The skeleton application for the Laravel framework.

#Laravel Starter Kit

Laravel Starter Kit is my strict Laravel skeleton - for those who demand meticulous precision in their projects.

Tools like PHPStan, Pest, Rector, Pint, and Prettier are pre-configured to be as strict as possible. E.g: 100% type and code coverage, PHPStan level max, Rector with max privatization, and more...

Requires PHP 8.4+.
