- What is Kaido Kit and what is it used for?
- Kaido Kit is a Laravel starter kit for rapidly building Filament-powered admin panels and internal tools. It bundles authentication, user and role management, CRUD scaffolding, and a modern UI so you can skip boilerplate. It is best treated as template code you fork or scaffold, not a runtime library.
- How do I install siubie/kaido-kit?
- Because Kaido Kit is a starter kit, installation is usually a repository fork or create-project scaffold rather than a composer require. You then run composer install, verify the generated app, and remove the pieces you do not want. Check the repository README for the exact clone or create-project command and required PHP, Node, and Vite versions.
- Does Kaido Kit work with Laravel 11 or the latest Laravel version?
- The provided context does not pin an exact Laravel version, but it warns that starter kits are tightly coupled to a narrow Laravel range and one Filament major. You should inspect the kit's composer.json and README for explicit version constraints before adopting it. Treat it as a point-in-time snapshot rather than a rolling base for future Laravel releases.
- Which Filament version does Kaido Kit use?
- The context does not state the exact Filament major or minor version used by Kaido Kit. It does warn that starter kits are tightly coupled to one Filament major and that Filament ships breaking changes regularly. Verify the Filament constraint in composer.json and confirm it matches your target admin panel stack.
- Is Kaido Kit a Composer package I can require into an existing Laravel app?
- No, the assessment describes Kaido Kit as a starter kit whose unit of adoption is a fork or create-project scaffold, not a composer require runtime dependency. Greenfield adoption is high-fit, but adding it to an existing mature Laravel app is effectively a manual port of selected files. That approach creates diff churn, duplicated conventions, and no clean rollback.
- What features are included in Kaido Kit?
- The overview lists authentication, user and role management, CRUD scaffolding, and a modern UI. It does not specify multi-tenancy, audit logging, settings management, SSO, CI, containerization, seeders, or test coverage. Inspect the repository to confirm exactly what is included versus left as TODO.
- Does Kaido Kit support multi-tenancy or enterprise SSO?
- The provided context does not confirm multi-tenancy or enterprise SSO/OIDC/SAML support in Kaido Kit. It specifically warns that authentication assumptions are usually baked into starter kits and that enterprise SSO is typically a rewrite, not a configuration toggle. Scope those requirements explicitly before adopting the kit.
- How do I test a Laravel application generated from Kaido Kit?
- The assessment recommends running the generated application's test suite as an acceptance gate before committing to the kit. It also flags test coverage and post-scaffold testing as unverified quality signals, so confirm the scaffold actually ships tests. In a Laravel app you would typically run the suite with php artisan test after composer install and environment setup.
- Is Kaido Kit safe for production use?
- Production readiness depends on auditing the code you take ownership of, the transitive Composer and npm dependencies, version parity with your Laravel and Filament baseline, auth assumptions, and test coverage. The context also flags single-maintainer concentration and a small maintainer surface as bus-factor risks. Kaido Kit is best viewed as a convenience accelerator, not a strategic platform bet.
- How is Kaido Kit maintained, and what are the alternatives?
- The context describes Kaido Kit as having 383 stars, a small maintainer surface, and a March 2025 release date, with no stated upgrade policy. Alternatives include the official Filament starter kits and other community Laravel plus Filament scaffolds. Because you own the forked code, plan for internal maintenance and dependency upgrades rather than relying on vendor support.
