Update Laravel

[ijpatricio]

Hey @axonasif @Siddhant-K-code

I think we should update the Laravel scene on Gitpod.

Now, sqlite is default, so maybe this repo would redirect to a new one: template-php-laravel or template-laravel?

Then, there's another aspect: Laravel embraces frontend, and there's at least three main ones:

• Blade and Livewire
• Inertia/React
• Inertia/Vue

Is this something you would like to see reflected on starter templates, or the more simple just PHP?

Anyways, they all have JS, because of Tailwind compilation.

Hi @ijpatricio!

Thanks for bringing this up 🙌

I'm not fully sure what you're suggesting. Are you suggesting to rename the repository?

[ijpatricio]

Hi @axonasif

My pleasure!

Sorry I was confusing. I'll split it better, since I made a suggestion and a question 😅

1) Suggestion:

• On the latest version, Laravel defaults to using sqlite, so we should stop using MySQL on the template.
• We should rename the template: template-laravel
• Only after the code modification

2) Question:

• Laravel has a few options when it comes to starter kits. Should we add more templates, to cover also Laravel+Vue and Laravel+React ?

[ijpatricio]

Oh, still on 1)

• Can I start the upgrade for the latest version then?

[axonasif]

@ijpatricio that would be very much appreciated 🙏

Hey @axonasif , it's done in #16
However, because there's a suggestion to rename the repo to be consistent with what's inside, there's still a TODO task to do in README.md which is to update te "Open in Gitpod" button link.

Let me know what you think.

That's the easy part, just let me know when you need that to be done 🙌

Thanks again!

[axonasif]

@ijpatricio should I do it now?

[ijpatricio]

@axonasif yes please, go ahead, I will update right after

[axonasif]

@ijpatricio done!

[ijpatricio]

@axonasif awesome, thank you!

I ended up adding a preview to the README, do you like it or should I remove?

[axonasif]

@ijpatricio i think an image like that is always nice and intriguing!

[axonasif]

Thanks a ton @ijpatricio for keeping this template up to date 🙌
