**Laravel Starter Kit (Inertia &amp; Vue)** is an ultra-strict, type-safe [Laravel](https://laravel.com) skeleton engineered for developers who refuse to compromise on code quality. This opinionated starter kit enforces rigorous development standards through meticulous tooling configuration and architectural decisions that prioritize type safety, immutability, and fail-fast principles.

Why This Starter Kit?
---------------------

[](#why-this-starter-kit)

Modern PHP has evolved into a mature, type-safe language, yet many Laravel projects still operate with loose conventions and optional typing. This starter kit changes that paradigm by enforcing:

- **Fully Actions-Oriented Architecture**: Every operation is encapsulated in a single-action class
- **Cruddy by Design**: Standardized CRUD operations for all controllers, actions, and Inertia &amp; Vue pages
- **100% Type Coverage**: Every method, property, and parameter is explicitly typed
- **Zero Tolerance for Code Smells**: Rector, PHPStan, OxLint, and Oxfmt at maximum strictness catch issues before they become bugs
- **Immutable-First Architecture**: Data structures favor immutability to prevent unexpected mutations
- **Fail-Fast Philosophy**: Errors are caught at compile-time, not runtime
- **Automated Code Quality**: Pre-configured tools ensure consistent, pristine code across your entire team
- **Bun-Powered**: Leveraging Bun for blazing-fast dependency management...
- **Just Better Laravel Defaults**: Thanks to **[Essentials](https://github.com/nunomaduro/essentials)** / strict models, auto eager loading, immutable dates, and more...
- **AI Guidelines**: Integrated AI Guidelines to assist in maintaining code quality and consistency
- **Full Testing Suite**: More than 150 tests with 100% code coverage using Pest
-

This isn't just another Laravel boilerplate—it's a statement that PHP applications can and should be built with the same rigor as strongly-typed languages like Rust or TypeScript.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

> **Requires [PHP 8.5+](https://php.net/releases/), [Bun](https://bun.sh) and a code coverage driver like [xdebug](https://xdebug.org/docs/install)**.

Create your type-safe Laravel application using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer create-project nunomaduro/laravel-starter-kit-inertia-vue --prefer-dist example-app
```

### Initial Setup

[](#initial-setup)

Navigate to your project and complete the setup:

```
cd example-app

# Setup the project
composer setup

# Start the development server
composer dev
```

### Optional: Browser Testing Setup

[](#optional-browser-testing-setup)

If you plan to use Pest's browser testing capabilities:

```
bun add playwright
bunx playwright install
```

### Verify Installation

[](#verify-installation)

Run the test suite to ensure everything is configured correctly:

```
composer test
```

You should see 100% test coverage and all quality checks passing.

Available Tooling
-----------------

[](#available-tooling)

### 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 test suite (type coverage, unit tests, linting, static analysis)

### Maintenance

[](#maintenance)

- `composer update:requirements` - Updates all PHP and Bun dependencies to latest versions
