Open-source Laravel packages

Laravel packages
by Amjad Iqbal.

Small, focused Composer packages for the jobs every Laravel app ends up needing: product tours, toasts, dialogs, a command palette, data tables, sliders and private media viewing, plus developer tools for local package work, faster test databases, OPcache on deploy, MySQL health checks and webhook replay. Each one is MIT licensed, installed with one command and driven from PHP.

01 Onboarding · MIT

Laravel Driver.js

amjadiqbal/laravel-driver-js

Adding Driver.js to a Laravel app usually means hand-writing a script for each page, remembering who has already seen the tour, and wiring it to Livewire yourself.

You define tours and steps in PHP, put <x-driver-js> in the view, and start a tour from a button, Alpine, Livewire or JavaScript. once() shows a tour only the first time a visitor sees it, with no JavaScript to write and no npm build step.

  • Tours and steps built in PHP with Driver.js's own option names
  • Invalid sides, alignments, buttons and hook names rejected before they reach the browser
  • once() auto-starts a tour only the first time a visitor sees it
  • Start a tour from a button, Alpine, a Livewire component or JavaScript

Laravel Sonner: Sonner toast notifications for Laravel, sent from PHP and shown without React.
A Laravel profile settings form with three Sonner toasts stacked in the bottom-right corner: a green Profile saved toast, an Invite sent toast with an Undo button, and a red Payment failed toast.
02 Notifications · MIT

Laravel Sonner

amjadiqbal/laravel-sonner

Sonner is the toast library behind shadcn/ui, but it is a React component, so a Blade or Livewire app cannot use it directly.

Call toast() in a controller or Livewire action and put <x-sonner /> in your layout. A plain JavaScript port of Sonner's Toaster shows the toasts with Sonner's own stylesheet, with no npm install and no build step.

  • toast() helper and Sonner facade that flash toasts to the session
  • Sonner's stacking, animations, swipe-to-dismiss and themes
  • Toasts from Livewire actions appear in the same response
  • Browser API with toast(), toast.success(), toast.promise(), toast.loading() and toast.dismiss()

Laravel Ninja Keys: A Cmd+K / Ctrl+K command palette for Laravel, with the actions defined in PHP.
A Laravel dashboard with the command palette open over it: a search box reading Type a command or search, and actions grouped under Preferences, Billing and Navigate, each with its Alt keyboard shortcut.
03 Command palette · MIT

Laravel Ninja Keys

amjadiqbal/laravel-ninja-keys

Adding the ninja-keys command palette to a Laravel app by hand means writing a script per layout, building the action list in JavaScript, and tracking which actions each user is allowed to see.

You register actions in PHP, hide the ones a user may not use with your Gate abilities, and render the palette with <x-ninja-keys />. ninja-keys 1.2.2 is bundled and self-hosted, so there is no JavaScript to write and no npm build step.

  • Actions built in PHP, with route() and href() for navigation
  • ->can() runs Gate abilities on the server, so hidden actions never reach the browser
  • define() callbacks run at render time with the current user and request
  • Submenus from parent and children ids, or from nested arrays
Laravel 12 and 13 PHP 8.3+ v1.0.0 MIT

Laravel SweetAlert2: SweetAlert2 popups, toasts and confirm dialogs from Laravel controllers, Livewire and Alpine.
A Laravel projects page dimmed behind a SweetAlert2 success popup with a green check mark, the title Invoice sent, the text We emailed it to the client, and a Great! button.
04 Dialogs · MIT

Laravel SweetAlert2

amjadiqbal/laravel-sweetalert2

Showing a popup after a controller redirects, or asking for confirmation before a delete button runs, usually means writing your own JavaScript and passing data through the session by hand.

Queue popups from a controller and they show on the next page, even after more than one redirect. A data-swal-confirm attribute puts a confirm dialog in front of any link, button or form, and Livewire and Alpine can show popups without a page load.

