Bootpack is a laravel 5 package bootstraper that does the following:

• Creates composer.json for a laravel package
• Create a basic well structured package directory
• Adds the local autoloader to the project composer.json
• Dumps the autoload
• Adds the package service provider to the laravel project
• Initiates a git repository
• Perhaps more...

It features a full terminal application based on an artisan command.

composer require drnkwati/bootpack

Register the service provider to the current project (Not needed if using laravel 5.5+):

Drnkwati\Bootpack\BootpackServiceProvider::class

Publish the configuration:

php artisan vendor:publish

Can't be more simple... rename test/package to the vendor/packagename notation you wish to create.

Example: test/package

php artisan bootpack:create test/package

If you desire a minimal setup, pass in the option --source=legacy or provide a custom template path.

php artisan bootpack:create test/package --source=legacy

php artisan bootpack:create test/package --source=~/path/to/custom/package/template/directory

You then have a cool functional terminal to help you create the package. Enjoy!
