Bootstrap a cloud-native Laravel application with Jetstream support

Preface

Laravel Jetstream is a starter kit for Laravel and provides a starting point for a Laravel application. Jetstream provides the implementation for the application's login, registration, email verification, two-factor authentication, session management, API via Laravel Sanctum, and optional team management features.

Although Laravel Jetstream requires NodeJS and PHP >= 8.0. On this occasion, we will bootstrap a Laravel application with Jetstream support using only laraboot CLI.

Install

We're going to need laraboot . Being an NPM CLI tool we're going to have to install it globally by running the npm install command.

npm i -g @laraboot-io/cli

Create a project

laraboot new app --php-version=8.0.* && cd app

Include required build tasks

Jetstream support is provided by the task @core/laravel-starterkit-buildpack. Let's add it to the mix and also add Paketo's NodeJs buildpack which take care of running all the npm command for us during the buildtime.

laraboot task add @core/laravel-starterkit-buildpack \
--format=file -vvv

laraboot task add nodejs \ 
--imageUri=gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs \
--format=external \
--prepend \
-vvv

Configure

Buildtask configurations occur through the buildpack.yml file, should be already there in your project's root if the project was bootstrapped by laraboot. In case the file is not there we have to create it manually.

The following is the configuration we will use. We had disabled Breeze and enabled Jetstream.

# buildpack.yml
# Enable Jetstream teams with livewire
laravel-starterkit:
  # Jetstream configuration
  jetstream:
    enabled: true
    teams: true
    stack: livewire
  # Breeze configuration
  breeze:
    enabled: false
    stack: inertia

More information about the configuration of this task can be found here

Build

Build our custom Laravel application couldn't be easier than run the following command.

laraboot build -vvv

Run

After the build process is complete we end up with an OCI image called app which you can either run locally or deploy to the cloud using your favorite cloud provider.

laraboot run --port=9000
