README

A strict Laravel skeleton.

Introduction

This Vue starter kit uses Vue 3 and the Composition API, TypeScript, Tailwind, and the shadcn-vue component library.

Features

✅ Strict Models

Improves how Eloquent handles undefined attributes, lazy loading, and invalid assignments.

• Accessing a missing attribute throws an error.
• Lazy loading is blocked unless explicitly allowed.
• Setting undefined attributes throws instead of failing silently.

Why: Avoids subtle bugs and makes model behavior easier to reason about.

🔓 Optional Unguarded Models

Disables Laravel's mass assignment protection globally (opt-in).

Why: Useful in trusted or local environments where you want to skip defining $fillable.

🕒 Immutable Dates

Uses CarbonImmutable instead of mutable date objects across your app.

Why: Prevents unexpected date mutations and improves predictability.

🔒 Force HTTPS

Forces all generated URLs to use https://.

Why: Ensures all traffic uses secure connections by default.

🛑 Safe Console

Blocks potentially destructive Artisan commands in production (e.g., migrate:fresh).

Why: Prevents accidental data loss and adds a safety net in sensitive environments.

🚀 Asset Prefetching

Configures Laravel Vite to preload assets more aggressively.

Why: Improves front-end load times and user experience.
