- Is mazarini/tools-bundle a Laravel package or a Symfony bundle?
- The name and description point to a Symfony bundle, not a Laravel package. Bundle is Symfony vocabulary; Laravel has used service providers and packages since Laravel 4, and the concept of bundles ended with Laravel 3 around 2013. Confirm by reading composer.json: the type field will read symfony-bundle or library, and the require block will target symfony/* rather than illuminate/*.
- Can I install mazarini/tools-bundle in a Laravel app via Composer?
- Composer may resolve the dependency, but the package is unlikely to boot or be useful in Laravel. Symfony bundles are activated through bundles.php and kernel registration, neither of which exists in a Laravel application. Without a bespoke bridge the install either fails outright or succeeds and becomes dead code.
- Does mazarini/tools-bundle support Laravel 11 or Laravel 10?
- There is no evidence of Laravel support for any version, including Laravel 10 or 11. The package has no published Laravel adapter or wrapper and zero dependents to demonstrate compatibility. Treat Laravel version support as unverified until composer.json and a test run prove otherwise.
- How do I integrate a Symfony bundle into Laravel?
- You would have to write a Laravel service provider, resolve the bundle's internal services through Laravel's container, and replace Symfony event dispatcher, HTTP kernel, and config-component coupling with Laravel equivalents. That is a port of the package's seams, not an install. There is no maintained bridge package to shortcut the work.
- What is mazarini/tools-bundle's license and is GPL-3.0 safe for commercial projects?
- The package is GPL-3.0, which is a serious procurement signal for commercial work. Internal SaaS backends generally do not trigger copyleft because nothing is distributed, but on-premise deployments, distributed appliances, white-label builds, and shipped containers can force source disclosure of derivative works. Many enterprise legal teams maintain blanket GPL-3.0 bans, so confirm your deployment model before investing integration effort.
- Is mazarini/tools-bundle actively maintained and does it have stable releases?
- There is no release cadence data in the available signals, and the repository shows 0 stars and 0 dependents. The bundle naming and author ecosystem suggest a personal or small-project repository rather than a maintained product. Check the last commit date and whether tagged semantic-version releases exist before relying on it.
- What PHP versions does mazarini/tools-bundle require?
- PHP version support is unverified, with no evidence of PHP 8.2 or 8.3 compatibility. Transitive dependencies are also unknown and may pin versions that conflict with a modern Laravel stack. Inspect the require block in composer.json and run the test suite on your target PHP version before assuming compatibility.
- What does mazarini/tools-bundle actually do — is it an event bus, a command router, or a service locator?
- The description is vague: basic tools for Symfony and dispatching between bundles. It is unclear whether that means an event bus, a command router, a service locator, or something narrower. Read the source directly, because the README excerpt is empty and the abstraction may model a problem Laravel does not have, since there is no bundle boundary to dispatch across.
- Does mazarini/tools-bundle have dependents, production users, or a security review?
- No. The package has 0 stars, 0 dependents, and an evaluation score of 0, so there is no third-party production usage, downstream security review, or issue history to mine for known breakage. Every defect would be one your team discovers first, which raises the cost of adopting it as a runtime dependency.
- What are the alternatives to mazarini/tools-bundle for Laravel projects?
- For basic helper utilities, Laravel's own Illuminate support components and framework helpers cover most of what a thin tools layer would provide. If you need reusable shared components, choose a maintained package with real adoption, Laravel version support, and a permissive license. Porting a Symfony bundle to obtain generic tooling usually costs more than writing the small amount of code you actually need.
