Stack

Layer	Tech
Framework	Laravel 12.x
Admin	FilamentPHP 5.x (SPA mode, custom theme, MFA)
Defaults	nunomaduro/essentials (strict models, auto-eager loading, immutable dates)
Static analysis	Larastan
Code style	Laravel Pint
Tests	Pest 4.x (incl. browser tests)
Refactoring	Rector

Developer Experience

One command to rule them all

composer review   # Pint → Rector → PHPStan → Pest

Quality & testing

• Pint – vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent (or composer run pint)
• Rector – vendor/bin/rector --ansi
• PHPStan – vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
• Pest – php artisan test --compact

CI (GitHub Actions)

• Tests – PEST 4.x, 4 parallel shards
• PHPStan – static analysis
• Pint – style fix + auto-commit

Filament

• SPA mode
• Custom login (with developer login in local)
• Custom theme
• Profile management
• MFA (App Authentication)
• Tables: striped rows, deferred loading

Customizations

Migration stubs

Custom stubs omit the down() method. Remove the custom stubs to restore Laravel’s default migration templates.

Helpers

Add app-wide helpers in app/Helpers.php:

if (! function_exists('example')) {
    function example(): string
    {
        return 'Your helper function here.';
    }
}

This project is based on CodeWithDennis/larament. We have made some changes to the original project to make it more suitable for our needs.
