Modular Architecture

Laravel Modules (nWidart)

Package: nwidart/laravel-modules

Purpose: Organize large applications into self-contained modules

Module Status (modules_statuses.json):

{
    "TaxModule": true,
    "PaymentModule": true,
    "NotificationModule": false
}

Creating a New Module

# Generate module scaffold
php artisan module:make ModuleName
 
# Generate controller within module
php artisan module:make-controller ControllerName ModuleName
 
# Generate model within module
php artisan module:make-model ModelName ModuleName
 
# Generate migration within module
php artisan module:make-migration create_table_name ModuleName

Module Best Practices

1. Single Responsibility: Each module handles one business capability
2. Self-Contained: Module should work independently
3. Clear Interfaces: Define contracts for inter-module communication
4. Avoid Direct Dependencies: Use service providers and dependency injection
