Laravel Webartisan

A beautiful, modern browser-based terminal for running Laravel Artisan commands. Zero dependencies on the frontend, just works.

Features

• Run any Artisan command from your browsers
• Tab completion for command names
• Command history with up/down arrow navigation
• 4 built-in themes: Dark, Light, Monokai, Dracula
• Security: Environment restriction, Gate authorization, command allow/block lists
• Wildcard patterns for command filtering (migrate:*, db:*)
• Artisan install command for quick setup
• Zero configuration needed - works out of the box
• Supports Laravel 10, 11, and 12

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x

Installation

composer require emir/laravel-webartisan --dev

The package uses Laravel's auto-discovery, so the service provider is registered automatically.

Run the install command to publish config and assets:

php artisan webartisan:install

That's it! Visit /webartisan in your browser.

Manual Publishing

If you prefer to publish resources individually:

# Config file
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=webartisan-config

# Frontend assets
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=webartisan-assets

# Blade views (for customization)
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=webartisan-views

Configuration

After publishing, the config file is located at config/webartisan.php:

return [
    // Master switch
    'enabled' => env('WEBARTISAN_ENABLED', true),

    // Only available in these environments
    'enabled_environments' => ['local'],

    // URL prefix (accessible at /webartisan)
    'route_prefix' => env('WEBARTISAN_PREFIX', 'webartisan'),

    // Restrict to a specific domain
    'domain' => env('WEBARTISAN_DOMAIN', null),

    // Route middleware
    'middleware' => ['web'],

    // Gate-based authorization (see Security section)
    'gate' => null,

    // Only allow these commands (empty = all except blocked)
    'allowed_commands' => [],

    // Always block these commands
    'blocked_commands' => [
        'down', 'up', 'env', 'serve', 'tinker',
        'key:generate', 'migrate:fresh', 'migrate:reset',
        'db:wipe', 'db:seed', ...
    ],

    // Terminal theme: 'dark', 'light', 'monokai', 'dracula'
    'theme' => env('WEBARTISAN_THEME', 'dark'),
];

Usage

Terminal Commands

Type any Artisan command directly:

❯ route:list
❯ migrate:status
❯ make:model Post --migration --factory
❯ config:show database

Keyboard Shortcuts

Themes

Set the theme in your config or .env file:

WEBARTISAN_THEME=dracula

Available themes: dark (default), light, monokai, dracula.

Security

Webartisan is designed for development use only. Multiple security layers are built in:

1. Environment Restriction (Default)

By default, Webartisan is only available in the local environment:

'enabled_environments' => ['local'],

2. Master Switch

Disable completely via environment variable:

WEBARTISAN_ENABLED=false

3. Gate Authorization

For fine-grained access control, define a gate in your AppServiceProvider:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

Gate::define('viewWebartisan', function ($user) {
    return in_array($user->email, [
        'admin@example.com',
    ]);
});

Then enable it in the config:

'gate' => 'viewWebartisan',
'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'], // Add auth middleware

4. Custom Authorization

Use the Webartisan::auth() method in your AppServiceProvider:

use Emir\Webartisan\Webartisan;

Webartisan::auth(function ($request) {
    return $request->user()?->isAdmin() ?? false;
});

5. Command Allow/Block Lists

// Only allow specific commands
'allowed_commands' => ['route:list', 'migrate:status', 'queue:*'],

// Block dangerous commands (supports wildcards)
'blocked_commands' => ['db:*', 'migrate:fresh', 'tinker'],

6. Domain Restriction

Restrict to an internal domain:

WEBARTISAN_DOMAIN=admin.myapp.test

Testing

composer test
