If you haven't already, make sure you have your local environment setup.

Local Environment Setup

• Set Up
  • MWI Laravel Setup
  • Run the Script
• Package Specific Setup
  • mwi/laravel-crud
  • mwi/laravel-forms
  • spatie/laravel-permission
• JavaScript Packages
  • Standard Packages
• Additional References and Guides

Set Up

We have an NPM package that handles the entire setup process

MWI Laravel Setup

cd ~/projects/
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
npm i mwi-laravel-setup

Run the Script

For instructions on the setup script visit MWI Laravel Setup

python setup.py -n -p

Aliases

For ease of use we'll add some composer scripts to our composer.json file.

"sniff": "phpcs -p ./app",
"sniff:fix": "phpcbf -p ./app",
"test": "phpunit",
"sniff:test": "composer sniff && phpunit"

The first just sniffs, second fixes the sniff errors it can, third runs phpunit tests and four sniffs and tests together.

JavaScript/CSS Assets

Always be sure to run the following command during a projects set up

npm install

We utilize laravel mix to handle the building of assets. Visit the MIX Documentation for more information.

Structure your assets by core, theme and application as necessary in the webpack.mix.js file.

// Theme Styles
mix.styles('resources/assets/css/theme.css', 'public/css/theme.css')

// Application Styles
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

// Core Scripts for Every Page
.scripts([
  // -- Your Core Scripts/Dependencies
  "resources/assets/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js",
  "resources/assets/js/main.js"
], 'public/js/core.js')

// Scripts for the Theme
.scripts([
  // -- Your Theme Scripts/Dependencies
  "node_modules/select2/dist/select2.js"
  "resources/assets/js/theme.js",
], 'public/js/theme.js')

// Application JavaScript
.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js/app.js')

.sourceMaps();

Standard Packages

These packages are on an as need basis. If a theme was incorporated they may not be necessary.

For masking inputs

npm install inputmask

For form validation

npm install parsleyjs

For select dropdowns/multiselects

npm install select2

For card based layouts
