⛔️ Laravel Tinx (Deprecated)
============================

[](#️-laravel-tinx-deprecated)

[![No Maintenance Intended](./readme/unmaintained.svg)](http://unmaintained.tech/)

**Laravel Tinx** was archived on 12th December 2019 and is no longer maintained.

Looking for a reloadable version of [Laravel Tinker](https://github.com/laravel/tinker)?

Save the following script as `tinx.sh` to your project root directory:

```
#!/bin/sh
while true; do php artisan tinker; done
```

Run the script to launch a reloadable version of Tinker:

```
$ . tinx.sh
```

While your Tinker session is running, press:

- Ctrl + D from an empty prompt to **reload** your session
- Ctrl + C to **exit** your session

Can't see newly created classes in Tinker?

Exit your Tinker session and run:

```
$ composer dump -o
```

Thanks for loving [Laravel](https://laravel.com), and thanks for digging Tinx.

Happy coding!

🤓👋
