Core Bundle Laravel Package
smart-core/core-bundle
Core bundle for the Smart Core package suite, bundling shared service providers, configuration defaults, and foundational utilities for Laravel and PHP applications. Acts as the integration layer for Smart Core components and simplifies setup for dependent packages out of the box.
[DEPRECATED]
Frequently asked questions about Core Bundle
- What is smart-core/core-bundle used for?
- It is intended as a foundation layer for the Smart Core package suite, bundling shared service providers, configuration defaults, and base utilities for Laravel and PHP applications. In practice it is positioned as the integration layer that dependent Smart Core packages would rely on. The repository is marked deprecated, so new projects should treat it as historical rather than a recommended dependency.
- Is smart-core/core-bundle still maintained?
- No. The package is explicitly marked DEPRECATED, and the context provides no named successor, migration guide, or maintainer commitment. That means no expected bug fixes, compatibility updates, or security patches. Production use should be considered unsupported unless you are prepared to fork and maintain it yourself.
- Does smart-core/core-bundle support Laravel 10 or Laravel 11?
- The available context does not document a supported Laravel version matrix. The package description targets Laravel, but the CoreBundle naming follows Symfony conventions, so you must inspect composer.json for the actual illuminate/* and php constraints. A foundation package may pin older framework majors, which can block upgrades. Do not assume Laravel 10 or 11 support without verifying the constraints.
- How do I install smart-core/core-bundle with Composer?
- It is a public Composer package under the MIT license, so installation would normally be composer require smart-core/core-bundle. Laravel package discovery may register its service provider automatically without manual wiring in config/app.php. However, because the package is deprecated and has no adoption, installation should be limited to evaluation unless you have a concrete maintenance plan.
- Is smart-core/core-bundle a Laravel package or a Symfony bundle?
- That identity is unresolved in the provided context. The artifact is named CoreBundle and core-bundle, which is Symfony convention, while the description says it targets Laravel and PHP applications. A Symfony bundle's extension, compiler pass, and configuration tree model does not map directly onto Laravel's service container without an adapter. Confirm the actual framework target in the source and composer.json before making an architecture decision.
- Is smart-core/core-bundle safe for production?
- The package carries high technical risk for production. It is deprecated at source, has zero stars and zero dependents, and therefore lacks production battle-testing, community compatibility patches, and third-party security review. A bootstrap and config package sits on the request path by definition, so defects or unpatched CVEs have application-wide blast radius. Treat production use as unsupported unless you fork and maintain it.
- Why does smart-core/core-bundle have zero dependents and zero stars?
- Zero adoption is not evidence of being undiscovered; it means there is no downstream ecosystem relying on the package. With no dependents, there are no community compatibility patches, no Stack Overflow corpus, and no implicit security review by other consumers. You would be the only consumer of a single-maintainer artifact. That makes the foundation-layer value proposition unrealized.
- Can I use smart-core/core-bundle as a foundation for my own Laravel module suite?
- The package is shaped like a typical Laravel module foundation, with service-provider registration, auto-discovery, publishable config, shared contracts, and base classes. But that value only materializes if there is a real downstream bundle ecosystem, and this package has none. Building on a deprecated, zero-dependent foundation means you inherit the maintenance burden for the highest-leverage seam in your codebase. Prefer a maintained foundation or extract only the patterns you need.
- Are there alternatives to smart-core/core-bundle for Laravel package development?
- The provided context does not name a successor or migration path, so there is no official alternative from this maintainer. In practice, developers should evaluate maintained Laravel package skeletons and service-provider patterns rather than adopting a deprecated foundation. If you only need shared configuration and provider registration, Laravel's own package discovery and standard service providers may be sufficient.
- How should I test or evaluate smart-core/core-bundle before adopting it?
- Start by inspecting composer.json for php and illuminate/* constraints, then confirm whether the code is Laravel-native or a Symfony bundle port. Run a spike in an isolated branch and check for boot-time config parsing, service-provider registration behavior, and compatibility with your Laravel major. Given the deprecation and zero adoption, cap the evaluation effort and require a fork-and-maintain decision before any production integration.
