ThrillWiki Laravel Project - Master Documentation

Last Updated: June 22, 2025 Project Status: Active Development with Screen-Agnostic Design Integration Version: Laravel 11 with Custom Development Acceleration Tools

⚠️ CRITICAL PROJECT TERMINOLOGY

IMPORTANT: Entity Name Change

Date: June 13, 2025 Change: "Company" entity has been permanently changed to "Operator"

Context: The entity for theme park operating companies and ride manufacturers was initially referred to as "Company". This has been permanently changed to "Operator" to better reflect the business domain.

What This Means:

• All future development must use "Operator" (not "Company")
• Generator commands use "Operator" model name
• Database relationships reference "operators" table
• Documentation consistently uses "Operator" terminology

Generator Commands:

# CORRECT - Use these commands
php artisan make:thrillwiki-model Operator --migration --factory --with-relationships --cached --api-resource --with-tests
php artisan make:thrillwiki-crud Operator --api --with-tests

# INCORRECT - Do NOT use these
php artisan make:thrillwiki-model Company [...]
php artisan make:thrillwiki-crud Company [...]

Relationship Patterns:

• Operator: parks (hasMany), manufactured_rides (hasMany), designed_rides (hasMany)
• Park: operator (belongsTo)
• Ride: manufacturer (belongsTo to Operator), designer (belongsTo to Designer)

Smart Trait Assignments:

• HasLocation: Park, Operator, ParkArea models
• HasSlugHistory: Park, Ride, Operator, Designer models

Status: ✅ PERMANENT CHANGE - FULLY IMPLEMENTED

Reference: See memory-bank/projectNotes.md for complete details.

🎯 Project Overview

ThrillWiki is a comprehensive Laravel/Livewire application that replicates and enhances a Django-based theme park database system. The project features advanced custom development generators that provide massive development acceleration through automated code generation with screen-agnostic design as a core principle.

🚀 CRITICAL FEATURE: ThrillWiki Custom Generator Suite

Development Acceleration Commands

ThrillWiki includes THREE major custom artisan generators that dramatically accelerate development:

2. Add CRUD Interface: Use CRUD command for complete admin interface

   php artisan make:thrillwiki-crud ModelName --migration --api --with-tests
   

3. Create Components: Use Livewire command for custom frontend components

   php artisan make:thrillwiki-livewire ComponentName --reusable --cached --with-tests
   

4. Test Everything: All generators include comprehensive test suites

   php artisan test --filter ModelNameTest
   

5. Customize: Extend generated code for specific requirements with screen-agnostic design

Performance Impact of Generators
