About Polar

Polar is a modern, streamlined Laravel starter kit built on top of Jetstream, crafted to help you launch your next idea faster. Featuring a clean design, powerful tools, and the flexibility you expect from Laravel, Polar is here to help you build with confidence and joy.

Learning Polar

Polar is built on top of Laravel, a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience for everyone. Laravel strives to be a framework that you will love using.

Laravel has the most extensive and thorough documentation and video tutorial library of all modern web application frameworks, making it a breeze to get started with the framework.

Getting Started

Install Polar using Composer:

composer create-project friendlylabs/polar

Then, install the dependencies using NPM:

npm install

Then, run the following command to build the assets:

npm run build

Finally, run the following command to start the development server:

php artisan db:seed # to seed the database, only run this command once
php artisan serve

You can now access the application at http://localhost:8000.

Theme Customization

Polar is designed to be easily customizable. You can change the theme colors, layout, and other design elements by modifying the .env file or directly the jetstream.php configuration file. You can also customize the theme by modifying the CSS files in the resources/css directory.

# preset: 'preset-1' to 'preset-18', these are pre made theme colors
JETSTREAM_THEME_PRESET=preset-12

# theme: 'light' or 'dark', default color scheme for the application
JETSTREAM_THEME_MODE=light

# layout: 'vertical', 'horizontal', 'compact', 'tab', 'color-header'
JETSTREAM_APP_LAYOUT=vertical
