This package is auto-updated.

Last update: 2025-04-09 23:47:08 UTC

README

This is a simple bootstrapping package for Laravel 5.4+ (it may work on 5.3 but it hasn't been tested) designed around my personal preferences, so it might not suit everyone, but you are welcome to fork it and adjust it to your needs.

Use this package exclusively on a fresh Laravel installation, as it will rewrite config options in app.php and database.php.

What it does:

  • pulls in Laravel IDE Helper and Cascading Config packages
  • generates IDE helper file and localdev environment files (/config.localdev/...)
  • replaces env() calls in /config/app.php and /config/database.php with strings (the latter being fully overwritten)
  • adds /bootstrap/env.php file and deletes .env file, effectively disposing of DotEnv usage in your application.
    You should not use DotEnv in production. Personally, I prefer not to use it at all, and much prefer cascading config over it. Thank you @Phan An
  • prompts user for application info and sets appropriate config options, and creates the database

Installation

Use exclusively on a fresh Laravel installation.

  • add "gtcrais/laravel-app-bootstrap": "1.3.*" to your composer.json and run composer update
  • for Laravel 5.4 add GTCrais\LaravelAppBootstrap\LaravelAppBootstrapServiceProvider::class, to providers array in /config/app.php
  • run php artisan lab:setup
  • fill in data about your application

Your application is now set up, and using localdev environment.

Notes

  • Laravel App Bootstrap assumes your're using MySQL on localhost, port 3306. If this is not the case, after bootstrapping you'll need to adjust your database config options and manually create the database.
  • since getting rid of .env file obviously breaks php artisan key:generate command, Laravel App Bootstrap provides a substitution: lab:key-generate
