- Origin Story (and Creative Commons)
- Installing Laravel Recipes
- How to Edit Existing Recipes
- How to Create New Recipes
I created laravel-recipes.com with the intention of having a site with hundreds of little "how-tos" explaining every aspect of Laravel. From the beginning tasks to more advanced techniques. It was going to be amazing.
And it was.
But I didn't realize how huge an undertaking this would be. I created almost 300 recipes before this realization hit me. After much head-scratching I decided to open this up to the community at large.
I struggled to find the perfect license for this. I looked at GPL and others, but since this site not only contains code but also content that could be used in a variety of mediums. I settled on the Creative Commons license.
Which means you can share, change, adapt laravel-recipes in any way and redistribute in any format, for any purpose (even commercially) as long as you give appropriate credit and share alike.
Here's a quick start guide:
- Clone the ChuckHeintzelman/laravel-recipes repository from github
- Update
bootstrap/start.phpand set up an environment override - Add
app/config/YOURENV/database.phpand configure it - Run
artisan migrateto set up the databases - Run
artisan recipe:syncto sync your database with thedocs - Point your web browser at
laravel-recipes/publicand enjoy
Editing an existing recipe is easy. Just find the recipe in the docs/recipes directory tree and make changes there.
NOTE Never change Id or Position in the header of the markdown document containing the recipe.
When finished making the changes first do a:
artisan recipe:scan
This will tell you if there any problems with the recipe file. Once verified, you can update your local database with:
artisan recipe:sync
If that works successfully, clear your application's cache (artisan cache:clear) and make sure it looks correct on your local install. When it does, create a pull request to get your change merged into the project.
