Laravel Init

A Laravel package that bootstraps your project with preconfigured development tools via a single artisan command.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.3
• Laravel ^12.0

Installation

composer require dev-to-geek/laravel-init --dev

Usage

php artisan laravel-init:install

This command will automatically install and configure the following tools:

• Laravel Pint -- Automated code formatting (with pint.json config).
• Larastan -- PHPStan + Larastan static analysis (with phpstan.neon.dist config).
• Pest PHP -- Modern testing framework with Mockery, Laravel and Livewire plugins.
• Laravel Pail -- Real-time log viewer.
• Rector -- Automated code refactoring (with rector.php config).
• Laravel Boost -- MCP Server for AI-assisted development.

No manual setup is required; everything is ready to use after running the command.

Options

--only -- Install specific tools

Install only the tools you need instead of the full suite:

# Install only Pint and Larastan
php artisan laravel-init:install --only=pint --only=larastan

# Install only Pest
php artisan laravel-init:install --only=pest

Valid tool names: pint, larastan, pest, pail, rector, boost.

--force -- Overwrite existing configuration files

By default, existing configuration files (pint.json, phpstan.neon.dist, rector.php) are not overwritten. Use --force to replace them:

php artisan laravel-init:install --force

--remove-me -- Self-uninstall after setup

Remove the laravel-init package from your project after all tools have been installed:

php artisan laravel-init:install --remove-me

Suggested composer scripts

After installation, you can add these scripts to your composer.json:

"scripts": {
    "test": "@php artisan test",
    "test-coverage": "@php artisan test --parallel --coverage",
    "analyse": "vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=2G",
    "format": "vendor/bin/pint",
    "refactor": "vendor/bin/rector"
}
