  'auto_alias_facades' => true,
];

Use Make Facades Service

1. Run: php artisan make:facade MyCoolService
   • Creates Scaffold for MyCoolService class
   • Creates Scaffold for MyCoolServiceFacade class
   • Note:
   • If 'auto_alias_facades' => true in config/make-facade.php then the service will automatically be binded to your service container
   • If 'auto_alias_facades' => false in config/make-facade.php then you need to bind your generated service class to the service container in any service provider for the facade to properly work.

MyCoolService Class

• By Default created to App\Facades\MyCoolService\MyCoolService.php

<?php

namespace App\Facades\MyCoolService;

class MyCoolService
{
    // create MyCoolService class
}

MyCoolServiceFacade Class

• By Default created to App\Facades\MyCoolService\MyCoolServiceFacade.php

<?php

namespace App\Facades\MyCoolService;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class MyCoolServiceFacade extends Facade
{
    protected static function getFacadeAccessor()
    {
        return 'MyCoolService';
    }
}

Note: auto_alias_facades in config

• If 'auto_alias_facades' => true in config/make-facade.php then the service will automatically be binded to your service container
• If 'auto_alias_facades' => false in config/make-facade.php then you need to bind your generated service class to the service container in any service provider for the facade to properly work.

In Closing

• A. Remember You Can Auto Bind The Services and Auto Aliases Your Service Facades Simply By Setting auto_alias_facades to TRUE within you config/make-facades.php file! Simple, quick, and easy.

• B. If you do change your namespace or file path in your config, Facades and Facade Services within the old namespace and old file path WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER TO THE CONTAINER.

• C. If you do not want to auto register or automatically add the aliases for your generated facades, simply set auto_alias_facades to false within your config/make-facades.php file
