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 & React 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 - **Just Better Laravel Defaults**: Configured App Defaults / 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/) 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 vinrish/laravel-inertia-react-starter-kit --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: ``` pnpm add playwright pnpx 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 Inertia React** was created by **[Vincent Kariuki](https://x.com/vinrishtechnologies)** under the **[MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)**. ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 86% of packages Maintenance91 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
