SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing Laravel/Livewire apps can devolve into over-engineering, making components hard to maintain and tests brittle. This guide provides a concise mindset and practices to keep code simple, predictable, and maintainable across components, tests, and Blade views.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trust the Framework: Leverage Laravel/Livewire built-in validation and state management instead of duplicating logic.
  • Test Behavior, Not Implementation: Validate outcomes and user-visible changes rather than internal mechanics.
  • Let Errors Surface: Fail loudly when something goes wrong to surface actionable feedback for developers.
  • Simple Over Clever: Favor straightforward solutions over premature abstractions.
  • The Happy Path is Usually Enough: Prioritize realistic usage scenarios and avoid testing every edge case.
  • Questions Before You Code: Pause to challenge assumptions before implementing.
