hello
1- dont forget add to your plan export excel pdf and print
2- add multi lang for content
... i hope to you good job

[nasirkhan]

Thanks for you comments.

This is a general purpose starter project and I assume Excel/ Spreadsheet or PDF export might necessary for all the projects. There are two very good laravel package available for exporting data and content in multiple formats.

Multilingual content option would be nice to have. But it requires some planning on which approach should be taken to implement this feature. There are a number of ways to implement his, can you suggest me which one should we use here?

Thank you for your suggestion. Multi tenancy is not required for most of the applications. That is why I did not planned to add this. And again, multi tenancy can be implemented in a number of ways, so pushing towards in one direction might not be a good idea.

hi there is one other issue
when we use react, vue, how to use module base components, if anyone want to use inertia? how to manage this?

[chirumist]

This project doesn't have multiple module scripts & SCSS build. Is there any plan?

[chirumist]

I have implemented this dashboard. Also, I added their setting customization on the setting page.

@chirumist Thank you your comments. I believe you found this project useful for your own projects.

The goal for this project is to make it as simple as possible. React, Vue, Interia are awesome ways to build applications, but it is not for those who just started Laravel. So I consciously avoided that path. There are some livewire components and I was thinking to add more in future.

Multiple build for modules can be implemented, but that will add complicity. The core modules do not need much changes. For the additional custom modules any build setup can be used.

The dashboard is beautiful. Is it open source?

If you are extending this laravel starter, I would suggest you to send pull requests to improve this project. As you implemented the dashboard, you may work on a feature to easily change the theme both in Backend and Frontend.

[chirumist]

Yes, this dashboard is open source. When I got some time then I will contribute to this project.

Hello Nasir!

I was just checking the project and found that the feature you mentioned Theme Manager is not yet implemented. There are number of options available. I was checking that as well. But I thought of giving you my feedback:

When using multiple themes, it would be utmost important to have domain/site mapping. If not, it becomes not very useable. So I think having a manual entry of domain or subdomain name would be extremely helpful or necessary.

I checked one multisite package based on env replicattion. This is the most simple and easiest option. I was too surprised with that simplicity. One can simply configure multisite in few minutes with a seperate env generator.

This seems to me the best combinitation because the multisite does not touch any other areas and provides the simplest option. It only needs to be integrated with theme manager.

One these both packages are integrated, this template is going to be much better. The multilanguage option is now there. But the multisite is not yet implemented, though we can do ourselves.

To have sites like en.site.com, de.site.com, fr.site.com can help. Here the theme manager could give a greate help, if you could integrate.

The Laravel Starter is very helpfull.
I was wondering if We can extend the list page, with more advance filter. (individual filer or active filter).

@boedyirh Thank you for your suggestion. It would be really helpful to have this feature. But unfortunately, I might not be able to work on this feature soon. If you have already developed this feature, please submit PR.
