Getting started
{danger.fa-exclamation-triangle} This is the documentation for v1. The new one can be found here.
Hi Crafter, welcome to the official documentation for Craftable - a Laravel-based open-source toolkit for building administration interfaces. It's an administration area minimalistic template. A starting point for developing back-office systems, intranets or a CMS systems.
You could call it CMS, but it's a very slim one, with as little content to manage as possible. It has:
- UI - nice admin template based on CoreUI (http://coreui.io/)
- CRUD generator
- Authorization, My profile & Users CRUD
- Translations manager
- other helpers to quickly bootstrap your new administration area (Media Library, Admin Listing, etc.)
Demo
We have created a demo for you to play around at https://demo.getcraftable.com.

You can see an administration of:
- Posts - this is the standard CRUD generated with
admin-generatorpackage - Translatable Articles - this is the showcase for
translatableeloquent models - Manage access - is a extended CRUD for the User (your existing eloquent model) management
- Translations - where you can manage the translations stored in the database
Made of components
Our intention was to split all the stuff into several packages with as least dependencies as possible. This is what we're coming with at the moment:
- Admin UI - admin template (CoreUI assets, blades, Vue)
- Admin Generator - CRUD generator for Eloquent models
- Admin Authentication - ability to authenticate into Admin area
- Translatable - ability to have translatable content (extending Laravel's default Localization)
- Admin Listing - ability to quickly build a query for administration listing for your Eloquent models
- Media Library - ability to attach media to eloquent models
- Admin Translations - translation manager (with UI)
Craftable uses all the packages above. It also uses some other 3rd party packages (like Spatie's spatie/laravel-permission) and provides some basic default configuration to speed up a development of a typical administration interface.
