\*\*Codeforlife - The Missing Laravel Admin
===========================================

[](#codeforlife---the-missing-laravel-admin)

Made with ❤️ by [The Control Group](https://www.thecontrolgroup.com)

[![Voyager Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-control-group/voyager/gh-pages/images/screenshot.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-control-group/voyager/gh-pages/images/screenshot.png)

---

Laravel Admin &amp; BREAD System (Browse, Read, Edit, Add, &amp; Delete), made for Laravel 5.3.

After creating your new Laravel application you can include the Voyager package with the following command:

```
composer require nch/codeforlife
```

Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:

```
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

```

Add the Codeforlife service provider to the `config/app.php` file in the `providers` array:

```
'providers' => [
    // Laravel Framework Service Providers...
    //...

    // Package Service Providers
    NCH\Codeforlife\CodeforlifeServiceProvider::class,
    // ...

    // Application Service Providers
    // ...
],
```

Lastly, we can install codeforlife. You can do this either with or without dummy data. The dummy data will include 1 admin account (if no users already exists), 1 demo page, 4 demo posts, 2 categories and 7 settings.

To install Codeforlife without dummy simply run

```
php artisan codeforlife:install
```

If you prefer installing it with dummy run

```
php artisan codeforlife:install --with-dummy
```

And we're all good to go!

Start up a local development server with `php artisan serve` And, visit .

If you did go ahead with the dummy data, a user should have been created for you with the following login credentials:

> **email:** `admin@admin.com`**password:** `password`

NOTE: Please note that a dummy user is **only** created if there are no current users in your database.

If you did not go with the dummy user, you may wish to assign admin priveleges to an existing user. This can easily be done by running this command:

```
php artisan codeforlife:admin your@email.com
```

If you did not install the dummy data and you wish to create a new admin user you can pass the `--create` flag, like so:

```
php artisan codeforlife:admin your@email.com --create
```

And you will be prompted for the users name and password.
