About

Hi Crafter, welcome to the official documentation for Craftable 6 - a Laravel-based open-source toolkit for building administration interfaces. It's an administration area minimalistic template. A starting point for developing back-office systems, intranets or a CMS systems., _(*2)

, _(*3)

You could call it CMS, but it's a very slim one, with as little content to manage as possible. It has: - UI - nice admin template based on CoreUI (http://coreui.io/) - CRUD generator - Authorization, My profile & Users CRUD - Translations manager - other helpers to quickly bootstrap your new administration area (Media Library, Admin Listing, etc.), _(*4)

Demo

We have created a demo for you to play around at https://demo.getcraftable.com., _(*5)

Use these credentials to sign-in: - email: demo@getcraftable.com - password: demo123, _(*6)

You can see an administration of: - Posts - this is the standard CRUD generated with admin-generator package - Translatable Articles - this is the showcase for translatableeloquent models - Manage access - is a extended CRUD for the User (your existing eloquent model) management - Translations - where you can manage the translations stored in the database, _(*7)

Made of components

Our intent was to split all the stuff into several packages with as least dependencies as possible. This is what we're coming with at the moment: - Admin UI - admin template (CoreUI assets, blades, Vue) - Admin Generator - CRUD generator for Eloquent models - Admin Authentication - ability to authenticate into Admin area - Translatable - ability to have translatable content (extending Laravel's default Localization) - Admin Listing - ability to quickly build a query for administration listing for your Eloquent models - Media Library - ability to attach media to eloquent models - Admin Translations - translation manager (with UI), _(*8)

Craftable uses all the packages above. It also uses some other 3rd party packages (like Spatie's spatie/laravel-permission) and provides some basic default configuration to speed up a development of a typical administration interface., _(*9)

Requirements

Craftable requires: - PHP 7.4+ - Supported databases: - MySQL 5.7+ - PostgreSQL 9.5+ - npm 5.3+ - node 8.4+, _(*10)

Craftable uses Laravel so you should check out its requirements too. It is compatible with Laravel 8: - https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#server-requirements, _(*11)

Installation

New Craftable project

If you want to start on fresh Laravel, you can use our brackets/craftable-installer that do all the tricks for you. Let's install it globally:, _(*12)

composer global require "brackets/craftable-installer"

Create an empty database of your choice (PostgreSQL or MySQL)., _(*13)

Now you can create a new Craftable project:, _(*14)

craftable new my_project

This will install Craftable using latest Laravel version (currently 6). If you prefer tu use latest LTS Laravel version (currently also 6), use --lts flag:, _(*15)

craftable new --lts my_project

The commands is going to ask for a database settings and then it will setup everything (install all dependencies, publish all important vendor configs, migrate, setup some configs, webpack config and run migrations)., _(*16)

Command is going to generate and print the password for the default administrator account. Save this password to your clipboard, we are going to need it soon., _(*17)

Add Craftable to existing project

Or alternatively, you can use your existing Laravel application. Start with requiring these two main packages:, _(*18)

composer require brackets/craftable
composer require --dev brackets/admin-generator

To install this package use:, _(*19)

php artisan craftable:install

This is going to install all dependencies, publish all important vendor configs, migrate, setup some configs, webpack config and run migrations., _(*20)

Command is going to generate and print the password for the default administrator account. Save this password to your clipboard, we are going to need it soon., _(*21)

Basics

Once installed, navigate your browser to /admin/login. You should be able to see a login screen., _(*22)

, _(*23)

Use these credentials to log in: - E-mail: administrator@brackets.sk - Password: use password from you clipboard (it was printed in the end of the craftable:install command), _(*24)

After authorization you should be able to see a default homepage and two menu items: - Manage access - Translations, _(*25)

, _(*26)

Documentation

You can find full documentation of this package and other our packages Craftable uses at https://docs.getcraftable.com/#/craftable., _(*27)

Where to go next?

At this point you are ready to start building your administration area. You probably want to start building a typical CRUD interface for your eloquent models. You should definitely check our Admin Generator documentation., _(*28)

In case you rather want to create some atypical custom made administration, then you probably want to head over to Admin UI package., _(*29)

Have fun & craft something awesome!, _(*30)
