Laravel Opinionated Boilerplate

An opinionated yet flexible Laravel boilerplate that stays out of your way while providing a solid foundation for modern web applications. Notably, it configures a lot of Laravel defaults that I always find myself going back to.

There is no UI scaffold, but React and Inertia.js are set up (to keep me happy). The rest is up to you.

Features

• 🚀 Laravel 11.x with PHP 8.2+
• ⚡ React 19 with TypeScript support
• 🔄 Inertia.js for seamless SPA-like experience
• 🐳 Docker-ready with Laravel Sail
• 📦 MinIO for S3-compatible object storage
• 🎨 Modern development tools:
  • Biome, PHPStan & Pint for linting and formatting
  • Vite for asset bundling
  • Rector for automated refactoring

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository (probably worth using npx degit).

2. Run initial setup:

   composer install
   bun install
   find ./docker -name "*.sh" -exec chmod +x {} \; # Make sail scripts executable
   cp .env.example .env

3. Start the development environment:

   ./vendor/bin/sail up -d
   bun run dev

4. Access your application at http://laravel.test/