  • Flash one or several popups from a controller; they show in order on the next page
  • Popups survive more than one redirect
  • data-swal-confirm on links, buttons, forms, wire:click and wire:submit
  • $this->swal() in Livewire and a sweetalert2 event in Alpine, with wire:navigate support

Laravel Grid.js: Turn any Eloquent query into a searchable, sortable, paginated Grid.js data table with one fluent PHP call.
A Grid.js customers table with a keyword search box, sortable Name, Email, Plan, MRR and Signed up columns, a Team column from a relation, dollar amounts and dates formatted, an Edit link on each row, and pagination reading Showing 1 to 8 of 108 results.
05 Data tables · MIT

Laravel Grid.js

amjadiqbal/laravel-gridjs

A data table over a large Eloquent query needs search, sort and pagination on the server, plus a data endpoint that must not let the browser choose which model or columns to read. Writing that route, controller and JavaScript for every table is repetitive and easy to get wrong.

You build the grid from your own query in PHP and echo it in Blade. Grid.js fetches one page at a time from a built-in endpoint that only runs the query and columns sealed in an encrypted token, with no route, controller or JavaScript to write.

  • Keeps your query: where clauses, scopes, joins, eager loads and default order
  • Search (LIKE, relation columns included), sort and LIMIT/OFFSET pagination run in the database
  • Encrypted grid token, so the data endpoint never takes a model or column name from the browser
  • Built-in date, datetime, number, currency, boolean and link formats, all escaped

Refresher: A drop-in replacement for Laravel's RefreshDatabase that restores a cached snapshot of your test database instead of running migrate:fresh.
07 Testing · MIT

Refresher

amjadiqbal/refresher

RefreshDatabase runs migrate:fresh, plus your seeders if you seed, once in every test process: every single test you run while you work, every --parallel worker and every CI job. On a real app that is hundreds of CREATE TABLE statements before the first assertion.

The first test process migrates and seeds as usual and saves the database as a snapshot. Every process after that restores the snapshot, until a migration, seeder or factory changes. Your tests, factories and assertions do not change.

  • Drop-in traits for RefreshDatabase and LazilyRefreshDatabase, for PHPUnit and Pest
  • Seeders run once and the seeded database is what gets saved
  • Snapshot key covers migrations (including package paths), seeders and factories, the driver and the migrate:fresh options
  • The key uses file names and contents, so a snapshot cached in CI matches on every runner

Kiln: Artisan commands and an optional signed HTTP route to clear, warm and inspect OPcache when you deploy.
08 Deployment · MIT

Kiln

amjadiqbal/kiln

With opcache.validate_timestamps=0, the recommended production setting, a Laravel app keeps serving stale bytecode after a deploy until the process pool restarts. Resetting OPcache from php artisan does not fix it, because the CLI and the FPM worker pool do not share the same OPcache.

Kiln adds kiln:clear, kiln:warm, kiln:status and kiln:config, plus an optional route that runs the clear or warm inside an FPM worker. The route only accepts temporary signed URLs, and clear and warm are POST-only.

  • Four Artisan commands: kiln:clear, kiln:warm, kiln:status and kiln:config
  • kiln:warm compiles files with opcache_compile_file(), which does not run their top-level code
  • Optional HTTP route that clears or warms OPcache inside an FPM worker
  • The route refuses any signed URL without an expiry, even if the signature is valid

Laravel Media Viewer: Show private PDFs, video and audio from any Laravel disk without making the files public.
A Contract documents page: on the left, a file list with PDF thumbnails for contract.pdf and Q3 report - final.pdf and MP4, M3U8 and MP3 badges for the media files; on the right, a PDF viewer on page 2 of 6 with the word pineapple highlighted as search match 1 of 2.
09 Media viewer · MIT

Laravel Media Viewer

amjadiqbal/laravel-media-viewer

Showing an uploaded file in Laravel usually means a compromise. storage:link makes the file public to anyone with the URL, a plain download route breaks video seeking and makes large PDFs load in full, and the browser's own PDF viewer looks and behaves differently in every browser.

Files stay on a private disk. Blade and Livewire components render a pdf.js viewer and a Video.js player, and each file is served through a signed URL that expires, answers Range requests and, when someone is signed in, only works for that user.

