Overview

GreenLight is a small CMS package for Laravel, developed by Greenroom. The general purpose of this package is providing a light CRUD / CMS platform based on reusable components as a common ground for our further projects.

History

The predecessor of GreenLight existed in the form of a full Laravel instance, not utilising semver and any form of package builds. After a while it turned out to be barely maintainable, as developing a codebase that is strictly tied to a specific Laravel version was not a flexible enough solution. Transforming the project into a light Laravel package meant the reusability and flexibility we needed.

Key benefits of GreenLight

• Provides an easily maintainable, extendable and overridable codebase lying on Laravel
• A set of 3rd party dependencies bundled, that were tested and fit the majority of our projects and help speeding early development up
• Developer boilerplates (both frontend and backend)
• A CRUD interface that can be used and extended based on your project's needs
• Initial migrations, seeds to easily start a new project
• Various minor helper functions
• Placeholders
