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: - **100% Type Coverage**: Every method, property, and parameter is explicitly typed - **Zero Tolerance for Code Smells**: Rector and PHPStan 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... 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 8.4+](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 --prefer-dist example-app ``` ### Initial Setup [](#initial-setup) Navigate to your project and complete the setup: ``` cd example-app # Setup 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 License ------- [](#license) **Laravel Starter Kit** was created by **[Nuno Maduro](https://x.com/enunomaduro)** under the **[MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)**. ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance89 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community29 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 80.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~8 days Recently: every ~30 days Total 19 Last Release 83d ago PHP version history (3 changes)v1.0.0PHP ^8.4 v1.1.3PHP ^8.4.0 v1.4.0PHP ^8.5.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/86cfef5c1f5195df1a9db17a5f8ecb34455e1f0133a725de9acf7f2fb26ac6a1?d=identicon)[nunomaduro](/maintainers/nunomaduro) --- Top Contributors [![nunomaduro](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5457236?v=4)](https://github.com/nunomaduro "nunomaduro (143 commits)")[![joshdonnell](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/17536271?v=4)](https://github.com/joshdonnell "joshdonnell (16 commits)")[![Sairahcaz](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7384870?v=4)](https://github.com/Sairahcaz "Sairahcaz (4 commits)")[![sajjadhossainshohag](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/63788037?v=4)](https://github.com/sajjadhossainshohag "sajjadhossainshohag (2 commits)")[![MrPunyapal](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/53343069?v=4)](https://github.com/MrPunyapal "MrPunyapal (2 commits)")[![hammadzafar05](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/75698921?v=4)](https://github.com/hammadzafar05 "hammadzafar05 (2 commits)")[![SHJordan](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/884602?v=4)](https://github.com/SHJordan "SHJordan (1 commits)")[![VladimirBerezkin](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/905196?v=4)](https://github.com/VladimirBerezkin "VladimirBerezkin (1 commits)")[![Coderberg](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/36998159?v=4)](https://github.com/Coderberg "Coderberg (1 commits)")[![WendellAdriel](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11641518?v=4)](https://github.com/WendellAdriel "WendellAdriel (1 commits)")[![devhoussam1998](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/121255432?v=4)](https://github.com/devhoussam1998 "devhoussam1998 (1 commits)")[![kylemilloy](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15757117?v=4)](https://github.com/kylemilloy "kylemilloy (1 commits)")[![marekmiklusek](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/112761697?v=4)](https://github.com/marekmiklusek "marekmiklusek (1 commits)")[![Noah-Wilderom](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/61543656?v=4)](https://github.com/Noah-Wilderom "Noah-Wilderom (1 commits)")[![rogerguasch](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6397664?v=4)](https://github.com/rogerguasch "rogerguasch (1 commits)") --- Tags frameworklaravel ### Code Quality TestsPest Static AnalysisPHPStan, Rector Code StyleLaravel Pint ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/vest-kits-laravel/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/vest-kits-laravel/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/vest-kits-laravel) ``` ### Alternatives [codewithdennis/larament Larament is a time-saving starter kit to quickly launch Laravel 13.x projects.
