Released a new package: Laravel ReverseKit — Generate full backend from JSON

Hey everyone,

I just released a new open-source package called Laravel ReverseKit.
It takes a JSON structure and generates a complete Laravel backend from it — without using AI.

This means you can describe your output once, and it builds the whole backend around that structure.

---

What it generates

• Models
• Migrations
• Controllers
• API Resources
• Form Requests
• Policies
• Factories
• Seeders
• Feature tests
• API routes

All following Laravel’s default conventions for 10+, 11+ and 12+.

---

Example

If your JSON looks like this:

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "John",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "posts": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "First Post",
        "published": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

Run:

php artisan reverse:generate input.json

This generates the full backend structure, including relationships and inferred migration types.

Input sources supported

• JSON file
• JSON string
• Live API URL
• OpenAPI / Swagger
• Postman collections
• Existing database tables
• Interactive CLI mode

Why I built it

Most generators expect you to start with models and then manually create everything else. I wanted to flip the process: define data once and let the package reverse-engineer the backend for you.

Happy to hear feedback or suggestions for improvements. If you think a generator or integration is missing, let me know — would love ideas from the community.
