Introduction

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

Jetstream is designed using Tailwind CSS and offers your choice of Livewire or Inertia scaffolding.

We have removed the Tailwind CSS dependency and modified the Livewire scaffolding as per our template.

What is Livewire?

Laravel Livewire is a library that makes it simple to build modern, reactive, dynamic interfaces using Laravel Blade as your templating language. This is a great stack to choose if you want to build an application that is dynamic and reactive but don't feel comfortable jumping into a full JavaScript framework.

You are encouraged to review the entire Livewire

What is Materialize Jetstream? Why do we need it?

Laravel Jetstream is designed using Tailwind CSS and offers your choice of Livewire or Inertia scaffolding. We have removed the Tailwind CSS dependency and modified the Livewire scaffolding as per our template

Materialize Jetstream is a lightweight laravel package that focuses on the VIEW side of Jetstream package installed in your Laravel application, so when a swap is performed, the ACTION, MODEL, CONTROLLER and COMPONENT classes of your project is still 100% handled by Laravel development team with no added layer of complexity.

Installation

Installing Jetstream

You are highly encouraged to read through the entire documentation of Jetstream

You may use Composer to install Jetstream into your new Laravel project:

composer require laravel/jetstream

Install Jetstream With Livewire

Important : Materialize is using Bootstrap but Jetstream Provides TailwindCss support by default. So we need to remove the TailwindCss from the postcss.config.js file that will be updated with upcoming commands. You can ignore below terminal error for now.

If you choose to install Jetstream through Composer, you should run the jetstream:install Artisan command that accepts the name of the stack you prefer (livewire).

You are highly encouraged to read through the entire documentation of Livewire before beginning your Jetstream project.

php artisan jetstream:install livewire

In addition, you may use the --teams switch to enable team support:

php artisan jetstream:install livewire --teams

Important:

You can avoid package installation, build & database migrations at the time of livewire installation, As we are going to follow these steps once whole Jetstream process completed. So you can use CTRL+C to break package installation process.

Materialize Jetstream

To make jetstream compatible with bootstrap, we have used Materialize Jetstream to replace/swap default tailwind scaffolding with modified Bootstrap scaffolding.

Use Composer to install Materialize Jetstream into your new Laravel project as dev dependency:

composer require pixinvent/materialize-laravel-bootstrap-jetstream --dev

Regardless how you install Jetstream, Materialize Laravel Bootstrap Jetstream commands are very similar to that of Jetstream as it accepts the name of the stack you would like to swap (livewire).

To swap before beginning your Materialize Laravel Jetstream project using Livewire:

php artisan jetstream_materialize:swap livewire

In addition, you may use the --teams switch to swap team assets just like you would in Jetstream:

php artisan jetstream_materialize:swap livewire --teams

This will publish overrides to enable Bootstrap like the good old days!

Finalizing The Installation

After installing Materialize jetstream and swapping Jetstream resources, remove tailwindCSS and its dependencies if any from your package.json and then install and build your NPM dependencies and migrate your database:

Use YARN or NPM :

yarn
yarn build

npm install
npm run build

php artisan migrate

execute the command php artisan serve in your project's root directory. This will launch a local development server, making your application accessible in a web browser.

php artisan serve

Features

Jetstream provides below features:

• Authentication
• Registration
• Profile Management
• Password Update
• Password Confirmation
• Two Factor Authentication
• Browser Sessions
• API
• Teams

Under the hood, the authentication portions of Jetstream are powered by Laravel Fortify, which is a front-end agnostic authentication backend for Laravel.

To enable or disable the Jetstream features, We have two config files inside config/ folder. Note: You will get these files after installing Jetstream :)

• fortify.php
• jetstream.php

'features' => [
  Features::registration(),
  Features::resetPasswords(),
  // Features::emailVerification(),
  Features::updateProfileInformation(),
  Features::updatePasswords(),
  Features::twoFactorAuthentication([
    // 'confirm' => true,
    'confirmPassword' => true,
  ]),
],

'features' => [
  // Features::termsAndPrivacyPolicy(),
  // Features::profilePhotos(),
  // Features::api(),
  Features::teams(['invitations' => true]),
  Features::accountDeletion(),
],

Protect Routes

Use middleware ['auth:sanctum', 'verified'] to protect your routes. You need to wrap routes with this middleware to protect routes:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:sanctum', 'verified'],function(){
  Route::get('/', [StaterKitController::class, 'home'])->name('home');
  .....
  ....
});
