Laravel

CodeCanyon

  • Laravel/CodeCanyon collection

    Everything for running a CodeCanyon Laravel app — five workflows from first setup to emergency hotfix, plus concepts, cheat sheets, templates, and kits.

    Topic subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Concepts & admin model playbook

    Separate the in-app superadmin from the three-tier ops model, adopt the inspect-then-configure pattern that makes this phase work on any CodeCanyon app, and learn the Playwright + Livewire traps before you touch a single form.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Create the project & bring in the code playbook

    Start here — create the project folder, stage the CodeCanyon download in _source/, bootstrap an anchored .gitignore + git init, promote the Laravel app to the root, prove nothing was missed with a filesystem completeness gate, commit the pristine vendor baseline on author/v* + tag, then write .vscode/ for the AI layer (committed at C2 · machine setup).

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Dependencies & assets playbook

    Authenticate Composer to dodge the rate limit, install PHP and JS dependencies without clobbering vendor patches, audit .env.example for fail-loud placeholders, then build and commit frontend assets.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Deployer (zero-downtime) playbook

    Install Deployer and author deploy.php for atomic releases — symlinked current → timestamped releases, shared storage and .env, retention, hooks, server binary paths, and an SSH-verified dry run.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Harden first playbook

    Treat every shipped secret as compromised — rotate vendor defaults, lock down file permissions, throttle sensitive endpoints, and audit mass assignment + session cookies before anything watches the app.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · MUST path playbook

    The non-negotiable critical path — brand & core settings, transactional mail with DNS auth, a payment gateway with verified webhooks, plans & feature flags, then a full seed + verify pass before launch.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Pre-flight & provision host playbook

    Run the canonical pre-flight (Deployer plan preview + PHP triple-check), prepare and push the staging branch, then scaffold the server — deploy tree, .user.ini limits, and the shared .env with APP_KEY left empty.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Pre-flight security hygiene (P0) playbook

    Never skip this — rotate every test-mode key and staging password that touched a chat or log, migrate plaintext credentials into a secrets manager, re-scope over-privileged service accounts, and record the audit.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Prerequisites playbook

    Verify the local toolchain, then create the private GitHub repo, hosting sites, and databases — and wire passwordless SSH to both servers — before anything depends on them.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · SEO (9A · do first) playbook

    SEO needs a reachable URL, so it leads — sitemap + robots, per-page meta + schema + titles, then Search Console verification and a PageSpeed pass.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Static audit — code, dependencies, git playbook

    Fast, deterministic checks that need no browser — project structure, Composer security audit, git hygiene, code-quality/secrets scan — plus migration analysis and FVDUT storage classification.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Technical readiness (MUST) playbook

    The seven MUST gates that verify the deployed system against reality — git/deploy verification, codebase + security scan, database confidence, env audit, end-to-end testing, monitoring, and final signoff.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Branch strategy playbook

    Choose Option A (solo/small team — one setup branch, one commit per phase) or Option B (a branch per phase, merged via PR), then learn the branch model the rest of the playbook commits against.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Brand kit playbook

    Build the single source of truth for visual identity — brand name, logo variations, a WCAG-checked color palette, typography (including bilingual RTL), reference files committed to the repo, and marketing assets.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · DNS + SSL playbook

    Confirm the staging subdomain resolves to the server and serves a valid TLS chain before the first release lands — a deploy onto an unresolved or untrusted host wastes a round-trip.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Engagement (9B) playbook

    Onboarding, a public changelog, a feedback collection channel, and an optional blog — the streams that keep new users reaching value and existing users informed.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Launch signoff — tiered go/no-go playbook

    The tiered launch decision — Tier 1 blockers must be 13/13, Tier 2 important items launch with documented exceptions, Tier 3 nice-to-haves can defer.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Local database playbook

    Start the local MySQL/MariaDB service, create an empty utf8mb4 schema for the installer, and point .env at it with every secret double-quoted.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Machine setup (once per machine) playbook

    Authenticate the GitHub CLI, register MCP servers, and install the permission-mode switcher and deploy orchestrator — once per machine (your user account), reused by every project.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Release & first production deploy (P1–P2) playbook

