LIT intends to provide a solid foundation on top of Laravel to improve rapid development. It aims to include every tool that is always (or almost always) used when developing a standard web app. It is stable, but currently in the early stages of curation.
LIT includes:
- Profiler - https://github.com/loic-sharma/profiler
- Generators - https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Laravel-4-Generators
- Admin area
- Login & forgotten password
- Navbar
HTML/CSS is based around Twitter Bootstrap (loaded by cdn)
JQuery 2.0.3 is also loaded by cdn
AngularJS 1.2.6 is also loaded by cdn, and controlled by /public/js/app.js
App.js tells angular to use alternative brackets, to prevent conflicts with the Blade templating engine
The /vendor/ folder has been removed from .gitignore to allow deploying without running $ composer install on the server. You can safely uncomment that line if you wish to prevent this behaviour.
- git clone this repo down to your machine, then set up your own repo and do:
$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin your_new_repo
$ composer update- Set up virtual host & hosts file, & restart Apache (if applicable).
- Check /bootstrap/start.php to review environment settings. Change as required.
- Create a database, & set up app/config/database.php. Also review app/config/mail.php, & app/config/app.php (specifically url & key). See also app/config/[local/staging/production].
$ php artisan migrate --env=mine--env is required due to the way we're setting enviroments- Start developing :)
Contributions & forks are encouraged. The aim of LIT is to create a sturdy foundation for rapid development, without sacrificing production quality. Any feature that is always (or almost always) used in a web project could be added to LIT.