  • pdf.js viewer with page navigation, zoom, text search, full screen and an optional download button
  • Lazy PDF thumbnails: through Range requests the browser fetches only what each page needs
  • Video.js player for video and audio, with seeking over Range requests
  • HLS from a private disk: playlists are rewritten so every segment and key is a signed URL

Laravel Swiper: Swiper sliders, carousels and image galleries for Laravel as Blade components.
An image carousel titled Folder on the public disk, with thumbs: a large blue slide labelled 1, lake at dawn, with previous and next arrows and pagination bullets, above a strip of six thumbnails with the first one highlighted.
10 Carousels · MIT

Laravel Swiper

amjadiqbal/laravel-swiper

Dropping Swiper into a Laravel app is quick, but a Livewire update morphs its markup back to the server HTML: arrows double up, the slide jumps back to the start, and after wire:navigate it never starts. The images also come from storage or models, not a hard-coded array, and carousel accessibility is easy to get wrong.

Navigation, pagination, thumbs, autoplay and effects are typed props on <x-swiper>. Slides come from your own markup, a collection of models or Spatie Media items, or a folder on a storage disk, and a carousel is rebuilt only when its content changed, on the same slide.

  • Typed, validated props for navigation, pagination, thumbs, autoplay, effects and breakpoints
  • Unchanged carousels survive Livewire updates; changed ones are rebuilt on the same slide
  • Starts again after wire:navigate, with no duplicate scripts
  • Image slides from paths, URLs, Eloquent models, Spatie Media items or a storage disk folder, private disks included

Laravel MySQL Advisor: Read-only health checks for the MySQL or MariaDB database behind your Laravel app, with the SQL and the Laravel migration to fix a problem wherever a fix applies.
The MySQL Advisor dashboard in dark mode for a MariaDB 11.8 schema called shop: counters for 0 critical, 3 warnings and 6 notices, the Queries filter selected, and a full-table-scan warning on posts showing the ALTER TABLE statement (marked not run) and the Laravel migration that adds the index, each with a Copy button.
11 Database · MIT

Laravel MySQL Advisor

amjadiqbal/laravel-mysql-advisor

MySQL already records which indexes are never read, which statements scan whole tables and which tiny query runs thousands of times, but nothing in a Laravel app reads that for you. db:show lists sizes and db:monitor counts connections; neither tells you which index to drop or which relation to eager-load.

The advisor reads information_schema, performance_schema and server status, and reports each problem with its severity, the numbers behind it and, where one applies, the fix as SQL and as a Laravel migration or Eloquent snippet. It never runs a fix: every statement it sends is a read.

  • Index checks: unused, duplicate and left-prefix indexes, and *_id columns or foreign keys with no index
  • Query checks from performance_schema: full table scans, top statements by total time, and N+1 suspects
  • Table and server checks: missing primary keys, large and fragmented tables, stale statistics, buffer pool, disk temp tables and connection headroom
  • Each fix shown as SQL and as a Laravel migration; unused indexes are hidden first (INVISIBLE on MySQL, IGNORED on MariaDB)

Laravel Webhook Console: A dashboard and replay tool for the webhooks spatie/laravel-webhook-client stores in your Laravel app.
The Webhook Console dashboard for the webhook_calls table: counters for 11 calls stored, 1 failed with a stored exception, 1 failed in queue and 11 in the last 24 hours, filters for config, status, dates and a payload search, Replay selected and Retry failed buttons, and a list of GitHub, Stripe, Shopify and Paddle calls with their event names and statuses.
12 Webhooks · MIT

Laravel Webhook Console

amjadiqbal/laravel-webhook-console

spatie/laravel-webhook-client stores every webhook your app accepts in the webhook_calls table, but has no screen to look at them. When your process job throws on a real queue worker, the call keeps no exception and the failure only exists in failed_jobs, with nothing that points back to the webhook.

An unofficial, independent dashboard for spatie/laravel-webhook-client (not made or endorsed by Spatie). It lists every stored call with its status, links failed_jobs rows back to their calls, shows payloads and headers with secrets masked, and replays one call or every failure from the dashboard or artisan.

  • List and filter stored calls by config, status, date range, or a search inside the payload and URL
  • Failures include process jobs that failed on a queue worker, linked from failed_jobs without unserializing them
  • Payload keys, header names and URL parameters such as password, secret, token or signature are shown masked
  • Replay one call, the selected calls, or every failure: the call's process_webhook_job is dispatched again
