Requirements

The Bootstrap scaffolding provided by Laravel is located in the laravel/ui Composer package, which must be installed using Composer for the authentication to work seamlessly:

composer require laravel/ui

Once the laravel/ui package has been installed, you may install the frontend scaffolding using the ui Artisan command:

// Generate login / registration scaffolding...
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

Installation

From the command line:

composer require mabasic/blog

Add Author trait to your User model

Add the Author trait to your User model so that you can retrieve the posts for a user:

use Mabasic\Blog\Author;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable, Author;
}

Originals image disk

In your Laravel application in config/filesystem.php, create a new disk under disks:

'originals' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/originals'),
],

Be sure to create the folder storage/app/originals.

This the the place where you should keep your original full-size images. I usually don't commit the images inside that folder to the git repository.

Picasso manifest

This file contains a reference of all images that are optimizes with Picasso. If you are optimizing images locally only then don't add the file to gitignore. Otherwise, if your application is optimizing files in production (dynamically), then add the file to gitignore, but be sure to manually upload it or not depending on your use case.

Read the text above.

In your application root .gitignore file, add the following line:

storage/app/picasso-manifest.json

This instructs git to ignore that file.

Run migrations

php artisan migrate

Publish Config & configure (optional)

Publish the config file (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mabasic\Blog\ServiceProvider" --tag=config
