About the Starter Kit

This is NiftyCo's opinionated Laravel starter kit. It is the defacto starting point for any NiftyCo project built on Laravel, pre-configured with the tooling, conventions, and defaults we reach for on every project.

What's included out of the box:

• Laravel 13 on PHP 8.5.
• Pest 4 for testing, with the Laravel plugin pre-wired.
• Pint for PHP code style.
• Vite 8 and Tailwind CSS 4 for the frontend, with TypeScript ready to go.
• Node 24 and npm 11.3 pinned via engines.

Getting Started

Scaffold a new project with the Laravel installer:

laravel new my-app --using starter/laravel

Replace my-app with whatever you want to name your project.
