L4-Starter

This is my starter kit for Laravel 4 applications.

What It Includes

• Sentry: for authentication & authorization system.
• Intervention Image: for image manipulation needs.
• Bourbon: Although most cases are already covered with Autoprefixer, this is still a very good Sass mixin library to have.
• Bootstrap: I really should not use CSS frameworks but I work faster with Bootstrap, so...
• jQuery: Still #teamjQuery.
• Gulp: I find it much faster than Grunt.
• FontAwesome: I might load it from CDN on production though.

Get Started

• Change AppName in composer.json, app/start/global.php, app/AppName/Services/Validation/Validator.php and the AppName directory in app folder to your application name.
• Change username in app/database/seeds/SentrySeeder.php if you want.
• Run composer install in /app root.
• Run php artisan key:generate.
• Run npm install in /public folder to install Gulp and its plugins.
• Run chmod -R 777 app/storage.
• Optionally, run chmod -R 777 public/uploads if you want to have an upload folder for user-generated-content.
