# Creating a Simple CRUD

## **Text + screenshots version**

To create a new CRUD, click **Menus / CRUDs** on the left sidebar, and then **Create CRUD Menu Item** in the center.

You will see a form, like below.

On the top you need to enter the CRUD Model name (in singular, like "**Project**" or "**Transaction**"), choose Font Awesome icon and parent menu, if needed.

&#x20;At the bottom, some fields are pre-filled for you: **id**, **timestamps**, **soft-deletes**.

&#x20;To add a new field, click **Add new field** row. You will see this form:

There is a dozen of field types, in the most simple **Text** field type you only need to add **Key** and **Label**, and click **Save**.

Every field type has its own settings. For example, if we add another field with **Textarea** field type, we can choose whether to use [CKEditor](https://ckeditor.com/):

After you finish entering all the fields, just click **Save CRUD** at the bottom of the fields.

Then the code will start generating, and you will see the progress in the left sidebar - when you're able to View or Download new code.

## Table Settings

At the bottom of Create CRUD page, there are three settings for the visual table that will be shown for the list of that DB table:

* NEW! You can enable **column search** (to have input search for each individual column)
* You can modify amount of **entries per page** (default 100)
* You can change **ordering** (default is newest-to-oldest, so "*order by id desc*")

## Additional Options

At the top of CRUD form, there is a link **Show more options** which opens up a few extra settings, which are all enabled by default, but you can disable them.

Here, you can enable/disable:

* Soft Deletes - read more about them in [Laravel documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/master/eloquent#soft-deleting)
* To generate or not generate API routes/controllers
* What actions are needed for this CRUD - maybe you need only create but not edit form

Also, you may see more options here, depending on the modules you have installed.
