Built on top of [Nuno Maduro's Laravel Starter Kit (Maintained by me)](https://github.com/nunomaduro/laravel-starter-kit-inertia-vue), this kit extends it with Wayfinder, Laravel Data, and unplugin-auto-import to provide a Nuxt-like developer experience when writing Vue code within a Laravel Inertia application. Tech Stack ---------- [](#tech-stack) **Backend:** PHP 8.4+, Laravel 13, Inertia.js v3, Spatie Laravel Data **Frontend:** Vue 3, shadcn-vue, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4 **Type Generation:** Laravel Wayfinder (auto-generated route & action types), Spatie Laravel Data (auto-generated DTO types) **DX Tooling:** unplugin-auto-import (Nuxt-style auto imports for Vue APIs and composables) **Code Quality:** PHPStan (level 9), Rector, Pint, Vite Plus, oxlint, oxfmt, Pest v5 (100% coverage) Local Development ----------------- [](#local-development) > **Requires [PHP 8.4+](https://php.net/releases/), [npm](https://nodejs.org/) or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/), and a code coverage driver like [Xdebug](https://xdebug.org/docs/install).** ### Installation [](#installation) ``` composer create-project joshdonnell/laravel-starter-kit-vue --prefer-dist example-app cd example-app ``` ### Setup [](#setup) ``` # Install dependencies and configure the project composer setup # Start the development server (Laravel, queue, logs, and vite plus) composer dev ``` ### Optional: Browser Testing [](#optional-browser-testing) If you plan to use Pest's browser testing capabilities: ``` # npm npm install playwright && npx playwright install # pnpm pnpm add playwright && pnpx playwright install ``` ### Verify Installation [](#verify-installation) ``` composer test ``` You should see 100% test coverage and all quality checks passing. Available Commands ------------------ [](#available-commands) ### Development [](#development) - `composer dev` — Starts Laravel server, queue worker, log monitoring, and Vite dev server concurrently ### Code Quality [](#code-quality) - `composer lint` — Runs Rector (refactoring), Pint (PHP formatting), and oxfmt (JS/TS formatting) - `composer test:lint` — Dry-run mode for CI/CD pipelines ### Testing [](#testing) - `composer test:type-coverage` — Ensures 100% type coverage with Pest - `composer test:types` — Runs PHPStan at level 9 (maximum strictness) - `composer test:unit` — Runs Pest tests with 100% code coverage requirement - `composer test` — Runs the complete suite (type coverage, unit tests, linting, static analysis) ### Maintenance [](#maintenance) - `composer update:requirements` — Updates all PHP and NPM dependencies to latest versions Code Style ---------- [](#code-style) This project enforces a strict, automated code style across both PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript: - **PHP:** Laravel Pint for formatting, Rector for automated refactoring and modernisation - **JS/TS/Vue:** oxlint for linting, oxfmt for formatting - **Types:** 100% type coverage enforced on both PHP (PHPStan level 9) and TypeScript (strict mode) Run `composer lint` to auto-fix formatting across the entire codebase. Code Standards -------------- [](#code-standards) - **Actions-Oriented Architecture:** Every operation is encapsulated in a single-action class - **Cruddy by Design:** Standardised CRUD operations for all controllers, actions, and Inertia pages - **Immutable-First:** Data structures favour immutability to prevent unexpected mutations - **Fail-Fast:** Errors are caught at compile-time through strict static analysis, not at runtime - **Strict Laravel Defaults:** Strict models, auto eager loading, immutable dates via [Essentials](https://github.com/nunomaduro/essentials) - **AI Guidelines:** Integrated AI guidelines to assist in maintaining code quality and consistency Testing ------- [](#testing-1) The project uses [Pest](https://pestphp.com) with a full testing suite of 150+ tests. The following standards are enforced: - **100% code coverage** — the test suite will fail if coverage drops below 100% - **100% type coverage** — every method, property, and parameter must be explicitly typed - **Static analysis** — PHPStan at level 9 (maximum strictness) Run the full suite with: ``` composer test ``` Or run individual checks: ``` composer test:unit # Unit & feature tests composer test:types # PHPStan static analysis composer test:type-coverage # Type coverage check composer test:lint # Linting dry-run ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome from everyone!
