TALLium

A streamlined TALL stack starter kit for Laravel, built on Livewire single-file components. Forked from the official Laravel Livewire starter kit and refined for clarity -- especially when working with AI coding agents.

What's Included

  • Laravel 13 with Fortify authentication (login, registration, password reset, email verification, two-factor auth)
  • Livewire 4 with single-file page components (Route::livewire())
  • Flux UI component library
  • Tailwind CSS 4 with dark mode
  • TypeScript and Vite

What Changed From the Official Starter Kit

TALLium consolidates the official starter kit to reduce pattern variability and improve AI coding clarity:

  • Single layout per context -- one app.blade.php (authenticated), one auth.blade.php (auth forms), one guest.blade.php (public). No layout variants (sidebar/header, card/simple/split).
  • Layouts are self-contained -- each layout is a complete HTML document. No scattered partials to trace through.
  • Pages live in resources/views/pages/ -- routed via Route::livewire() or Route::view(). Consistent, predictable file locations.
  • Routes consolidated into routes/web.php -- no separate routes/settings.php.
  • Dynamic brand logo -- generates a monogram from config('app.name') instead of a hardcoded SVG.
  • Removed app/Livewire/Actions/ -- logout is handled inline. Less indirection.

Getting Started

# Clone and install
laravel new my-app --using=smwks/tallium

The composer setup script handles: dependency installation, .env creation, key generation, database migration, npm install, and asset build.

Development Server

composer dev

Starts the Laravel dev server, queue worker, log tail (Pail), and Vite in parallel.

Default test credentials (from seeder):

Other Commands

composer lint          # Fix code style with Pint
composer lint:check    # Check code style without fixing
composer test          # Run linter + test suite
