Inspired by [nunomaduro/essentials](https://github.com/nunomaduro/essentials). --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP `^8.1 || ^8.2 || ^8.3 || ^8.4` - Laravel `^10.0 | ^11.0 | ^12.0 | ^13.0` --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require danielemontecchi/laravel-basics ``` The package auto-registers via Laravel's service provider discovery. --- Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Publish the config file: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-basics-config ``` This will create `config/laravel-basics.php`, where each feature can be individually enabled or disabled. --- Full Setup: Development Tools, Code Style and Git Hooks ------------------------------------------------------- [](#full-setup-development-tools-code-style-and-git-hooks) Run the following command to interactively install and configure useful development tools: ``` php artisan basics:setup ``` This command will offer to install and configure the following: - **Laravel Folio**: page based routing for Laravel. - **Laravel Octane**: supercharge your Laravel application's performance. - **Laravel Pulse**: real-time application performance monitoring dashboard. - **Laravel Reverb**: real-time WebSocket communication backend for Laravel. - **Laravel Debugbar**: debugbar for Laravel applications. - **Log Viewer**: fast and beautiful Log Viewer for Laravel logs. - **Laravel Ray**: debug with Ray to fix problems faster. - **Laravel Backup**: backup your Laravel applications. - **Symfony Security Checker**: scan your app dependencies for known vulnerabilities. - **Predis**: a flexible and feature-complete Redis/Valkey client for PHP. - **Laravel Horizon**: dashboard and queue configuration for Laravel queues. - **PHP-CS-Fixer**: a tool to automatically fix PHP Coding Standards issues. - **PHPStan**: discover bugs in your code without running it (static analysis). - **EditorConfig**: helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers. - **Pest**: an elegant PHP testing framework. - **Peck**: identifies wording or spelling mistakes in your codebase. - **Laravel IDE Helper**: generates IDE helper files for better autocompletion. - **Husky Git Hooks**: improves your commits and more. - **gitignore**: a standard gitignore file for Laravel projects. You can safely rerun this command. It will never overwrite files without asking for confirmation. --- Available Features ------------------ [](#available-features) ### ✅ AutomaticallyEagerLoadRelationships [](#-automaticallyeagerloadrelationships) Enables automatic eager loading of relationships listed in `$touches` (Laravel 10.37+). Prevents N+1 queries caused by deferred loading of touched relations. ### ✅ DefaultPasswordRules [](#-defaultpasswordrules) Enforces stricter password validation globally in production: minimum 12 characters, maximum 50, and cross-checked against known data breach databases. No rules are enforced in non-production environments. ### ✅ DisableQueryLog [](#-disablequerylog) Disables the Eloquent query log in production. The log accumulates all executed queries in memory and is only useful during debugging — leaving it enabled causes silent memory growth in long-running processes. ### ✅ FakeSleep [](#-fakesleep) Mocks `Sleep::for(...)` during tests so no real time is spent waiting. Keeps the test suite fast without changing application code. ### ✅ ForceHttpsScheme [](#-forcehttpsscheme) Forces all generated URLs to use HTTPS via `URL::forceScheme('https')`. Useful when the app runs behind a proxy or CDN that terminates SSL. ### ✅ HttpClientGlobalTimeout [](#-httpclientglobaltimeout) Sets a global timeout (default: 30 seconds) for all outgoing `Http::` client requests. Prevents hanging requests from blocking production workers indefinitely. Set the value in seconds; use `false` to disable. ### ✅ ImmutableDates [](#-immutabledates) Replaces mutable `Carbon` instances with `CarbonImmutable` across the entire application. Prevents accidental date mutations when passing date objects between methods. ### ✅ LogSlowQueries [](#-logslowqueries) Logs database queries exceeding a configurable threshold (default: 100ms) as warnings. Helps surface performance issues early in development and staging. ### ✅ PreventAccessingMissingAttributes [](#-preventaccessingmissingattributes) Throws an exception when accessing a model attribute that has not been loaded or does not exist. Catches typos and missing `select()` columns that would otherwise fail silently. ### ✅ PreventLazyLoading [](#-preventlazyloading) Throws an exception for any lazy-loaded relationship in non-production environments. Forces eager loading and prevents N+1 query problems from reaching production undetected. ### ✅ PreventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes [](#-preventsilentlydiscardingattributes) Throws an exception if attributes unknown to the model are passed to `fill()` or `create()`. Prevents silent data loss caused by mismatched field names or typos in mass assignments. ### ✅ PreventStrayHttpRequests [](#-preventstrayhttprequests) Prevents real HTTP requests from being made during tests unless explicitly faked with `Http::fake()`. Protects against tests accidentally calling external services. ### ✅ ProhibitDestructiveCommands [](#-prohibitdestructivecommands) Blocks Artisan commands like `migrate:fresh`, `db:wipe`, and `migrate:reset` in production. Reduces the risk of irreversible data loss from accidental command execution. ### ✅ SchemaDefaultStringLength [](#-schemadefaultstringlength) Sets the default string column length for migrations (default: 191). Required for utf8mb4 charset support on older MySQL and MariaDB versions. ### ✅ SetDefaultTimezone [](#-setdefaulttimezone) Sets the PHP runtime timezone from the `app.timezone` config value. Complements `SetLocale` to ensure both locale and timezone are consistently applied from the application configuration. ### ✅ SetLocale [](#-setlocale) Sets the PHP and Carbon locale using the current `app.locale` config value. Ensures date formatting and string operations use the correct language settings. ### ✅ ShouldBeStrict [](#-shouldbestrict) Enables Eloquent strict mode globally in non-production environments. Combines `PreventLazyLoading`, `PreventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes`, and `PreventAccessingMissingAttributes` into a single model-level setting. ### ✅ TrustProxies [](#-trustproxies) Configures trusted proxies for applications running behind load balancers or CDNs. Required for `ForceHttpsScheme` and correct client IP detection to work reliably when the app sits behind a reverse proxy. Trusts `127.0.0.1` and `::1` by default. ### ✅ UnguardModels [](#-unguardmodels) Disables Laravel mass-assignment protection globally. Use only in safe, controlled environments such as internal tools, seeders, or closed systems. ### ✅ ViteAggressivePrefetching [](#-viteaggressiveprefetching) Enables aggressive chunk prefetching in Vite to reduce navigation latency in SPAs. --- License ------- [](#license) Laravel Basics is open-source software licensed under the **MIT license**.
