Complete Laravel Starter Package

LaraStarter is package designed to streamline the process of setting up a Laravel-based web application with a variety of essential features. It appears to offer several components and functionalities that can significantly accelerate the development process, especially for those who are looking to create a web application without having to build the basic foundation from scratch.

Features

• Multi Auth User Management: This suggests that LaraStarter provides the capability to manage multiple types of users, each with their own authentication and authorization settings.
• ReCAPTCHA v3 on Login & Registration: ReCAPTCHA v3 is a Google service that helps prevent automated bots from interacting with your website. Integrating it with the login and registration process enhances security.
• Email Verification: Email verification is an important security and user validation step, ensuring that users' email addresses are valid and they have control over the email used for registration.
• Password Reset: A password reset feature is crucial for user convenience and security. It allows users to regain access to their accounts in case they forget their passwords.
• AJAX Datatable: AJAX-powered datatables provide a smoother and more interactive user experience when dealing with tabular data, often used for displaying data in a dynamic and responsive manner.
• Basic Essential Site Settings: These settings could include things like site title, description, logo, and other basic configurations that are commonly required for a web application.
• Complete CMS with Categories: This indicates that LaraStarter comes with a Content Management System (CMS) that supports content creation, management, and organization through categories. This is particularly useful for building websites with dynamic content.

Tech

LaraStarter uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• [Jquery] - jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.
• [adminlte.io] - Best open source admin dashboard & control panel theme.
• [datatables.net] - DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library.
• [getBootstrap.com] - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps

And of course laraStarter itself is open source with a [public repository][dill] on GitHub.
