Getting Started

Ensure that your environment has the following dependencies installed:

• PHP
• Composer
• Node.js and npm

To use the Makefile, you must have make installed. On Unix-based systems, make is usually pre-installed. For Windows, you may need to install a compatible version of make.

Commands Overview

Setup Commands

These commands help set up your Laravel project by installing dependencies and configuring initial settings.

• make install - Install dependencies (Composer and npm) and set up the database.
• make serve - Start the development server.
• make migrate - Run database migrations.
• make seed - Run the database seeder.
• make fresh - Refresh all migrations and seed the database.
• make dev - Run npm in development mode.
• make build - Run npm in production mode.

Development Commands

These commands are used to clear caches, optimize configurations, and run tests.

• make clear - Clear all application caches (config, route, view).
• make optimize - Cache and optimize configuration and routes.
• make test - Run PHPUnit tests.
• make clean - Clean temporary files and caches. This command removes the vendor, node_modules, and various cache files to ensure a fresh start for the application.
• make fresh - Reset all migrations and seed the database. This command drops all tables and re-runs all migrations, followed by seeding the database with initial data.
