  • Headless CMS
  • Integrated CMS
  • Code Generator
  • Application Core
  • Project Bootstraps
  • Development Automation

How does it work?

Laravel Streams focuses first on basic JSON descriptions of your data. We call them streams, hence our namesake.

// streams/music.json
{
    "name": "Music",
    "fields": [
        {
            "handle": "id",
            "type": "slug"
        },
        {
            "handle": "title",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "handle": "mp3",
            "type": "file"
        },
        {
            "handle": "artist",
            "type": "relationship",
            "config": {
                "related": "artists"
            }
        }
    ]
}

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.

Building Upon Data

By building upon data structure, we can use stream configurations to help drastically reduce the time required to do things like:

  • Validating the data.
  • CRUD'ing the data via a fluent and extensive API.
  • Generate schema from stream configurations.
  • Generate code from stream configurations.
  • Generate stream configurations from data.
  • Serving and consuming the data via API.
  • Building comprehensive control panels.
  • Generating quality fake data.

Development Abstraction

Our overarching focus is to abstract, normalize, and optimize development systems and the work required from many Laravel projects. We try to restrict this to our core focus of data abstraction and access.
