Laravel Starter Kit

This is a Laravel starter kit created by myself. It’s an opinionated setup that I almost always use, created entirely to skip the boilerplate process of setting everything up. It contains the following changes from the default laravel/laravel installation:

• Routing, middleware and exceptions are handled by their own classes in app/Boot.
• The routes directory has been removed and routes are instead defined in app/Http/Routes using classes that implement the App\Support\RouteMapper interface. These classes are then added to app/Boot/ConfigureRoutes.php.
• The app/Http/Controllers directory has been removed as a side effect due to the remove of the default Controller class.
• All default migrations have been removed.
• Logs are set to daily.
• Services that were set to use a database by default have been set back to use file, or sync in the case of jobs.
• Telescope is installed by default.
• Stubs are published by default.
• Larastsan is installed by default and set to max.
• The tpetry/laravel-postgresql-enhanced package is installed, and migration stubs have been set to use it.
• All default config has been published.
• The framework is told not to merge in the default config.
• Tailwind has been removed
• SaSS has been added.
• Vite has been configured to use resources/scss/app.scss as the entry point.
