README

The Laces starter kit - an opinionated set of improvements to the official Laravel starter kit for Livewire.

Why?

Because I kept creating this at the start of every new project, so I decided to make it easier for mysql. If anyone else finds it useful, great :)

Features

This starter kit uses the official Livewire starter kit as a base, and improves it with the following strongly opinionated changes:

• Enforces PHP strict_types throughout
• Adds APP_TIMEZONE support to .env
• Uses class-based Livewire by default
• Enhances Pest testing setup
• Sets strong password defaults
• Removes GitHub workflows
• Installs Flux UI Pro
• Improve views to allow guests and replace static welcome page
• Installs Duster (providing composer fix and composer lint)
• Installs Prettier with Blade and Tailwind CSS support (providing npm run format)

Maintenance

The creation of this starter kit is now mostly automated by the laces-cli project.

Whenever a new Laravel or Livewire starter kit version is released, this starter kit will update automatically.

As with all starter kits, once you use it, the code is yours — you won’t be updating or maintaining anything further.

Installation

This starter kit is made to be used with the most recent Laravel version.

laravel new --using=legecha/laces

Requests

I'm happy to take pull requests for changes, but remember this is an opinionated starter kit. You are also welcome to send pull requests to the laces-cli tool to provide non-default options or customisations you may want for yourself, or to create your own starter packages.
