- How do I install infyomlabs/laravel-ui-stisla in a Laravel application?
- Install the package with composer require infyomlabs/laravel-ui-stisla, then use its Laravel UI preset command as documented to scaffold the Stisla auth views and layout. You will typically need laravel/ui available, database migrations for auth tables, and a front-end asset build step. Commit the generated files so your team can review the scaffold before customizing it.
- Which Laravel versions does infyomlabs/laravel-ui-stisla support?
- The available assessment only confirms v4.0.0 added Laravel 9 support, so Laravel 9 is the clearest documented target. Do not assume compatibility with Laravel 10, Laravel 11, or earlier Laravel releases without checking the package Composer constraints and running a spike. Also verify the required PHP version and any extension or dependency constraints.
- What auth views and layouts does the Stisla Laravel UI preset scaffold?
- It scaffolds pre-styled authentication screens for login, registration, password reset, and email verification. It also provides a Stisla admin layout with sidebar, navbar, and card components, built on Bootstrap. The result is Blade-based views you can extend rather than a fully custom application structure.
- Do I need laravel/ui installed before using this package?
- Yes, this package is a Laravel UI preset, so it is designed to integrate with laravel/ui auth scaffolding. If your application does not already use laravel/ui, install and configure it before applying the Stisla preset. Confirm the package's documented command sequence so the preset registers correctly.
- How do I customize the Stisla login, register, and dashboard views?
- Publish or scaffold the package views, then edit the Blade templates under your application's auth and layout directories. Keep custom changes in your app's views or a child layout so future package updates are easier to review. Stisla assets can also be adjusted through the published CSS, JavaScript, and image files.
- How do I publish or re-publish the package assets and configuration?
- Use Laravel's vendor:publish command with the package's documented publish tags to copy assets and any config files into your application. Before re-publishing, back up customized views and assets because publishing can overwrite files. If the package does not expose a config file, treat asset publishing as the main customization path.
- How should I test the auth scaffolding after installing this preset?
- Run a disposable Laravel 9 spike, execute the package and application test suites, and manually test login, registration, password reset, and email verification flows. Check route registration, middleware, validation, and asset compilation in a production-like environment. Keep the package version pinned and run CI against the Laravel 9 minor version you plan to deploy.
- Is infyomlabs/laravel-ui-stisla safe and maintained enough for production?
- The technical assessment rates risk as medium to high until validated, mainly because v4 is a major release with limited public detail. Before production, confirm maintainer activity, issue triage, release cadence, and whether the package owns any critical auth or schema behavior. Pin the version, document an internal owner, and keep a rollback path for Composer or runtime failures.
- What changed in v4.0.0 and is there a v3-to-v4 upgrade guide?
- The only release evidence provided is that v4.0.0 added Laravel 9 support, but a major version can still include breaking changes. Ask for or locate a changelog and v3-to-v4 upgrade guide before estimating the work. If no guide exists, treat the upgrade as reverse-engineering rather than a routine dependency bump.
- What are alternatives to infyomlabs/laravel-ui-stisla for Laravel admin auth views?
- Alternatives include the default laravel/ui Bootstrap or Tailwind presets, Laravel Breeze, and Laravel Jetstream for auth scaffolding, plus other admin dashboard templates if you do not need Stisla specifically. Choose based on Laravel version support, maintenance activity, and whether you want Blade-only views or a broader starter kit. This package makes sense when you specifically want Stisla-styled auth views with laravel/ui conventions.
