This forms the basis of single-page/dashboard-based Laravel web applications.

Requirements

  • Suitable server (LAMP-based)
  • A MySQL database for user and preferences tables
  • Bower (and this Node/NPM)

Up and Running

Create your MySQL database and clone this repo into a new vhost/web dir.

Run composer's install option to grab everything for Laravel:

composer install

Run bower's install option to grab all of the required .js/.css (public/assets/vendor):

bower install

Copy over .env.example so you have your own preferences file:

cp .env.example .env

Edit it and modify the last 4 lines:

nano .env

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=app
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=password

Run Laravel/artisan to generate a new app key:

php artisan key:generate

Run the migrations and database seeders to get you up and running:

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed

Set permissions appropriately

chmod -R 777 /my/app/webroot

Default user/password is: admin@localhost/password
