FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package laravel-typewriter
laravel-typewriter
DDD-friendly unified TypeScript tooling for Laravel. One command generates:
- DataPacket types — a typed Back-to-Front transport envelope with defaults, metadata, and source/target routing
- DTO / Value Object types — from laravel-data
Dataclasses, plain DTOs, and value objects - Route types — via laravel/wayfinder (optional)
Powered by spatie/laravel-typescript-transformer under the hood.
Installation

Publish the TypeScript DataPacket utility class:
The DataPacket pattern
DataPacket is a typed envelope for passing data from PHP to the frontend. It gives you:
- Typed payload (
data) — a laravel-dataDataobject, or an untyped array for convenience - Per-key defaults (
defaults) — validated against the keys indataso stale defaults can't sneak in - Metadata (
meta) — out-of-band context (pagination, permissions, flags) - Global fallback (
default) — a single value for when the whole packet has no specific match - Source / target routing (
source,target) — BackedEnum scalars that tell the frontend where data came from and where it's going, without magic strings on either side
Convenience mode (untyped)
Use DataPacket directly when you don't need end-to-end type safety:
TypeScript receives DataPacket where data is Record<string, unknown>.
Typed mode (end-to-end type safety)
Scaffold a typed packet + its companion Data class:
This creates two files:
Use it in your controller:

Source groups
Configure which directories to scan in config/typewriter.php:
Transformer chain
For each source group, typewriter runs a single typescript-transformer pipeline:
| Priority | Transformer | Handles |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DataPacketTransformer |
Typed DataPacket subclasses |
| 2 | DataClassTransformer |
laravel-data Data classes |
| 3 | EnumTransformer |
BackedEnums (source/target routing) |
| 4 | PlainClassTransformer |
Plain VOs, DTOs, any non-abstract class |
Classes that no transformer matches are silently skipped.
Commands
Output
Marking classes for export
laravel-data Data classes — add #[TypeScript]:
Plain classes — no attribute needed. Any public typed property or @property PHPDoc tag in a scanned directory is picked up automatically.
DataPacket subclasses — no attribute needed. The DataPacketTransformer detects them by class hierarchy.
BackedEnums — put them in the enums directories of the packets source group:
