laravel-package-boilerplate
===========================

[](#laravel-package-boilerplate)

Boilerplate for Laravel packages. Use it as a starting point for your own Laravel packages.

Includes PHPUnit and PHPCodeSniffer configuration, as well as a known good Travis CI configuration and a couple of base test cases. Uses `orchestra/testbench` as the basis of the provided base test.

Also includes my [Artisan Standalone](https://github.com/matthewbdaly/artisan-standalone) package as a development dependency. As a result, you should be able to run Artisan commands as follows:

```
vendor/bin/artisan make:model Example
```

How do I use it?
----------------

[](#how-do-i-use-it)

###### Step 1

[](#step-1)

```
composer create-project matthewbdaly/laravel-package-boilerplate
```

This will generate a starting boilerplate for your app.

###### Step 2

[](#step-2)

You'll want to update your `composer.json` with your required namespace and other details - you can do this by running

```
 vendor/bin/artisan app:name InsertYourProjectNameHere
```

Test cases
----------

[](#test-cases)

The package includes three test cases:

- `TestCase` - Effectively the normal Laravel test case. Use it the same way you would your normal Laravel test case
- `SimpleTestCase` - Extends the default PHPUnit test case, so it doesn't set up a Laravel application, making it quicker and well-suited to properly isolated unit tests
- `BrowserKitTestCase` - Sets up BrowserKit
