Fresh Package: Laravel Package Skeleton with Testbench, CI, and Boost Integration

Read on laravel-news.com

Summary

Fresh is an opinionated Laravel package skeleton that bundles testing tools, CI pipelines, a Testbench workbench app, and optional Vue 3 frontend and AI Boost skill support. It lets you generate a new package with a single composer command and includes version switchers, static analysis, and GitHub Actions out of the box.

  • Fresh bundles PHPUnit, Larastan, Rector, Pint, and Paratest for parallel testing out of the box.
  • A Testbench workbench app lets you run the package via `composer serve` without a host Laravel application.
  • Composer version switchers (`switch:l12`, `switch:l13`) enable local testing against Laravel 12 and 13.
  • GitHub Actions matrix covers PHP 8.3‑8.5, Laravel 12/13, Codecov, static analysis, auto‑fixes, and release‑please releases.

Package authors building Laravel extensions will save setup time and get built‑in testing, CI, and AI‑assisted scaffolding.
