Welcome to Laravel Streams
Laravel Streams is an open-source set of Laravel packages which provide simple but poweful interfaces to fundamental application standards like data modeling, API interaction, UI, control panels, and more. Streams uses code-configured json files to configure your application and data structures.
The ever-changing and widening landscape of web applications, websites, and the like, have stressed the traditions and ideology of popular CMS options. After digging into our own CMS engine we discovered that the problem is in the CMS paradigm. This project results from the complete deconstruction of that paradigm and establishes a new one built upon new fundamental values and principles.
Laravel Streams and its components are well suited to build a wide variety of applications:
Laravel Streams focuses primarily on basic JSON descriptions of your data. We call them streams.
// streams/music.json
{
"name": "Music",
"fields": {
"id": "slug",
"title": "string",
"mp3": "file",
"artist": {
"type": "relationship",
"related": "artist"
}
}
}
By default, Laravel Streams leverages a flat-file database engine. All databases supported by Laravel are inherently supported. An adapter interface allows you to tap into any data source you need.
By building upon data structure, we can use stream configurations to help drastically reduce the time required to do things like:
Our overarching focus is to abstract, normalize, and optimize systems and work required from a wide range of Laravel projects. We try and restrict this to within the lens of our core focus of data abstraction and access.
Laravel Streams focuses on these fundamental areas of application development.
Time to get your feet wet.
