Code Generation with Cakephp - Creating Plugin

How to create Plugin in CakePhp using command line?

I assume you already have set up code generation with cakephp, if not see our post about `code generation with cakephp`. Using cmd prompt it quite simple.

Step 1: Type this command

cake bake plugin admin

Step 2: Create Model

 cake bake model plugin --admin (note: admin is plugin name in camelcase)

It will show list of available models, select you want to bake like user model, news model etc.

Note: For cakephp 3+ versions you need to use
cake bake model --plugin PluginName ModelName

Step 3: Create Controller

cake bake controller plugin -- admin

It will show list of available controllers, select you want to bake like user controller, news controller etc

Note: For cakephp 3+ versions you need to use 

cake bake controller --plugin PluginName ControllerName

Step 4: create finally view files for your plugin

cake bake view plugin --admin

Note: For cakephp 3+ versions you need to use 

cake bake template --plugin PluginName TableName

It will show list of available controllers for which you want to make view files, select and done!

Your plugin is ready now.
