README

NAYKEL Devit

Dev toolbar for Naykel Laravel applications.

This package should only be used in a local development environment. Do not install or enable it in production; routes and toolbar are gated by APP_ENV=local only.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require naykel/devit --dev

The service provider will be automatically registered via Laravel's package discovery.

Usage

Adding the Toolbar

Include the toolbar component in your layout file (typically in resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php or similar):

<x-devit::toolbar />

The toolbar only displays in the local environment (APP_ENV=local).

Features

The toolbar provides quick access to the following development routes:

• Super User - Log in as user ID 1
• Admin User - Log in as user ID 2
• User - Log in as user ID 3
• User2 - Log in as user ID 4
• Site Pages - Link to pages.all route (if available)
• Dev - Link to dev route (if available)
• Test Email - Send a test email to verify mail configuration
• Admin - Link to admin.dashboard route (if available)

Available Routes

When in the local environment, the following routes are automatically registered:

Route	Description
GET /login-super	Log in as super user (ID 1)
GET /login-admin	Log in as admin user (ID 2)
GET /login-user	Log in as user (ID 3)
GET /login-user2	Log in as user2 (ID 4)
GET /test-email	Send a test email to the configured from address

Test email is sent to config('mail.from.address') so you can verify mail configuration locally.

Configuration

Publish the config to customize (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=devit-config

Or merge in your app by publishing and editing config/devit.php:

• user_ids – Array of keys super, admin, user, user2 with user IDs. Set a key to null to disable that login route.
• redirect_after_login_user – Route name to redirect to after "Login as User" (e.g. 'user.dashboard'). Default is null, which redirects back to the previous page so the package works in apps that don't define a user dashboard route.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^12.0
