The easiest way to get started is to create a new Veloquent project:
- Create a new Veloquent project
composer create-project veloquent/veloquent app-name
# The composer post-install script will automatically run 'php artisan velo:install',
# which handles migrations, assets, and initial tenant setup.- Start the server
php artisan serveThe server is now available at http://localhost:8000. For more information visit Quickstart Guide.
Starting with version 2.0, Veloquent has transitioned to a package-based architecture (veloquent/core). This change streamlines updates and allows for better integration into existing Laravel 13+ applications.
For users, installation via Composer remains unchanged. For developers, the Packagist namespace has been updated: veloquent/core is now used for the core package, while veloquent/veloquent provides the full project skeleton.
Please refer to TODO.md for the latest status and upcoming features.
