It's kind of similar to Laravel, but with a structure and context that suited my needs and taste in a better way!... While the public views are more or less up to the developer itself, I decided to use the free version of [Soft UI Dashboard from creative tim](https://www.creative-tim.com/product/soft-ui-dashboard) for the backend dashboard, simply because it's really easy to use! It has lots of cool ui elements and the best part of it?! It's 100% free - Even for commercial apps 😊 So you are good there 👌... Although it comes with an MIT license, so please bear that in mind whenever you make any changes to the code. **But I highly recommend** any users of Element3 to check out their [Pro version](https://www.creative-tim.com/product/soft-ui-dashboard-pro) 👀đŸ“ĸ It's really cool, and it comes with a lot of extra cool features... Or else feel free to switch to your own template if you like. (I left the theme as a .zip folder under 'src/assets/themes') đŸ’Ŧ Usage ======= [](#speech_balloon-usage) Open up the terminal and type the command below, to see a list of all the commands Element cli has to offer... ``` $ php element ``` For example, this command will launch the app on the built-in webserver ``` $ php element app:serve ``` But please try it out for yourself! 🚀 It has loads of cool features 😎 Testing ======= [](#testing) ``` $ phpunit ``` 🔗 Contributing ============== [](#link-contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. 👮 Security ========== [](#cop-security) If you discover any security related issues, please email [stefan@korfitz.com](mailto:stefan@korfitz.com?subject=%5BSECURITY%5D%20Config%20Security%20Issue) directly, instead of using the issue tracker. ✔ī¸ Source ========= [](#heavy_check_mark-source) Element was inspired and put together from these courses over at [codecourse.com](http://codecourse.com) 1.
