README

Headless admin panel core for Laravel sites. Drives a full admin SPA (Inertia + Vue 3 + Tiptap) from a declarative Resource API — new admin modules are added with a single call in a service provider, with no controller or Vue page to write for the common case.

AdminCore::resource('articles', [
    'model'        => \App\Models\Article::class,
    'label'        => 'Статьи',
    'menu'         => 'Контент',
    'icon'         => 'fa-newspaper',
    'image_field'  => 'featured_image',
    'translatable' => ['title', 'excerpt', 'content'],
    'fields' => [
        ['name' => 'title',   'type' => 'text',     'label' => 'Заголовок', 'required' => true],
        ['name' => 'excerpt', 'type' => 'textarea', 'label' => 'Краткое описание'],
        ['name' => 'content', 'type' => 'editor',   'label' => 'Содержимое'],
    ],
    'attributes' => [
        ['name' => 'slug',         'type' => 'text',           'label' => 'Slug'],
        ['name' => 'is_published', 'type' => 'boolean',        'label' => 'Опубликована'],
        ['name' => 'published_at', 'type' => 'datetime-local', 'label' => 'Дата публикации'],
    ],
]);

That call produces:

• Sidebar entry under Контент
• /admin/articles — paginated list with search
• /admin/articles/create — form with locale tabs (RU/KK/EN), Tiptap editor for the content field, image upload, sidebar with plain attributes
• /admin/articles/{id}/edit — pre-filled edit form
• Auto-generated validation from types
• CRUD routes dispatched through a single generic controller
• Toggle-publish action

No ArticleController. No Articles/Index.vue. No Articles/Form.vue. All driven by the config.

Features

• Declarative resources — full CRUD from one config array
• Translatable fields with per-locale inputs (RU/KK/EN by default)
• Typed attributes (text, email, url, number, date, select, boolean, color…) with auto-generated validation
• Dynamic FK selects via closure-based options
• Rich-text editing — Tiptap / ProseMirror (replaces TinyMCE)
• Image uploads — single image per resource, with storage, URL helpers, delete-on-destroy
• Pluggable — per-resource Vue page overrides, custom controllers, mixed legacy + declarative resources
• Sidebar composition — resources + ad-hoc menuItem() entries, grouped by section, ordered
• Dashboard stats — pluggable card providers
• Inertia + Vue 3 — modern SPA admin over a Laravel backend
• Package-discoverable — drop it in, boot, go

Installation — one command

In a fresh or existing Laravel 11/12 app:

composer require meta/admin-core
php artisan admin-core:install

That's it. The installer will:

1. Publish config/admin-core.php + Inertia root view
2. Scaffold resources/js/admin-spa.js + resources/css/admin-spa.css
3. Register HandleInertiaRequests middleware in bootstrap/app.php
4. Patch vite.config.js (adds admin-spa.{js,css} + @admin-core alias + preserveSymlinks)
5. Run migrations
6. Create an admin user ([e-mail] / password)
7. Install npm deps + run npm run build

Then open http://your-site/admin and log in. Start registering resources in AppServiceProvider::boot():

use Meta\AdminCore\Facades\AdminCore;

AdminCore::resource('articles', [
    'model' => \App\Models\Article::class,
    // ...
]);

Full setup options: php artisan admin-core:install --help. See also docs/installation.md for the long-form walkthrough.

Register middleware in bootstrap/app.php:

$middleware->web(append: [
    \Meta\AdminCore\Http\Middleware\HandleInertiaRequests::class,
]);

Vite entry:

import { bootAdminCore } from '@admin-core/admin-spa.js';
import AdminLayout from '@admin-core/layouts/AdminLayout.vue';

const sitePages = import.meta.glob('./admin-spa/pages/**/*.vue');
const corePages = import.meta.glob('../../vendor/meta/admin-core/resources/js/pages/**/*.vue');

bootAdminCore({ sitePages, corePages, AdminLayout, title: 'My Admin' });
