- What is yxx/laravel-quick and what does it do?
- Laravel Quick is a lightweight toolkit that wraps common Laravel development utilities into convenient helpers and shortcuts, aiming to cut repetitive boilerplate in everyday workflows. Its own description is generic (roughly 'agile development'), so the practical scope is best confirmed by reading the source. Treat it as a source-code reference or dev-time helper first, not an assumed runtime dependency.
- How do I install yxx/laravel-quick with Composer?
- You install it like any Laravel package with composer require yxx/laravel-quick, and Laravel's package auto-discovery should register any service provider it ships. Because the package was last tagged in late 2021, expect dependency resolution to fight with Laravel 10, 11, or 12 constraints. Do not override Composer constraints just to force the install, since an unmaintained package resolving under a permissive range can still break at runtime.
- Does laravel-quick support Laravel 10, 11, or 12?
- There is no published compatibility matrix, no CI badge, and no dependents to use as evidence, so official support for modern Laravel versions is unverified. A package last released in December 2021 almost certainly pins illuminate/* to Laravel 8-era ranges. Assume it will not resolve cleanly on Laravel 10 and above without constraint overrides, and avoid those overrides in a TPM-managed roadmap.
- Is yxx/laravel-quick safe to use in production?
- It is not a good candidate for a production dependency: there have been no releases in roughly four years, there is a single maintainer with no visible successor, and there is no security response path. If it only generates code at dev time the blast radius is limited to bad generated files, but if it registers service providers, middleware, or query helpers it sits in your request boot path. Confirm which class of package it is before letting it near a real application.
- Which PHP versions does laravel-quick support?
- The package predates widespread PHP 8.1 adoption and does not document a supported PHP range, so expect deprecation notices or outright failures on PHP 8.1 and newer. Check the composer.json require block for the exact php and illuminate/* constraints before you plan anything. If the constraints are broad, do not read that as proof of compatibility.
- Does laravel-quick register a service provider, middleware, or Artisan commands?
- That is the single most important question to answer before adoption, and the README excerpt does not settle it. Scaffolding tools typically ship only Artisan commands and write files into the application tree, which is low risk; runtime helpers or middleware are a standing liability on an unmaintained package. Read the src directory and composer.json extra.laravel block to see what actually gets registered.
- Is yxx/laravel-quick still maintained?
- No. It has 14 stars, zero dependents, a single release in December 2021, and no releases since, which is the classic profile of a hobby or internal utility published once. There is no visible maintainer succession and no issue triage to rely on. Plan on owning any code you borrow from it.
- What are the alternatives to laravel-quick for faster Laravel development?
- For scaffolding and CRUD generation, maintained options include Laravel Blueprint, Filament generators, and InfyOm, plus the framework's first-party make:* generators combined with team conventions. In most cases you can get 80 percent of the capability you need from first-party tooling alone. The time spent hardening an abandoned package usually exceeds the time to adopt a maintained alternative.
- Can I fork yxx/laravel-quick and maintain it internally?
- Yes, and forking or copying the relevant generator files into app/Console is the recommended path if you want the ideas without the supply-chain risk. First confirm the license file exists and is compatible with your distribution model, since licensing is unchecked. Then assign a named internal owner, because a fork with no accountable maintainer becomes the same abandonment problem you started with.
- Does laravel-quick have tests or a CI badge I can inspect?
- The repository shows no CI badge and no evidence of a test suite, and with zero dependents there is no crowd-sourced validation either. That means unknown-code risk is high and you should review any file-writing or schema-touching behaviour line by line. If you need proof of compatibility with your Laravel and PHP versions, write a small spike that exercises the specific helpers you need before committing.
