About Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:

• Simple, fast routing engine.
• Powerful dependency injection container.
• Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
• Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
• Database agnostic schema migrations.
• Robust background job processing.
• Real-time event broadcasting.

Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.

SmartStock AI

Full-stack inventory management with AI. Backend: Laravel 12 (PHP 8.2). Frontend: Next.js 16 (React 19). Docker-first dev environment.

• API (Laravel + PHP-FPM) on http://localhost:8080
• Web (Next.js) on http://localhost:3000
• PgAdmin on http://localhost:5050

Read this in Portuguese: README.pt-BR.md

Quick start (Docker)

Prerequisites: Docker Desktop 4.24+ and Compose V2.

1. Create environment file for containers (first time only):

cp .env.docker .env

2. Start everything:

./scripts/docker-up.sh

3. Open:

• API: http://localhost:8080
• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• PgAdmin: http://localhost:5050 (admin@admin.com / admin)

Common maintenance:

./scripts/migrate.sh          # Run migrations
./scripts/seed.sh             # Seed database
./scripts/clear.sh            # Clear Laravel caches
./scripts/docker-logs.sh      # Tail logs
./scripts/docker-restart.sh   # Restart services
./scripts/docker-down.sh      # Stop and remove containers/volumes

Local (without Docker)

If you prefer running locally:

Backend:

• PHP 8.2+, Composer, SQLite/Postgres
• Commands: composer install && cp .env.example .env && php artisan key:generate && php artisan migrate --seed && php artisan serve

Frontend:

• Node.js 20+, pnpm/yarn/npm
• Commands: cd public/smartstock-frontend && cp .env.local.example .env.local && npm i && npm run dev

Configuration

• Laravel uses Postgres in Docker. Defaults:
  • Host: postgres, Port: 5432, DB: smartstock_ai, User: smartuser, Pass: smartpass
• Frontend reads NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL (defaults to http://localhost:8080)
• CORS/Sanctum are configured for localhost:3000 and 8080 via .env.docker

Project structure

• backend (Laravel) at repository root
• frontend (Next.js) in public/smartstock-frontend
• Docker files under docker/ and helper scripts under scripts/

Testing

Run tests inside the app container:

docker compose exec -u www-data app php artisan test

Troubleshooting

• Port in use: Adjust published ports in docker-compose.yml
• 502 Bad Gateway: ensure app container is healthy and PHP-FPM is listening on 9000
• Migrations fail on first boot: re-run ./scripts/migrate.sh after Postgres is ready

Demo

Below are screenshots of the application (from the demo/ folder):

If images do not render on some platforms due to special characters in file names, consider renaming them (e.g., demo/dashboard.png, demo/inventory.png, demo/movements.png) and updating the paths above.