    Cut the changelog and version before deploying, then promote staging → production, stage the production .env, deploy dry-run then real, run the installer (first deploy only), and verify it's live.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Security audit playbook

    The full security pass — header grading, ownership-aware vulnerability decisions, blocked sensitive files, admin + storage hardening, and a vulnerability register.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Security headers & packages playbook

    Enforce HTTPS with HSTS + the standard header set in .htaccess, back it with a SecurityHeaders middleware, force HTTPS in production, encrypt high-risk PII fields, and require strong passwords — for Grade A at securityheaders.com (unsafe-inline caps at A until CSP nonces/hashes).

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Subdomains + SSL playbook

    Plan the subdomain map, add A/CNAME records, provision SSL/TLS certificates, force HTTP→HTTPS, and confirm everything with a five-check CLI verification (dig, HEAD, redirect, proxy, cert details).

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Survey & brand profile playbook

    Run the up-front discovery that every later task depends on — a vendor capabilities inventory (what's admin-editable vs hardcoded, what's tier-gated), a vendor-docs digest with the APP_ENV gotcha scan, and a one-page brand profile that answers every "what colour / name / plan?" question before it's asked.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Activity logging playbook

    Give security-relevant events a durable audit trail — install Spatie Activity Log, capture model changes, log auth and GDPR actions, and auto-prune old records so an incident always has a paper trail.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Business & legal readiness playbook

    A customer needs something to land on, a way to pay, and the legal pages that make billing legitimate — landing page, legal pages, transactional email, pricing & payment, analytics & social meta.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Credentials & branding playbook

    Lock the admin account first (default superadmin@example.com / 123456 is publicly known), generate and upload a coherent brand asset kit, resolve the correct PHP binary for every SSH command, then audit and replace the vendor's seeded demo content before any public URL goes live.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Extract & snapshot the vendor playbook

    Extract the CodeCanyon ZIP into a verified Laravel root, capture vendor docs, back up a pristine copy, and identify any author patches inside vendor/ — before a single file is touched.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · First release playbook

    Run the atomic first deploy, confirm APP_KEY and clear caches with the versioned PHP binary, verify the Deployer directory tree and the .env symlink (a 5-second check that prevents a 90-minute outage), confirm demo content, then loosen permissions for the installer.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Harden, verify & sync (P3–P4) playbook

    Lock down installer-friendly permissions, verify schema parity against staging, then sync all branches back to a shared base and tag the release as your rollback and audit anchor.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Payments & billing playbook

    Choose a payment approach from the gateway matrix (Stripe built-in vs from-scratch, PayPal, Tap for MENA, LemonSqueezy as Merchant of Record), then add the production billing depth — model, plans, verified webhooks, tax, dunning, and lifecycle documentation.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Performance, database & SEO playbook

    Measure Core Web Vitals (inspect before changing), audit the live database for index coverage and N+1 queries, and fix anything that blocks Google from indexing public pages.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Production .env playbook

    Assemble a safe production .env — bidirectional drift check against .env.example, a Git-history secret scan, production flags and caches, directory permissions, and a verification pass. The .env lives server-side and is shared by Deployer.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Project constitution playbook

    Write the cross-tool contract (AGENTS.md), the thin CLAUDE.md pointer, and the gitignored CLAUDE.local.md — the persistent project knowledge every agent loads at session start.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Storage, symlinks & SSL playbook

    Create the storage symlink, detect and wire your app's addon system (Modules vs packages vs addons), then link the project to Herd over HTTPS and prove the installer route is reachable.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Support (9C) playbook

    Two customer-facing systems with several alternatives each — a live chat widget and a help center / knowledge base. Pick one tool per row and record the choice.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Accessibility & cookie compliance playbook

    WCAG 2.1 AA checks (automated scanners + manual verification) and GDPR/CCPA cookie inventory with consent gating that actually blocks non-essential cookies.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · CI + ServerSync playbook

