Laravel Zero to Ready is a Laravel package that automates the initial project setup. With a single command, it configures essential features like localization, API versioning, and exception handling, saving you hours of repetitive work.
Every time I started a new Laravel project, I found myself doing the same initial setup—localization, API versioning, exception handling, stubs, and more. While not mandatory, these are things you always end up needing at some point.
Setting them up manually took me 1-2 hours every time. And being a typical programmer, my first thought was: "Why not automate this?" (even if the automation itself takes more time to build! 😂).
So here we are! I created Laravel Zero to Ready, a package that lets you set up all these essentials with a single command. No more wasting time—just run the setup and start coding! 🎉
A huge thanks to mazimez's Laravel Hands-On repo, which helped me a lot in learning Laravel and coding this package. 🙌
From the vast pool of possible setups, I've included the most essential ones (for now):
- 🌍 Localization (because supporting multiple languages is always a good idea!)
- 🔥 Exception Handling (so your API errors don't look like a mess)
- 🔄 API Versioning (because you never know when you'll need v2!)
To install this package in your Laravel project, follow these steps:
Run the following command to install the package:
composer require kakarot/laravel-initial-setupOnce installed, simply run:
php artisan project:setupAnd that's it! Your Laravel project is now pre-configured with localization, exception handling, and API versioning. 🎉
This package is just the beginning! I plan to add more common setup features over time, like stubs, multiple migration at a time, and more. Stay tuned! 🚀
