Local Development

We recommend using Laragon for easy local development. It provides a user-friendly interface and automatically sets up virtual hosts.

Email Testing

For email testing, we recommend using Mailtrap. Update your .env file with your Mailtrap credentials.

Continuous Integration

This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow for continuous integration. The workflow:

• Runs on push and pull requests to the main and docker branches
• Uses a matrix strategy to test across multiple configurations:
  • PHP versions: 8.2, 8.3
  • Laravel versions: 10.*, 11.*
  • Dependency versions: prefer-lowest, prefer-stable
• Sets up a MySQL database for testing
• Runs migrations and seeds the database
• Executes PEST tests
• Performs static analysis with PHPStan
• Checks code style with PHP Code Sniffer

To view or modify the workflow, check the .github/workflows/tests.yaml file in your repository.

Future Enhancements

Docker Support

We plan to add Docker support in the future for easier environment setup and consistency across different development machines.
