Lavender is an Open Source E-Commerce Framework built on top of Laravel 5.
Note: Lavender is in active development and NOT ready for production.
Lavender is open-sourced software licensed under the MIT license
Please see lavender/docs.
Each major version (N.x.x) of the project is charted below. Once the goals have been completed for each major version we will move to the next major version. As we progress, big updates (breaking changes) are released in minor versions (x.N.x) and smaller updates (new features) are released in micro versions (x.x.N). The application (this repo) is built in minor versions, so a re-install is required between minor versions.

This repository provides the consumer application which contains the controllers, models, and views (and config, locale, etc) that makes Lavender an ecommerce platform.
The lavender/framework repository contains framework enhancements for Laravel 5, including multiple authentication, a powerful Entity class, layout injection, and easily extensible multi-state forms.
Avoid installing lavender in your web server's public directory. Instead create a symlink on lavender/public as your public root.
Run composer to create the lavender application:
composer create-project lavender-commerce/lavender
Set up your environment config file:
lavender/.env
Create the first round of migrations. This command reads the definitions in config/entity.php and compares it to your database.
php artisan migrate:entity
Run your newly created migration file:
php artisan migrate
Install lavender's dependencies (default store and theme):
php artisan db:seed --class=InstallLavender
Create an admin account:
php artisan make:admin
php artisan db:seed --class=SampleData
That's it!
