Ship

Taylor Otwell said at the 2025 Laracon EU "We must ship".

He also made a demo of the new starter kits for Livewire, React and Vue. They are really nice but like Breeze they lack some features and it's normal, they are starter kits after all. So I built Ship.

Ship is a quick way to bootstrap our applications with configuration and features that we all need like Larastan, Rector, Content Security Policy, oAuth connection, Two way authentication, Sessions management, Tenant management for SaaS and basic configurations.

Ship doesn't contains things like Horizon, Telescope, Solo, Pulse and others because those package are really simple to install, we just need to require them with Composer and use their installation command.

[!NOTE] Ship is a set of files and lines of code that I add to each of my projects manually... boring. It comes from other developers, other packages and me, it's a bunch of good stuff.

What Ship can do for us?

• Choose the right stack (livewire, react, volt, vue)
• Configure our AppServiceProvider (immutable dates, vite prefetching, password rules, etc.)
• Change the COOKIE_SESSION env variable to an uuid
• Change the layout logo name from "Laravel Starter kit" to your app name
• Ready the .env.example for production
• Remove Laravel config files (optionable)
• Add the session flash data to the Inertia middleware when using React or Vue
• Configure Content Security Policy with the Spatie package (optionable)
• Configure API management feature with Sanctum for your users (like we have on Jetstream) (optionable)
• Configure a sessions management feature for your users (like we have on Jetstream) (optionable)
• Configure a tenant management feature for your users (like we have on Jetstream but you can choose the name of the model) (optionable)
• Install Socialite (optionable)
• Install Larastan already configured (optionable)
• Install Rector already configured (optionable)

Every files are dropped in our applications, Ship is just an installation command with some stubs.

Coming soon

• Tests with Pest and PHPUnit
• Views in Livewire, React and Vue for Socialite connections
• Two Factor Authentication

If you have more ideas don't hesitate to write an issue or even write a pull request, I would be glad to discuss about it.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require --dev axeldotdev/ship

Then you just need to run the installation command:

php artisan ship:install

[!TIP] You can remove the package when you are done. It's just an installation command.
