Every modern framework nowadays provides a scaffolding tool code generator for speeding up the process of starting a new project and avoid early repetitive tasks.

The purpose of this project is to leverage the Symfony Console Component to provide a CLI tool to automate the creation of drupal 8 modules by generating the directory structure for a module, routing, controllers, forms, services, plugins and required configuration files.

It supports adding services using Dependency Injection on class generation.

What is out of the box?

Generates module and info files.
Generates PSR-4 compliant directory structure for a module.
Register routes on YML files and map to PHP Classes (controller, form, service).
Create classes adding namespaces, uses and also the extend and implements keywords when required.
Support adding services using Dependency Injection on class generation.
