Introducing Laravel 5.8 support to InfyOm Laravel GeneratorLaravel

Introducing Laravel 5.8 support to InfyOm Laravel Generator with more cleaner Repository Pattern
Laravel 5.8 just release this week with a bunch of new improvements. You can read the full post here about new updates. so in a very small fraction of time, we also worked on to add support of Laravel 5.8 into our generator. You can read the installation steps here.
Also, one another feature or improvement we have done is, we tried to create a cleaner and extendable repository pattern while generating CRUD. so far we were using prettus/l5-repository package, which is really awesome if you do not want to write your general functions of create/all/update/delete/find in all of your repositories. I really loved that package and that's the reason we extended that package when we create our repository.
This is all great when you are talking about simple CRUD functions. But things get confusing when people want to customize their code. I got a lot of emails and also lots of people created issues on Github regarding how to customize that function based on their certain needs.
So with this version, I decided to write our own simple BaseRepository which will be published into app/Repositories/BaseRepository.php. so developers are free to customize all the basic functions.
Actually, this is also possible with prettus/l5-repository as well and with our generator as well by publishing templates. But that needs some more work and some deep knowledge of customizing templates. But with this update, it will be easier.
Right now, I do not expect any breaking changes who are migrating their code from 5.7 to 5.8 which is using a generator. I tried to keep all old BaseRepository classes and repository package into dependencies. All their existing generated repositories should work fine.
Still, if someone is getting any error then they can contact me by creating issues on Github. I will try to respond there.
Hope this release will help and people can start to get started to upgrade their code to Laravel 5.8.

AdminLTE Templates in mainstream development for Laravel Generator

AdminLTE Templates in mainstream development for Laravel Generator
Today we are going to take another major decision on our templates development for Laravel Generator.
It's around more than 7 months that we launched a new laravel generator with the ability to select any CSS framework based on developers choice. Even anyone can develop his own templates and use it with a generator.
After these 7 months, now we have around 4 templates repository including Bootstrap Templates, AdminLTE Theme Templates, FlatLab Theme Templates, Metronic Theme Templates with maintaining templates for 3 different version of Laravel including 5.1, 5.2, 5.3. Also, laravel has a rapid release cycle, so it's very hard to main 4 packages with 3 different versions support.
Also, what we realized is, lots of developers are using AdminLTE templates only for their main backend development. We found AdminLTE far better than any other templates. Also, It comes with a better setup, better elements support, regular updates and fits best for back-end Admin Panel development.
So today, we are taking a decision to actively only maintain AdminLTE templates and deprecate all other templates development from our end. so we can focus on one template repository and can add more features to it.
It doesn't mean that packages will be deleted from its GitHub repository, It will be always there, but we will be focusing more on AdminLTE templates and all other templates will be more community driven.

Greetings friends. Finally, InfyOm Labs blog is here.
This is my first blog, so, of course, this is my first post. so I spent quite a huge time by reading how to start a blog. Let me take you in the past and give you some brief idea, how all these things were started.
The Past back in 2015, I just get started with full-time freelancing. It was almost 2 years, I was working with Laravel. And recently Laravel 5 was just released in Feb 2015. It was a great time when the Laravel community was get growing really fast. Lots of developers were accepting Laravel as their primary framework for their mainstream development.
In these 2 years, I worked on a lot of projects where I developed some CRM systems, Analytics Platforms, lots of APIs for mobile applications etc. And the common problem that I found was, every time when I start a new module or a project, I have to create lots of common classes like, migration, model, controller, crud views files, repository, test cases etc. And this was a problem of lots of developers.
Then I started to streamline this process and this is how my first laravel-api-generator package was born. In just a few days, it has been started to be used by lots of developers and I got a lot of feature requests.
Almost after a year, I realized still it was missing some modularity architecture where a community can have the option to customize it the way they want to use it. Like customizing CSS framework, generator templates etc.
so I decided to rewrite a full package with a modular way and then the second version of the package was introduced with a new name InfyOmLabs/laravel-generator as a part of my new company's Labs project with a new website and detailed better documentation.
InfyOm Labs is a place, where we do various experiments and release it as an open-source project for a community.
Again, we got a huge attraction and even this time in a short period of around 6-7 months we completed 1000 stars on our new InfyOmLabs Github Account.
Just after some time, I got comments from a community that there should be some blog where tutorials & videos should be posted to use generator package for some newbie developers and for some more complex features of the package.
Then today, I finally started a blog and will post tutorials and videos for Generator as well as for Laravel & PHP by time by time.
so stay tuned for the videos and tutorials. Also, I would like to hear about your ideas about the tutorials and videos that you want to be posted here. Just post a comment about your ideas below.
Looking for the first idea to be submitted. :)