    Wire GitHub Actions for deploys and ServerSync — author the workflow, set the GitHub Secrets (PAT, SSH key), keep clear_paths ↔ GIT_ONLY_PATHS symmetric, validate with actionlint, and confirm the run.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Claude config — settings, modes, hooks playbook

    Write the project-wide settings.json, pick a permission mode (strict/medium/yolo), set personal model/thinking/compact defaults in settings.local.json, and wire the hard-block + vendor-edit guard hooks that no mode can override.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Email (SMTP) playbook

    Wire transactional email through the admin panel, and learn the Froiden-family trap where a CustomConfigProvider loads SMTP from the database regardless of APP_ENV — meaning the panel's "APP_ENV changed" warning banner lies and .env MAIL_* values are ignored at runtime.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Email infrastructure playbook

    Confirm and test the transactional mail path, choose a provider from the deliverability matrix, customize the core template set, and (optionally) add drip campaigns and a newsletter — all with SPF/DKIM/DMARC passing.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Initialize the repository playbook

    Set session variables, write .gitignore BEFORE git init so secrets and installed dependencies never enter history, then initialize git on develop and lock down per-directory storage ignores.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Installer + harden playbook

    Temporarily unblock /install, run the CodeCanyon web installer wizard, verify the app loads, then immediately re-block /install + /update and re-harden storage and .env permissions from the installer's insecure 777 state.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Off-server backups playbook

    The one MUST of observability — assess what already exists, wire Spatie Laravel Backup to run daily, and ship to an S3-compatible off-site destination (S3 / Spaces / B2 / R2) under one BACKUP_AWS_* env prefix with the 3-2-1 rule.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Post-deploy monitoring & day-2 (P9) playbook

    Watch closely through the first 24–48h — smoke tests, integration checks, performance/security spot-checks, log triage, and baselines — with rollback always one command away, then the abbreviated subsequent-deploy cycle.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Run the installer playbook

    Raise the PHP-FPM and nginx timeouts so big migration runs don't 504, pre-flight four preconditions, complete the web installer wizard, then capture the admin credentials safely.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Support & onboarding playbook

    Make the path to value short and the path to help obvious — a support surface, a five-minute time-to-first-value flow, and activation funnel tracking.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · DNS email records playbook

    Make transactional email deliverable — verify the email provider, add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records (plus MX), defer CAA to Phase 7, and confirm everything with dig.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Functional QA & debugger review playbook

    Drive every critical journey and role (automate with Playwright MCP), run live security tests, triage by severity, then mine Telescope/Sentry/logs and check for unmerged fixes.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Observability playbook

    Extend the basic Sentry DSN into cron monitors, performance, and release health; add rotated + structured logs; expose a health endpoint with external uptime monitoring; and define alert escalation backed by a quarterly restore drill.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Payments & plans playbook

    Stand up the payment gateway and subscription plans — pick a Stripe account strategy, discover the REAL webhook URL and event list (never assume /stripe/webhook), grab sandbox keys with the three-actor model, paste them into the admin panel (verifying columns with DESCRIBE first), and create plans only after market research unblocks the pricing.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Performance pass playbook

    Capture a Lighthouse baseline, then layer .htaccess browser caching + compression, tune the PHP runtime (OpCache, memory, extensions), verify Redis, enable Cloudflare, and apply accessibility/CSP quick wins — with realistic targets for a vendor-bundled app.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Rules & skills playbook

    Seed .claude/rules/ with the universal behavioral + reference rule set, install the stack skills and deploy orchestrator into .claude/skills/, then restart so the new context loads.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Schedule, migrations + schema playbook

    Install and verify the every-minute schedule:run cron (catching the hPanel "once per minute" preset trap that silently inserts 0 * * * *), then verify migrations and export + diff the staging schema against your local baseline.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Verify migrations & schema playbook

    Confirm every migration ran (modules included), troubleshoot pending ones the right way, capture a normalized schema baseline for cross-environment diffs, then run the 11-point gate that proves the app actually works.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 5 · Wire .env templates playbook

    Back up the vendor's env into the project vault, lay down local/staging/production templates, activate local and generate the app key, then verify the per-environment values that differ.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Cloudflare CDN playbook

