Now, let’s create a crud. you just need to create a migration and leave it to the craftable to make a crud for you.

e.g. create a migration for product

php artisan make:migration create_products_table
# migration path
# database/migrations/2021_05_21_115426_create_products_table.php

Add some columns to the migration,

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateProductsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('slug')->nullable();
            $table->boolean('status')->default(true);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('products');
    }
}

Now, just hit the following command to make the whole crud,

php artisan admin:generate products

Now, compile the the laravel mix

npm run dev

Crud is generated, now you can run the project,

php artisan serve
