- What is mariojgt/magnifier used for?
- mariojgt/magnifier is described as a Laravel package magnifier and quick start for new Laravel packages. In practice, it is intended to give developers a starting structure when building their own Laravel packages. Check the repository README for the exact files and workflow it provides.
- How do I install mariojgt/magnifier?
- Install it with Composer using composer require mariojgt/magnifier. After installation, follow the repository README for any publishing, configuration, or scaffolding steps. Because it is a quick-start package, you may also need to adjust the generated structure for your own package name and namespace.
- Which Laravel versions does mariojgt/magnifier support?
- The provided overview does not specify which Laravel versions are supported. Check the package composer.json and README for the require constraints before installing it in your project. That will confirm compatibility with your Laravel and PHP versions.
- Is Magnifier a runtime dependency or a development tool?
- Magnifier is presented as a quick start for new Laravel packages, so it is primarily a development and scaffolding aid rather than an end-user application feature. It helps you begin package development, but the package you build is what you would ship. Treat it as tooling for package authors, not as a runtime feature for an app.
- Can Magnifier generate boilerplate for a new Laravel package?
- Yes. The package is positioned as a quick start for new Laravel packages, which means it is meant to provide boilerplate or a starting structure. Use it when you want a head start instead of creating every package file manually. Review the README to see exactly what boilerplate it includes.
- How do I configure mariojgt/magnifier?
- Configuration details are not included in the provided overview, so consult the README and any published config files for available options. Many Laravel packages use config publishing, but you should confirm Magnifier's exact behavior in its documentation. Adjust namespaces and package metadata as needed for your own package.
- Does mariojgt/magnifier register a service provider automatically?
- The overview does not state whether Magnifier registers a service provider automatically. Laravel packages often rely on package discovery, but you should verify this in the package composer.json and README. If auto-discovery is not enabled, register the provider manually according to the documentation.
- How do I test a package created with Magnifier?
- For a package created with Magnifier, use standard Laravel package testing practices such as PHPUnit and Orchestra Testbench where appropriate. The README is the best source for any test setup or example tests included in the scaffold. Run your tests in a matrix of the Laravel versions you intend to support.
- Can I use mariojgt/magnifier in production?
- The scaffold itself is a development aid, so production use depends on the package you build with it. Review the generated code, dependencies, and configuration before shipping anything to production. Also confirm that the package's license and maintenance status fit your project.

- Maintenance status is not stated in the provided overview, so check the GitHub repository for recent commits, releases, and open issues. Alternatives include other Laravel package boilerplates, skeleton repositories, or creating a package structure manually with Composer. Compare the included structure, documentation, and Laravel version support before choosing.