    Front the app with Cloudflare on the Free plan — nameserver cutover, API-driven DNS, Full (Strict) SSL + HSTS, WAF and rate limiting, cache rules, DNSSEC, and a final API verification probe. Rocket Loader stays OFF for Laravel.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Commit & freeze the vendor playbook

    Verify the pristine vendor baseline from AI System setup, push develop + author/vX + tag to the private remote, cut your working branch, and prove the seam is clean — without recreating the vendor import.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Commit & secure playbook

    Commit the installer's output (especially the storage/installed marker), document any author patches in the shipped vendor tree, verify deploy symlinks and shared_files, then lock down /install and /update with layered defense.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Cursor & other IDEs playbook

    Wire the project MCP servers (.mcp.json with Laravel Boost) and make Cursor, Gemini, and Codex read the same constitution via a boot rule and thin mirrors.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Legal & consent playbook

    Stand up the three legal essentials — a cookie/GDPR consent banner, a Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service — using the check-first pattern. Each is either an admin-panel field to fill or a deferral to the security/compliance phase, and the consent banner has a hard dependency on the analytics tag from the next page.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Legal, privacy & GDPR playbook

    Decide which legal pages you need, generate and host Privacy + Terms via one generator (GetTerms / Termly / Iubenda), wire a cookie-consent banner, build GDPR data export + deletion-with-grace-period, and finalize with ROPA + DPAs.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Optional integrations playbook

    Surface (don't silently skip) the optional integrations — Slack notifications for errors/deploys/backups, GitHub project management (labels, issue forms, project board, PR template), and privacy-first Rybbit analytics.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Pre-launch sign-off playbook

    The final gate — walk the pre-launch checklist across blockers, infra, security, monitoring, payments, comms, legal, content, and team readiness, then execute the launch sequence.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 6 · Rollback + monitor playbook

    Prove a one-command rollback restores the previous release, then run the full post-deploy monitoring sweep — auth, features, integrations, mobile, performance, DB integrity, logs, security, and three end-to-end journeys — across a 24–48h window, log findings, and clear the Phase 5 gate.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Compliance tracks (SOC 2 · HIPAA) playbook

    Reference for when SOC 2 and HIPAA enter the picture — applicability tests, cost and timeline, what each involves, and the platforms that automate evidence collection. Most CodeCanyon SaaS launches skip both.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Optional enhancements playbook

    Project-structure scaffolding (Admin-Local vault + docs), commit & documentation standards with the Zaj customization strategy, and version management (SemVer + CHANGELOG) — SHOULD, not skip-by-default.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Optional tooling playbook

    Optional power-ups for the local environment — Atlas schema management, a database GUI (Bytebase), Redis caching via Herd Pro, and a right-sized debug-tools stack. None block launch; each has a free fallback.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Post-launch identity & changelog playbook

    Two post-launch tasks — claim social-media handles early (even before you post) and wire the dual changelog (internal + public) so every stable release ships with an announcement.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Release + incident response playbook

    Close the phase — bootstrap or update the changelog and version, tag the release, then stand up an incident-response runbook (Sentry, uptime, SSL expiry, severities, contacts) wired into the repo as dev-only.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · ServerSync capture playbook

    Capture server-side changes the web installer made (config, storage markers, generated files) back into Git via the ServerSync GitHub Actions workflow — verifying workflow availability and version parity, re-auditing clear_paths ↔ GIT_ONLY_PATHS, triggering the run, and reviewing the resulting PR file-by-file.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Theme & system pages playbook

    Apply your brand colours through the admin panel (or defer to code), confirm the error pages (404/500/503) are branded rather than raw Laravel defaults, and prepare a branded maintenance-mode page you can flip on safely with a bypass token.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 7 · Verify & gate playbook

    Run the AI System verification checklist, confirm the gate condition, and hand off to Code & repository setup with the AI System fully wired.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 8 · Deep codebase audit playbook

