### What is Laravel Kickstart?

[](#what-is-laravel-kickstart)

---

Laravel Kickstart is a Laravel starter configuration that helps you build Laravel websites faster. It comes with an [Elixir](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/elixir) configuration, the latest versions of [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com) and [JQuery](https://jquery.com), a [Blade](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/blade) wrapper template, debug tools, and much more.

### Why Laravel Kickstart?

[](#why-laravel-kickstart)

---

Laravel is an amazing framework that lets you build scalable applications rapidly and professionally. However, when it comes time to tie in the front end, a lot of time is spent configuring views, stylesheets, and scripts. Laravel Kickstart aims to provide you with a front end workflow as advanced as Laravel's back end workflow, while tying both together seamlessly.

### Features

[](#features)

---

- **Gulp/Elixir Configuration:** Compile your Sass and JavaScript files with [Laravel Elixir](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/elixir). Your styles and scripts will automatically be combined with the project's Node dependencies and injected into the base Blade file.
- **DRY Philosophy:** Modularized Sass and JavaScript files out of the box to prevent repetitive front end code. A main.js file utilizes [DOM-based routing](http://www.paulirish.com/2009/markup-based-unobtrusive-comprehensive-dom-ready-execution/), while a highly organized Sass file structure (based on [Sage](https://roots.io/sage/)) breaks your styles into organized groups. Staying DRY never felt so good!
- **Blade Wrapper:** A base [Blade](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/blade) template that acts as a wrapper for all your pages automatically pulls in your styles and scripts and provides many sections to extend.
- **Enhanced Debugging:** Laravel Kickstart implements the [Whoops](https://github.com/filp/whoops) error handler and [Laravel Debugbar](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar) for advanced debugging in app debug mode.
- **Even More:** That's right. Read on to find out about the loads of other small features in Laravel Kickstart that make Laravel development even more streamlined.

### Installation
