Introduction

When using the nWidart/laravel-modules package for modular Laravel applications, you might have noticed that configurations, translations, and other resources within your modules are not automatically discovered and registered by Laravel and you need to register/discover them in the ModuleServiceProvider for every module. This package bridges that gap by automatically discovering and registering these resources, simplifying your module development process.

With Modules Auto-Discover, you no longer need to manually call methods like registerConfigs() or registerTranslationss() in your module service providers. The package handles the discovery and registration automatically during the application's boot process.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require dotswan/modules-auto-discover

The package uses Laravel's auto-discovery feature, so no additional steps are required to register the service provider.

Usage

Once installed, the package will automatically discover and register the following resources in your enabled modules:

• Configurations (Config/ directory)
• Translations (Lang/ directory)
• Views (Resources/views/ directory)
• Routes (Routes/ directory)
• Migrations (Database/Migrations/ directory)
• Factories (Database/Factories/ directory)
• Seeds (Database/Seeders/ directory)

Auto-Discovery

By default, auto-discovery is enabled for all your modules. This means that any resources placed in the standard directories will be automatically registered without any additional configuration.

For example, placing a configuration file at Modules/YourModule/Config/permission.php will make its contents available via Laravel's config() helper:

// Accessing a configuration value from your module
$value = config('permission.key');`

Note: nWidart Modules will create a config.php file for every module by default (if you enabled to generate), we recommend you to create a separate file for each configuration to avoid conflicts (don't use config.php for all modules)

Disabling Auto-Discovery per Module

If you want to disable auto-discovery for a specific module, you can do so by adding an "auto-discovery": false entry to your module's module.json file:

{ 
  "name": "YourModule",
  "alias": "yourmodule",
  ...
  "auto-discovery": false,
  ...
}

With auto-discovery set to false, the package will skip the automatic registration of resources for that module. You can then manually register resources in your module's service provider if needed.
