LaravelStark

LaravelStark is a opinionated starter kit Laravel with Filament skeleton that enforces rigorous development standards through meticulous tooling configuration and architectural decisions that prioritize type safety, immutability, and fail-fast principles.

Getting Started

Requires PHP 8.4+.

Create your type-safe Laravel application using Composer:

composer create-project dsolodev/laravelstark --prefer-dist example-app

Verify Installation

Run the test suite to ensure everything is configured correctly:

composer test

You should see 100% test coverage and all quality checks passing.

Available Tooling
