtime registry scaffold

php artisan datasources:install

This command creates app/Runtime/AppRuntimeVariableRegistry.php only when it does not already exist. No AppServiceProvider changes or manual registry binding are needed.

If you also want the package config published during install, use:

php artisan datasources:install --publish-config

3. Publish migrations

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ESolution\DataSources\Providers\DataSourcesServiceProvider" --tag=datasources-migrations

4. Run migrations

php artisan migrate

5. Verify route prefix

By default, package routes are registered under the api prefix. You can adjust this in config/datasources.php or with environment variables such as:

DATASOURCES_ROUTE_PREFIX=api
DATASOURCES_ROUTE_VERSION=

6. Configure the package database connection

Set the connection the package should use for its models, queries, and migrations:

LARAVEL_FORM_BUILDER_DB_CONNECTION=tenant

The package falls back to DB_CONNECTION when this variable is not set. You can also read the resolved value from config:

config('datasources.database_connection')

Quick Start

Create a data source for your table or custom SQL.
Create an API config if you need a public dynamic endpoint.
Use the form builder to define fields and bind select options.
Call the generated endpoint from your frontend or server-to-server integration.
Use X-Tenant to switch Package Builder scope automatically between central and tenant records.

Example runtime request:

GET /api/data-source/users-list/query?page=1&per_page=10

Documentation

Architecture

The package is organized around a small set of backend layers:

Controllers accept management requests for builders and runtime API requests.
Models store the configuration records such as data sources, API configs, listeners, permissions, and mappings.
Services turn configuration into executable queries.
Support classes resolve dynamic routes, database scope, and endpoint lookups.
Providers register routes, migrations, and configuration.

High-level flow:

A developer creates a builder configuration.
The configuration is persisted in Laravel models and database tables.
The runtime route resolver finds the matching API config or data source.
The query service validates input, builds SQL or CRUD payloads, and returns the response.
