Laravel's framework core, as its README presents it

Laravel is described as a web framework with expressive, elegant syntax that eases the common tasks in most web projects, and this repository holds the core code.

DEEP OPEN-SOURCE ANALYSIS

Where the core lives

A note at the top of the README says this repository contains the core code of Laravel, and that anyone building an application should use the main Laravel repository instead. GitHub lists PHP as the primary language, the MIT license, and a homepage at laravel.com. The note is direct about the split: this is the core, and the main repository is where application work happens.

The easing features

The README promises to take the pain out of development by easing tasks used in the majority of web projects: a simple fast routing engine, a powerful dependency injection container, multiple back ends for session and cache storage, database agnostic schema migrations, background job processing, and real time event broadcasting. It adds that Laravel is accessible yet powerful, a combination of simplicity, elegance, and innovation meant to give a complete toolset for building any application.

Learning and contributing

Laravel's documentation and video tutorials are described as extensive, with Laracasts holding thousands of videos on Laravel, modern PHP, unit testing, and JavaScript, and Laravel Learn guiding a build from scratch. Bite sized lessons with real world projects are mentioned too, along with a guide to building an application from scratch while learning PHP fundamentals. Contributors are pointed to the contribution guide in the documentation and asked to follow the code of conduct.

Editorial conclusion

This is the README's own picture of the framework: a promise about syntax, a list of easing features, and pointers to learning material. Building an app with it is left entirely to the reader.
