Laravel Tooling

Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)

Workflow: Set Up Development Tooling

1. Install Pint — composer require laravel/pint --dev; run ./vendor/bin/pint.
2. Configure Vite — Set up vite.config.js with Laravel plugin; add @vite() in Blade layout.
3. Create custom command — php artisan make:command SendNewsletters.
4. Add Horizon — composer require laravel/horizon; configure supervisors.

Custom Artisan Command Example

See implementation examples for Artisan command pattern and project structure.

Implementation Guidelines

Artisan Commands

• Customization: Use php artisan make:command SendNewsletters.
• Definitions: Define protected $signature = 'newsletters:send {--queue}'.
• Execution: Implement handle(): int. Commands auto-discovered in app/Console/Commands/.
• Scheduling: Schedule in bootstrap/app.php (formerly Kernel).

Asset Management (Vite)

• Scaffolding: Run npm install and configure vite.config.js with Laravel plugin.
• Blade Integration: Add @vite directive (@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])) to your layout.
• Migration: Use Vite (not Mix) — replace mix() with vite() in Blade templates and remove laravel-mix.
• Workflow: Run npm run dev for local HMR and npm run build for production. No manual versioning needed.

Code Quality & Monitoring

• Pint Styling: Enforce standards with composer require laravel/pint --dev.
• Usage: Run ./vendor/bin/pint to apply preset: 'laravel' configuration from pint.json.
• Queue Observability: Use composer require laravel/horizon. Run php artisan horizon:install and configure supervisors in config/horizon.php.
• Horizon Security: Set authentication gates in HorizonServiceProvider. Access via /horizon in browser.

Anti-Patterns

• No Laravel Mix: Migrate to Vite for faster HMR.
• No JS in Blade templates: Move scripts to resources/js.
• No manual DB edits: Use Artisan commands or migrations.
• No unstyled commits: Run ./vendor/bin/pint before merging.