    A staging-time deep audit of the codebase — project structure, composer security audit, Git hygiene, FVDUT storage persistence, secret + debug-code scans (with the word-boundary fix for dd()), storage-tracked-file triage, CodeCanyon frontend anti-patterns, and an optional schema audit.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 8 · Engagement & SEO playbook

    Wire the growth surfaces — GA4 analytics via the universal 3-file Safe Vendor Deviation Pattern (the canonical example), plus the lighter check-first tasks for a chat widget, social login, the blog system, and the sitemap. Most CodeCanyon scripts ship zero built-in analytics, so the deviation path is the common case.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 9 · Atlas Cloud (optional) playbook

    Optionally register your schema with Atlas Cloud for versioned migration tracking — open the SSH tunnel, build a baseline migration from the staging schema, push it to Atlas Cloud, apply the baseline to staging, and wire up GitHub CI. Requires an active Atlas Cloud license; free alternatives noted.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Full roadmap & checklist playbook

    The entire setup-new playbook on one page — 12 phases, every step, every gate. Read the workflow top to bottom or tick progress as you go.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 1 · Set up the AI System playbook

    Stand up the agent operating system for a CodeCanyon Laravel app — the constitution, permission modes, rules, skills, and IDE wiring that every later phase relies on.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 10 · Audit & QA playbook

    The full pre-launch audit — static code & dependency checks, a security re-check, performance/DB/SEO/accessibility audits, functional QA across roles, debugger review, and a pre-launch sign-off gate.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 11 · Pre-customer checklist playbook

    The final go/no-go gate before the first real customer — technical verification, business and legal readiness, support and docs, then a tiered launch signoff.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 12 · Deploy to production playbook

    Go live safely — pre-flight security hygiene, the first production release and installer, schema and branch verification, version tagging, and 24–48h post-deploy monitoring with a rollback always ready.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 2 · Code & repository setup playbook

    Extract the CodeCanyon vendor ZIP cleanly, initialize git with a frozen vendor snapshot and branch strategy, and wire .env templates — so every later vendor update diffs cleanly.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 3 · Local development playbook

    Install dependencies, build assets locally, run the CodeCanyon installer, and get the app booting at a local HTTPS domain with login working — the first time you see it run.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 4 · Deploy pipeline playbook

    Stand up everything that makes deployment possible — Deployer for zero-downtime releases, subdomains + SSL, production .env, and (recommended) CI, DNS email records, and a CDN — so `dep deploy staging` just works.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 5 · Staging deploy playbook

    Take the app from "runs locally" to "runs on a real server" — provision the staging host, point DNS, ship the first atomic release, run the web installer, verify the schema, and prove rollback before a 24–48h monitoring window.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 6 · SuperAdmin setup playbook

    Log in as the superadmin and configure everything the vendor exposes in the admin panel — branding, theme, email, payments, plans, legal pages, and analytics — using a check-first pattern that adapts to any CodeCanyon app.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 7 · Security & monitoring playbook

    Harden the deployed app (rotate vendor defaults, TLS/HSTS, security headers, rate limits, session/mass-assignment audit), add an audit trail, then make it observable — off-server backups, Sentry, uptime, logs — and close out the legal layer (GDPR, cookie consent) and compliance tracks (SOC 2 / HIPAA).

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 8 · Configure the app playbook

    Wire the live product end-to-end — branding, mail, payment gateways, integrations, and plan/feature flags — then seed and verify every flow before launch.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Phase 9 · Growth & polish playbook

    The pass that makes the product feel finished — SEO (sitemap, meta, schema, Search Console), onboarding/changelog/feedback/blog, and customer-facing chat + help center. Mostly SHOULD with many alternatives.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Set up a New CodeCanyon App playbook

    Deploy a CodeCanyon Laravel application from ZIP to production, step by step — AI-assisted, 12 phases.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • CodeCanyon workflows playbook

    Command router for a CodeCanyon Laravel app across its whole lifecycle — from first-time setup through daily operations like ship, vendor updates, hotfix, rollback, server sync, security, modules, and docs.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Ship — code → test → deploy playbook

