Blender is the Laravel template that is used for (nearly) all our projects.

You may use our template but please notice that we offer no support whatsoever. We also don't follow semver for this project and won't guarantee that the code (especially the master branch) is stable. In short: when using this, you're on your own.

This guide assumes you're using Laravel Homestead

Download the master branch

git clone git@github.com:spatie-custom/blender.git

Edit your Homestead.yaml file and add Blender as a site

sites:
    - { map: blender.dev, to: /home/vagrant/Sites/blender/public }

Install the composer dependencies

composer install

Finally make sure you have a database named blender in Homestead, and run the migrations and seeds

php artisan migrate --seed

Installing Blender's npm dependecies requries NPM@3 of higher. Check your version to be sure.

npm -v

We use a custom npm registry at npm.spatie.be via Sinopia for our private packages.

npm set registry https://npm.spatie.be
npm set ca null

npm install

Don't forget to remove the registry line from your ~/.npmrc if you're planning to publish to npm at some point.

Run gulp help to see available options.

To get you started for both front and back-end assets, run:

gulp
gulp --back

Generally we won't accept any PR requests to Blender. If you have discovered a bug or have an idea to improve the code, contact us first before you start coding.
