Reactor for Laravel

For developers using Laravel, boilerplates are very helpful for starting projects fast. Lucky Media introduces the Reactor package—a strong set of advanced tools for the frontend that make your Laravel apps faster. In this blog post, we’ll look at all the features of Reactor, and show you how to easily add it to your Laravel projects.

Why Choose Reactor for Your Laravel Projects?

Laravel Breeze is a great starting point with its minimal boilerplate. But Reactor takes your development to a higher level. It’s an opinionated package that gives you a complex frontend setup and ensures your code is clean and the same everywhere. Reactor makes your work easier with ready-to-use ESLint and Prettier settings for the same code formatting, enforces code rules with Husky hooks, and adds a Laravel Pint-based GitHub Workflow. It also has a bunch of pre-made frontend components, inspired by shadcn/ui, that are easy to use and change.
