FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

About

This project is an application starter kit. It's an alternative to Laravel Breeze and Laravel Jetstream that uses the BALL stack (Bootstrap, Any-javascript-library-you-want, Laravel, Livewire). It provides the same features they do (auth, profile management, etc) with a simpler tech stack, fewer dependencies and better code organization (arguably).

Key differences from Laravel Breeze & Laravel Jetstream:

✅ uses Bootstrap 5 instead of Tailwind CSS;
✅ has a clean, modern, generic design and 300+ HTML components thanks to the Tabler HTML template;
✅ does not use NPM, Webpack, Mix, etc - you can use any JS library you want, or none at all; you can even use assets straight from the CDN (both in development and production), and Basset will download and serve them from the same server;
✅ has a simple, organized codebase, with a lot of comments and explanations;
✅ has clear docs on how to build on top of it;
✅ has a full test suite, that you can add to;

It's something that we've built to scratch our own itch, because we need to create many new Laravel SaaS projects from scratch. We've made it public because there's nothing online that fixes the problem in a way we like, and we believe this can help other people save a lot of time and headache. If you use and like this project, please open an issue and tell us about it, the good and the bad - we love to know we helped.

Roadmap

Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available in the /docs directory:

Getting Started - Installation, configuration, and first steps
Architecture - BALL stack, directory structure, and design patterns
Features - Authentication, account settings, and other built-in features
Customization - How to extend the application with new pages and functionality
Components - Reusable components and how to use them
Testing - Test suite structure, tools, and best practices

These documents are designed to become your own project documentation once you start using this starter kit.

Asset Management

The starter kit loads Tabler CSS and JS files from CDNs for development convenience, but uses Basset to internalize these assets for production. This approach:

Provides the convenience of working with CDNs during development
Protects your application from privacy/GDPR issues in production
Ensures your application works even if the CDNs are down
Improves load times by serving assets from your own server

To use Basset for your own assets, see the Basset documentation.

Installation

You can install the BALL Starter Kit in one of three ways:

Option 1: Using the Laravel Installer (Recommended)

Option 2: Using Composer Create-Project

Option 3: Cloning the Repository

After installation, regardless of the method used:

Configure your .env file with your database credentials and other settings
Run php artisan key:generate (if not already done by the installer)
Run php artisan migrate
Start the development server with php artisan serve

FAQ

What is the BALL Stack?

The BALL stack is a series of tech choices that we prefer to make, when building Laravel projects. The acronym comes from Bootstrap, Any-javascript-library, Laravel and Livewire. When compared with other popular stacks like VILT and TALL, it's more similar to the TALL stack, with a few differences: - it uses good-old-fashioned Bootstrap instead of Tailwind; - it doesn't use NPM, bundling, compiling etc; instead it just loads the CSS & JS using simple `` and `
