Laravel Vue Starter Kit
=======================

[](#laravel-vue-starter-kit)

A clean, modern and opinionated Laravel starter kit built for speed, maintainability, and AI-assisted development. This starter kit combines the latest versions of Laravel with Inertia.js and Vue, enforcing best practices through strict TDD and the Action pattern.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
laravel new APPNAME --using=michaelsieminski/start-vue
```

Philosophy
----------

[](#philosophy)

This starter kit is designed with these core principles:

1. **Test-Driven Development (TDD)**: Every feature starts with a test. No exceptions.
2. **Action Pattern**: Business logic lives in dedicated Action classes, keeping controllers thin and logic reusable.

These conventions are enforced through comprehensive AI instructions, making this the perfect starter kit for AI-assisted development with Claude Code or OpenCode.
