A set of code snippets and functions to use across all projects.

This package contains some modifications made over a fresh installation of Laravel >= 5.3.

With time, this package would contain all modifications of the bare Laravel app. In other words, as soon as you include this package in your composer.json, you will get fully working starter kit.

Current version:

Features

3. Publish views, css & jQuery files to your app:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Unrulynatives\Helpers\HelpersServiceProvider" --force

use UserExtensions;`

5. Register trait in other models In your model file declare: `use Unrulynatives\Helpers\ModelExtensions;

class [your-model-name-goes-here] extends Authenticatable {

use ModelExtensions;`

6. You need to register the routes defined in this package. Open \app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php and

• add $this->mapUnstarterRoutes(); to the map() function and
• add the below code at the bottom of mapWebRoutes() fucntion:

    protected function mapUnstarterRoutes()
    {
        Route::group([
            'middleware' => 'web',
            'namespace' => $this->namespace,
        ], function ($router) {
            require base_path('unstarter/routes/unstarter.php');
        });
