New Laravel site

Sites › New Laravel site creates a fresh Laravel app and sets it up to use DevKit’s PHP, database and mail.

1. Type a name. The site will be served at https://<name>.test, inside your first parked folder unless you choose another.
2. Choose a starter kit (none, React, Vue or Livewire), a database, a test framework and a PHP version.
3. Choose Create site.

DevKit runs Laravel’s own installer with the options you chose, then:

• creates the database: database/database.sqlite, or a database on the MySQL or PostgreSQL service you picked (starting the service if needed)
• sets APP_URL to https://<name>.test, and mail to DevKit’s mail catcher with the site’s own inbox
• runs the migrations
• serves the site with HTTPS
• optionally adds the Vite dev server as a background process

It takes about a minute. You can close the window while it runs; the steps carry on.

DevKit installs the Laravel installer into its own Composer home, so you don’t need it installed globally.
