Boilerplate Crud Generator Laravel Package

Getting Started

• Install with composer require <vendor>/<package>:^13.0 and confirm the resolver picks it up cleanly on a Laravel 13 app. The 13.0.1 release is a framework-alignment release, so the first question is not "what's new" but "does my app's constraint graph allow it".
• Look first at, in order: the package's composer.json (php floor and illuminate/* constraints), the CHANGELOG entry for 13.0.0 vs 13.0.1, and the service provider's register()/boot() methods. Those three tell you almost everything about whether an upgrade is a no-op or a migration.
• First use case: a throwaway Laravel 13 app. Publish the config (php artisan vendor:publish --provider=...), exercise the package's single most representative operation end-to-end, and confirm it behaves the same as on your current Laravel version. Do this before touching your real application.

Note: 13.0.1's release note is a single line ("Update to laravel 13"). Everything below is written around verifying and adopting a framework-alignment release; treat package-specific API claims as things to confirm against the source rather than assume.

Implementation Patterns

• Pin and verify, don't float. Use an explicit ^13.0 constraint rather than * or dev-main, then run composer update "<vendor>/<package>" --with-dependencies. composer why-not <vendor>/<package> 13.0.1 is the fastest way to find the transitive dependency that's blocking you.
• Diff the tags yourself. When the changelog is one line, git diff 13.0.0..13.0.1 -- composer.json src/ is the actual release note. Framework bumps frequently carry small signature or type changes that never get documented.
• Wrap the package behind an app-level adapter. Bind the package's client/manager into a small interface in your app and inject that. When a future major lands, the framework churn is confined to one class instead of being sprayed across controllers and jobs.
• Resolve from the container, not with new. Use the facade or container binding the provider registers. Laravel 13's container/console changes only bite you if you instantiate package internals directly.
• CI matrix, not a single job. Test the lowest and highest supported Laravel versions and the minimum declared PHP version. For a version-alignment release, the matrix is the test suite — unit tests alone won't catch a changed service provider contract.
• Feature-flag the rollout. Ship the upgrade behind a config toggle for one deploy cycle so you can flip back without a revert.

Gotchas and Tips

• Major version = framework floor moved. A package going to 13.x usually drops Laravel 12 support in the same commit. In a monorepo or a multi-app repo, this means you upgrade apps together or you run two package majors in parallel. Check the illuminate/support constraint before you plan anything.
• PHP floor. The php constraint likely moved up alongside Laravel 13. Match your CI image and any platform.php setting in composer.json, or you'll get a confusing "your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages".
• Deprecations become exceptions. Code that merely warned on Laravel 12 can hard-fail on 13. Run your test suite with deprecations surfaced (phpunit --display-deprecations) rather than suppressed.
• Config drift. If the package ships new or renamed config keys, a stale published config/<package>.php will silently fall back to defaults. Diff your published copy against vendor/.../config/ after upgrading; use vendor:publish --force deliberately, never in a deploy script.
• Provider ordering. If you extend() or rebind anything the package registers, confirm your provider still runs after it. A reordered boot() in a new major is a classic silent breakage.
• Migrations. If the package publishes migrations, check for new ones and run php artisan migrate --pretend first.
• Debugging toolkit: php artisan about (confirms the framework version the app actually resolved), composer show -a <vendor>/<package> (available versions and constraints), composer why-not, and the package's own test suite run inside your app skeleton.
• Extension points to know before you fork anything: container bindings registered by the provider, published config keys, published migrations/stubs, and any events the package dispatches. Overriding via config or an event listener is nearly always cheaper than forking for a framework bump.
• If you're staying on Laravel 12 for now, pin the previous package major explicitly (^12.0) rather than relying on composer.lock — an unpinned constraint will happily jump majors the next time someone runs composer update.
