A Laravel package that provides an interactive command-line installer for easy application setup. This package helps streamline the initial configuration process of Laravel applications through an intuitive artisan command. ✨

📦 Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require darshphpdev/laravel-artisan-installer

The package will automatically register its service provider in Laravel 5.5+ applications. For older versions, manually add the service provider in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    DarshPhpDev\LaravelArtisanInstaller\InstallerServiceProvider::class,
],

🛠️ Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

This will create a config/installer.php file where you can customize default values.
