Generate files with laravel command

Question

I need to create a number of files in a specific format. So I planned to create a generate command by extending GeneratorCommand. I want to create view files and view-config files in application root directory.

The problem is, I did not find any official doc to do so. There are some article in the web, which suggests to use getDefaultNamespace method to set the path like the following. I was following the steps suggested at https://laravelpackage.com/06-artisan-commands.html#creating-a-generator-command. But I want to create files in root dir not into app dir. When i remove the $rootNamespace form the method it does not create files.

protected function getDefaultNamespace($rootNamespace)
{
    return $rootNamespace.'\Actions';
}

how can i create a command to generate files in specific directories in the application?

@GordonFreeman not successful yet, checking the package you referred. — nasirkhan

The class GeneratorCommand has a protected method rootNamespace. If I understand correctly, it returns the root ouf your application.

So you should be able to override the method getNamespace like so:

/**
 * Get the full namespace for a given class, without the class name.
 *
 * @param  string  $name
 * @return string
 */
protected function getNamespace($name)
{
    $rootNamespace = trim($this->rootNamespace(), '\\');
    return $this->getDefaultNamespace($rootNamespace);
}

NOTE
You can see a working example in one of my open source projects.