    The everyday deploy loop (WF-SHIP) — decide small vs big, work on develop, clear the pre-deploy database safety gate (Atlas lint — STOP on DS102/DS103), then run the develop → staging → production sequence and tag the release.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Server sync — capture server changes playbook

    Capture untracked server / admin-panel changes (uploads, installer output, config) back into git with WF-SYNC before a deploy overwrites them — reviewing the file list first and never staging secrets.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Continuous Develop & Deploy playbook

    The everyday loop for a live CodeCanyon Laravel app — code, test locally, ship to staging then production behind a database safety gate, and sync server-side changes back into git.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · The decision rule playbook

    Three questions that route any change to the right update-safe home — a ZajModule package, the vendor-customizations overlay, or a _zaj migration that adds marked columns to a vendor table — so nothing you build is lost on the next vendor update.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Build a ZajModule playbook

    Build new functionality as a self-contained ZajModule package under packages/ZajModules/ — directory structure, namespace and naming conventions, and the event-driven pattern that keeps it isolated from vendor code and safe across updates.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Vendor customizations playbook

    When a vendor file must be edited, store the edited copy in the resources/vendor-customizations/ overlay that mirrors vendor paths, mark your changes with ZAJ:BEGIN/END markers, and re-apply the overlay after every composer install overwrites vendor/.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 4 · Track and restore playbook

    Keep a MOD-NNN tracking log and a _CUSTOMIZATIONS file documenting every vendor patch, and run restore-vendor-customizations.php to re-apply your overlay automatically after composer install or a vendor update overwrites vendor/.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Implement Customizations playbook

    Add custom features to a CodeCanyon Laravel app without losing them on the next vendor update — the ZajModules + vendor-customizations system.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Compare the schema playbook

    Diff the new vendor release against your frozen author-vX.X.X snapshot — list pending migrations, preview the SQL, run an Atlas schema diff, and classify every change by risk so a destructive operation never reaches the database by surprise.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Apply the update playbook

    Tag a backup, branch the frozen author baseline to author/vY.Y.Y, drop in the new vendor files, then merge to develop and run migrations safely — every step reversible until the update is proven.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 3 · Restore customizations playbook

    Re-apply your vendor-customizations overlay with the restore script after composer install reverts vendor/, confirm every ZajModule, zajm_ table, and _zaj column survived untouched, verify the patches behaviourally, then deploy staging-first.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Implement Vendor Updates playbook

    Apply a new CodeCanyon vendor release without losing your customizations or breaking the database — compare the schema, apply the update on a branch, then restore your overlay.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 1 · Hotfix forward playbook

    Branch from production state, make the minimal scoped fix, fast-track straight to production skipping staging, then back-merge so the fix survives the next release.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • 2 · Roll back playbook

    Restore the last good release via the deployer symlink or a known-good tag — when to roll back versus fix forward, the database-migration caveat, and post-incident steps.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Emergency Hotfix playbook

    Production is broken — the fast, safe path to patch a live CodeCanyon Laravel app and roll back if needed.

    Build subcategory: laravel
  • Laravel/CodeCanyon — Handbook handbook

    The mental models behind running a CodeCanyon Laravel app — when a change is a module vs a customization, where admin files live, how to extend the schema safely, and how to version your fork.

    Learn subcategory: laravel
  • Schema management handbook

    Extending a vendor's database safely — additive _zaj migrations that add marked columns to vendor tables, zajm_ module tables, soft references, and never editing a vendor migration.

    Learn subcategory: laravel
  • The three-tier admin model handbook

    Where your ops files live — Admin-Local in the project repo, Admin-Domain as per-domain runtime state, and Admin-Server shared across the whole hosting account.

    Learn subcategory: laravel
  • Version management handbook

    Two version lines that never get confused — SemVer for your own fork versus the vendor's author-vX.X.X snapshots — plus CHANGELOG discipline that keeps upgrades calm.

    Learn subcategory: laravel
  • ZajModules vs customizations handbook

    The core mental model — deciding whether a change is a new ZajModule, a vendor customization, or a schema extension, and why that split keeps your app update-safe.
