Answer 2

If you are using MySQL and Laravel 5.1 or above you can use php artisan code:models from this package: reliese/laravel. All you need to do is:

1. composer require reliese/laravel
2. Add the service provider to your config/app.php file Reliese\Coders\CodersServiceProvider::class
3. Publish the config file with php artisan vendor:publish --tag=reliese-models
4. Make sure your database is correctly configured in config/database.php and .env files.
5. And finally issue the command: php artisan code:models

This package will scan your database and create all models for you. If you need something more specific, you can customize its config file.

Hope this helps :)

There is a library Eloquent Model Generator which aim is creating Eloquent models classes using database tables as a source. It generates not only class stub, but relation methods, docblocks for magic fields, additional properties etc.

It provides a console command php artisan krlove:generate:model ClassName for generating one class per one call, but you can create your own command to call this command for each table from your database.
