README

Laravel TALL Starter Kit is fork of nunomaduro strict Laravel skeleton - for those who demand meticulous precision in their projects.

Tools like PHPStan, Pest, Rector, Pint, and Prettier are pre-configured to be as strict as possible. E.g: 100% type and code coverage, PHPStan level max, Rector with max privatization, and more...

Requires PHP 8.4+.

Differences

Modifications from upstream include:

TALL stack (TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire) by default.
Removed php artisan:make action from NunoMaduro\Essentials in favor of lorisleiva/laravel-actions.
Removed Commercial AI (Cursor, Junie, etc) in favor of sst/opencode.
Added livewire/flux (PRO) Livewire Components.
