Laravel (quick) init
====================

[](#laravel-quick-init)

Quickly initialize a Laravel/Lumen project using terminal.

This package:

1. Clean vendor and node\_modules folder if provided
2. ⚠️ Reset your local MySQL `laravel` or `homestead` database or create it
3. Install Composer/NPM dependencies
4. Create `.env` file based on `.env.example` file and generate `APP_KEY`
5. Clear Laravel caches (route, config, cache)
6. Migrate and seed database

Why creating this package?
--------------------------

[](#why-creating-this-package)

I work as a web development teacher and frequently give assignments to my students. I teach them how to use Laravel, and then, they have to create many different Laravel projects for educational purpose.

That's why I need to quickly set up their Laravel project to be able to test and mark their projects.
