README

A modern Laravel admin panel featuring a role-based BREAD system (browse, read, edit, add and delete), built as an evolution of Voyager.

⚙️ Installation

2️⃣ Install Navia using Composer

Run the following command from your Laravel project root:

composer require carloscolmenarez/navia

2️⃣ Add the DB Credentials & APP_URL

Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

You will also want to update your website URL inside of the APP_URL variable inside the .env file:

APP_URL=http://localhost:8000

3️⃣ Run The Installer

Lastly, we can install navia. You can do this either with or without dummy data. The dummy data will include 1 admin account (if no users already exists), 1 demo page, 4 demo posts, 2 categories and 7 settings.

To install Navia without dummy simply run

php artisan navia:install

If you prefer installing it with dummy run

php artisan navia:install --with-dummy

And we're all good to go!

Start up a local development server with php artisan serve And, visit http://localhost:8000/admin.

👽 Creating an Admin User

If you did go ahead with the dummy data, a user should have been created for you with the following login credentials:

email: [e-mail] password: password

NOTE: Please note that a dummy user is only created if there are no current users in your database.

If you did not go with the dummy user, you may wish to assign admin privileges to an existing user. This can easily be done by running this command:

php artisan navia:admin [e-mail]

If you did not install the dummy data and you wish to create a new admin user, you can pass the --create flag, like so:

php artisan navia:admin [e-mail] --create

And you will be prompted for the user's name and password.

🙏 Acknowledgements

Navia builds upon the amazing work of the original Voyager package. All credit and appreciation go to the original creators for their contribution to the Laravel ecosystem.

Enjoy! 🚤
