Description

Core is the backend shell of a Laravel Enso application.

It aggregates the packages required for a standard Enso installation, registers the framework-level service providers and middleware stack, exposes the base authentication and SPA endpoints, builds the frontend boot state, manages user preferences, publishes shared assets and mail resources, and provides a handful of operational commands used across Enso projects.

It is the package that turns the rest of the Enso ecosystem into a coherent application runtime.

Installation

This package is intended to be installed as the main backend dependency of an Enso application:

composer require laravel-enso/core

After installation, run the standard setup steps:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

If you want to publish the package resources, the relevant tags are:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-seeders
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-assets
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-email

The package automatically:

  • loads API routes
  • loads migrations
  • loads mail views
  • registers Enso service providers
  • configures the Eloquent factory resolver for package models

Features

  • Provides the base Enso API shell, including guest meta, SPA home state, auth routes, and preferences routes.
  • Registers the core middleware group used by authenticated Enso routes.
  • Configures password policy defaults from enso.auth.password.
  • Builds the SPA boot state from state providers discovered across Enso packages.
  • Persists per-user global and route-level preferences.
  • Publishes shared email templates and image assets.
  • Registers operational commands for version reporting, storage resets, preference resets, preference upgrades, and app-update notifications.
  • Integrates login tracking, password reset flows, websocket support, route authorization, localisation, impersonation, and action logging through the wider Enso stack.

Usage

The package exposes the guest meta endpoint:

route('meta');

Authenticated clients bootstrap the SPA state through:

route('core.home.index');

Preferences can be updated per route or globally through:

route('core.preferences.store', ['route' => 'administration.users.index']);
route('core.preferences.reset');

Useful built-in commands:

php artisan enso:version
php artisan enso:preferences:reset
php artisan enso:preferences:update-global
php artisan enso:storage:reset
php artisan enso:announce-app-update

The frontend counterpart for the API shell and shared UI runtime lives in the Enso UI package:

::: warning Note core.home.index does not return a Blade page. It returns the merged state payload produced by the Enso state builder, grouped by frontend store. :::
