README

I was tired of configuring the same boilerplate every time I started a new Laravel project, so I've built my own opinionated React starter kit over the original one.

Original features

• Built-in Laravel authentication with all Fortify features enabled by default, including passkeys
• SPA experience with React

Enhancements beyond original starter kit

• UUIDs for all models
• Soft delete on Users model
• User profile picture a.k.a. avatar
• Email verification enabled by default
• User email invitations powered by spatie/laravel-welcome-notification
• User activity logging powered by spatie/laravel-activitylog with preconfigured one-year cleanup
• Role-Based Access Control powered by spatie/laravel-permission
• i18n with browser auto-detection powered by react-i18next and component for manual change. Available languages:
  1. Brazilian Portuguese
  2. English

A few UI/UX features

• Infinite scroll list schema created with reusable component
• Unified navigation links for both header and sidebar layouts
• Rich colors: shadcn sonner with richColors enabled by default

Installation

Through the Laravel Installer:

laravel new my-app --using=mlmendes/laravel-react-starter-kit

Or via composer:

composer create-project mlmendes/laravel-react-starter-kit

Roadmap

• Multi-level tenancy: Architecture to support a single application serving multiple clients, where clients can also manage their own sub-clients.
