About

Developers are lazy. No, I’m not kidding—they work hard to create systems that help them avoid more work in the future. Especially, repetitive work. And there are quite extreme examples now—we don’t need to write code anymore; it is being generated for us. laravelDash is a beautifully designed administration panel for Laravel. It offers additonal features including Charts, Panel Management, Settings , Payment System and more.

Installation

Before you install laravelDash, you should check to make sure that your system has the proper prerequisites installed. These include

1. Laravel Framework 5.4+
2. Composer
3. Laravel Mix
4. Node.js & NPM

laravelDash is super easy to install. After creating your new Laravel application you can include the package with the following command:

              
                $ composer require yal/laraveldash
              
            

Configuration

Firstly, make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file :

              
                APP_URL=http://localhost
                DB_HOST=localhost
                DB_DATABASE=homestead
                DB_USERNAME=homestead
                DB_PASSWORD=secret
              
            

laravelDash will automatically register its service provider if you are using Laravel >=5.5. If you are using Laravel dashboard with Laravel 5.3 or 5.4, add Laravel dashboard's service provider in your application's config/app.php file:

              
                /*
                |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                | Autoloaded Service Providers
                |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                |
                | The service providers listed here will be automatically loaded on the
                | request to your application. Feel free to add your own services to
                | this array to grant expanded functionality to your applications.
                |
                */
                'providers' => [ yal\laraveldash\Providers\DashboardServiceProvider::class, ]
              
            

Next, you need to publish the laraveldash configuration file:

              
                php artisan vendor:publish --provider="yal\laraveldash\Providers\DashboardServiceProvider" --tag="config"
              
            

This is the default content of the config file that will be published as config/laraveldash.php:

Defining Relationships

Database tables are often related to one another. For example, a blog post may have many comments, or an order could be related to the user who placed it. Eloquent makes managing and working with these relationships easy. so go to App\User.php and add UserRelation.

              
                  namespace App; 
                  use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; 
                  use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; 
                  use yal\laraveldash\Traits\UserRelation; 
                  class User extends Authenticatable { 
                      use Notifiable,UserRelation; 
                  }
              
            

Routing

After running php artisan route:list you will see a few new routes that have been added to your project which look like the following:

Defining Resources

                php artisan laraveldash:resource {name}
