Starting point for Laravel package development. This is developed for Laravel 5.6 and up.

What this package comes with:

Migrations
Model/Controllers
Routes/Views
Webpack / Laravel Mix / VueJS 
PHPUnit

Getting Started

In your laravel installation root directory, create folder packages/se468, and run composer install

In your laravel installation root directory, in composer.json, add the package namespace:

"psr-4": {
    "App\\": "app/",
    "se468\\PackageBoilerplate\\" : "packages/se468/laravel-package-boilerplate/src"
}

In config/app.php, in the providers array, add

se468\PackageBoilerplate\PackageServiceProvider::class,

Run these commands to set up the dependencies:

composer install

Go to route /package-boilerplate and see if you see Hello world. If you did, congratulations!

Setting up webpack and laravel-mix

In your package directory, run the following commands.

npm install
npm install webpack -D

Now try running:

npm run dev

and check if it creates compiled js/css in public directory.

Then, run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public --force to publish your assets.

Rename

Rename everything to match your own:

• Your Github ID - example: se468
• PackageNamespace - example: LaravelPackageBoilerplate
• Your Package Folder - example: laravel-package-boilerplate

Checklist Inside Laravel:

1. composer.json
2. config/app.php

For your package:

1. Rename packages/se468 to your own github id
2. PackageServiceProvider
3. composer.json
4. anywhere else you need to change

Remove any features you don't need from the boilerplate.
