**Codeforlife - The Missing Laravel Admin

Made with ❤️ by The Control Group

Laravel Admin & BREAD System (Browse, Read, Edit, Add, & Delete), made for Laravel 5.3.

After creating your new Laravel application you can include the Voyager package with the following command:

composer require nch/codeforlife

Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

Add the Codeforlife service provider to the config/app.php file in the providers array:

'providers' => [
    // Laravel Framework Service Providers...
    //...

    // Package Service Providers
    NCH\Codeforlife\CodeforlifeServiceProvider::class,
    // ...

    // Application Service Providers
    // ...
],

Lastly, we can install codeforlife. You can do this either with or without dummy data. The dummy data will include 1 admin account (if no users already exists), 1 demo page, 4 demo posts, 2 categories and 7 settings.

To install Codeforlife without dummy simply run

php artisan codeforlife:install

If you prefer installing it with dummy run

php artisan codeforlife:install --with-dummy

And we're all good to go!

Start up a local development server with php artisan serve And, visit http://localhost:8000/admin.

If you did go ahead with the dummy data, a user should have been created for you with the following login credentials:

email: admin@admin.com password: password

NOTE: Please note that a dummy user is only created if there are no current users in your database.

If you did not go with the dummy user, you may wish to assign admin priveleges to an existing user. This can easily be done by running this command:

php artisan codeforlife:admin your@email.com

If you did not install the dummy data and you wish to create a new admin user you can pass the --create flag, like so:

php artisan codeforlife:admin your@email.com --create

And you will be prompted for the users name and password.
