Draft Poster

Why

I love Laravel. But, starting a new project is always a pain for me as I do so much repetitive work. CMS is also not a solution for me. This repository stand for boilerplate when starting a fresh Laravel project. It will be filled with example (working) source code for basic app functionality.

Anyway, its under development. You have been warned.

Configuration

  • Run composer install first.
  • I use homestead for development. You should too.
  • I use mandrill for email. If you want, then get Mandrill API keys.
  • I use bower for frontend dependencies. If you haven't please install it. To install frontend dependencies (must), go to public folder then run bower install.
  • Copy .env.example.php to .env.local.php for local environment OR to .env.php for production environment.
  • Set your database in app/config/database.php or app/config/local/database.php for local environment.
  • Run migration.
  • Optional: setup virtual host

Feature

  • Bootstrap 3 based.
  • Bower powered frontend dependencies management.
  • Zizaco/Confide powered user authentication solution.
  • Zizaco/Entrust powered ACL. Not everybody need it. Sometimes its overkill, feel free to roll out your own solution.
  • Gravatar Integration for profile image.
  • For faster development, i use way/generators. For custom template, you can modify it on app/templates.
