Gentelella for Laravel is here

[puikinsh]

Gentelella now has a Laravel edition, and it is the first of what I hope becomes a family.

composer require colorlibhq/gentelella-laravel
php artisan gentelella:install

What it is

Not a copy of the HTML into Blade files. It is a Composer package that gives you the same shell as a layout you extend, plus the parts a real Laravel app needs:

• The shell — @extends('gentelella::page') emits the same DOM this template does, so the compiled CSS applies unchanged. Sidebar, topbar, breadcrumbs and dark mode come with it.
• 25 Blade components — extracted from this template's own markup rather than designed fresh.
• A CRUD engine — describe a screen in one setup() method and get a list, a form, and working create/edit/delete. 14 column types, 28 field types, 4 filter types, CSV export, and php artisan gentelella:crud Product to generate a panel from your database schema.
• Server-side tables — search, sorting and paging happen in SQL, so a table with 100k rows behaves like one with 25.
• Auth screens — sign-in, registration and password reset, registered so they never shadow auth you already have.
• All 58 pages as a bundled demo you can serve from your own app, one of them backed by a real CRUD panel over seeded data.

Requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 13. MIT, same as this.

What changed here

The design system needed a few hooks to work as the front end of a server-rendered app, and they are all in the latest master. Nothing about this template's behaviour changed — every addition is inert unless a host opts in.

One of them was a genuine bug worth knowing about if you embed Gentelella in any server-rendered stack: main-v4.js called preventDefault() on every form submit. That is correct here, where all 13 demo forms have nowhere to post — but it silently swallowed real submissions. A form that names where it posts is now left alone.

Feedback wanted

It is v1.0.2 and nobody has used it in anger yet. The part most likely to want adjusting is the CRUD panel API — the columns() / fields() / filters() option names. If something reads wrong, now is the moment to say so, before people depend on it.

Which framework should come next? Vue, React, Django, Symfony? Tell me here.
