Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/signals-rental/framework.git
cd framework
composer setup
composer setup installs dependencies, generates an app key, builds frontend assets, and launches the install wizard.
Three commands get you running:
| Step | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | composer setup |
Install dependencies, generate app key, build frontend |
| 2 | php artisan signals:install |
Configure database, Redis, S3, and websockets |
| 3 | php artisan signals:setup |
Set up company, stores, branding, and admin account |
Development
Start all services concurrently:
composer dev
This runs the web server, queue worker, log viewer, Vite dev server, and Reverb websocket server.
Testing
php artisan test --parallel
Linting
vendor/bin/pint # fix formatting
