Laravel Domain Parser Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Build vs. buy: Reuse a Public Suffix List–aware parser instead of maintaining custom regex logic for domain/TLD extraction; reduces engineering effort and edge-case bugs.
• Feature enablement: Multi-tenant custom domains, subdomain routing, email-domain validation, cookie scoping, canonical URL generation, and referrer/domain analytics.
• Roadmap prioritization: Domain-aware capabilities for SaaS, marketplaces, and auth flows; security use cases such as phishing or blocked-domain checks; compliance needs around cookie domains and tenant isolation.
• Use-case validation: Quickly prototype domain-sensitive features before committing to a larger platform investment.

When to Consider This Package

• You are building on Laravel and need PSL-correct domain parsing without writing your own parser.
• The feature is peripheral or MVP-stage, and a small MIT dependency is acceptable.
• You can tolerate low adoption signals (26 stars, 0 dependents) and validate maintenance cadence before production use.
• Look elsewhere if you need high-throughput parsing, active community support, framework-agnostic usage, or stricter dependency governance; consider using bakame/domain-parser directly or a more widely adopted PSL library.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

• Executives: This package enables reliable domain handling for multi-tenant and security-adjacent features at low cost, but its low adoption means we should treat it as a tactical dependency, not a strategic platform bet.
• Engineering: It cleanly integrates a proven PSL-based parser into Laravel with minimal footprint under MIT; wrap it behind an internal interface so we can swap implementations if maintenance or performance becomes a concern.
