- How do I install pacificdev/laravel_9_preset in a fresh Laravel 9 app?
- Install it as a Composer preset in a fresh Laravel 9 application, then run the preset or scaffold command documented by the package. Because the README excerpt is minimal, review the generated file diffs immediately after installation so you understand exactly what was changed.
- Does this preset support Laravel 10 or Laravel 11?
- The package is explicitly positioned as a Laravel 9 preset, and the technical evaluation notes no evidence of Laravel 10 or 11 compatibility. Treat it as Laravel 9-specific and validate in a disposable project before assuming any forward compatibility.
- What Bootstrap and JavaScript dependencies does the preset install?
- The package is described as Bootstrap-based frontend scaffolding, but the exact Bootstrap and JavaScript dependency versions are not specified in the provided context. Pin and audit the generated package.json and lock files before using the output in any production-bound project.
- Will the preset overwrite my existing auth views, layouts, or Vite config?
- Presets commonly overwrite or inject frontend files such as auth views, layouts, and asset configuration, and the evaluation flags scaffold overwrites as a key risk. Run it only in a clean repository or review every diff carefully before applying it to an existing application.
- Can I use pacificdev/laravel_9_preset in an existing Laravel application?
- Integration feasibility drops sharply for existing applications because presets often overwrite frontend files and require manual reconciliation. Extract only the Bootstrap layouts or components you need rather than running the preset wholesale against a mature codebase.
- Is pacificdev/laravel_9_preset actively maintained?
- The last release was March 2023, and the package has minimal community signal with 0 dependents and 8 stars. Expect to own fixes, upgrades, and documentation internally, ideally through a fork with pinned version constraints.
- Does this preset conflict with Laravel Breeze, Jetstream, or Laravel UI?
- It may conflict with Breeze, Jetstream, Laravel UI, or existing frontend tooling because presets write overlapping frontend and authentication files. Test it in a disposable app and avoid combining multiple scaffolding tools in the same project without a clear reconciliation plan.
- How do I uninstall or remove the preset after scaffolding?
- There is no documented uninstall or upgrade path in the provided context, and presets are typically one-shot scaffolding rather than reversible dependencies. Plan to remove it by reverting the scaffold commit or by copying approved files into your own internal preset.
- Is this preset suitable for production Laravel applications?
- It is better treated as a tactical starter template than a long-lived production dependency, and Laravel 9 is already past mainstream support. For production, gate on a supported Laravel version path and restrict use to internal or non-critical apps unless you fork and maintain it internally.
- What are the alternatives to this preset for Laravel scaffolding?
- For current Laravel versions, prefer maintained presets or an in-house scaffold aligned with your frontend stack, such as Breeze or Jetstream with Tailwind. Use this package only when you explicitly need Laravel 9 with Bootstrap-based Blade views and accept the maintenance tradeoffs.
