README

This package automates the setup of a fresh Laravel application by installing and configuring the packages and tools you commonly use in your projects.

It configures Docker Compose with Laravel Sail, installs your preferred packages (Telescope, Horizon, Filament, etc.), sets up Composer scripts for development, and configures your environment according to your preferences (locale, database, services).

Installation

Install the package in your fresh Laravel application:

composer require ngiraud/laravel-starter

Usage

After creating a new Laravel application with a starter kit, simply run:

php artisan starter:install

The command will guide you interactively to:

• Configure environment: application name, locale (fr/en), database settings
• Choose Docker services: MySQL, Redis, MinIO, etc.
• Install Composer packages: Laravel Telescope, Horizon, Filament, Larastan, Rector, etc.
• Setup development scripts: composer dev, composer test, composer lint
• Publish configuration files: pint.json, translation files
• Publish custom AppServiceProvider
• Add a command to create an Action class

Available packages

• Laravel Telescope - Debugging and monitoring
• Laravel Horizon - Redis queue management
• Filament - Admin panel interface
• Larastan - Static analysis with PHPStan
• Rector - Automated refactoring
