README

Boilerplate for Laravel packages. Use it as a starting point for your own Laravel packages.

Includes PHPUnit and PHPCodeSniffer configuration, as well as a known good Travis CI configuration and a couple of base test cases. Uses orchestra/testbench as the basis of the provided base test.

Also includes my Artisan Standalone package as a development dependency. As a result, you should be able to run Artisan commands as follows:

vendor/bin/artisan make:model Example

How do I use it?

Step 1

composer create-project matthewbdaly/laravel-package-boilerplate <YOUR_NEW_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY>

This will generate a starting boilerplate for your app.

Step 2

You'll want to update your composer.json with your required namespace and other details - you can do this by running

 vendor/bin/artisan app:name InsertYourProjectNameHere

Test cases

The package includes three test cases:

• TestCase - Effectively the normal Laravel test case. Use it the same way you would your normal Laravel test case
• SimpleTestCase - Extends the default PHPUnit test case, so it doesn't set up a Laravel application, making it quicker and well-suited to properly isolated unit tests
• BrowserKitTestCase - Sets up BrowserKit
