I found this small tool was super useful during the past few months, whenever I needed to create a new twill app either for testing purpose or as a real world product.

The only problem at that time was it cost too much time on compiling assets, however, thanks to the Twill 1.2.1 release which get Laravel Mix 4 updated, the installation time now has been decreased significantly by almost 200%.

Thus now maybe a good time to share it with all other developers who love Twill.

Requirements

PHP >= 7.1.3
An empty MySQL database
Composer

Usage

First, download the create-twill-app package using Composer:

composer global require yanhaoli/create-twill-app

Then, use the installer to create a fresh twill application:

create-twill-app new blog

It will ask you to enter the database infomation during the installation:

Enter your database host ["127.0.0.1"]:  127.0.0.1
Enter your database username ["homestead"]:  homestead
Enter your database password ["secret"]: secret
Enter your database name ["homestead"]:  homestead

Once you see the message Laravel development server started:, that means the installation has been completed.

Now, access Twill's beautiful login console by typing http://localhost:8000/admin in your browser, enjoy!

Hi there, First of all I would like to thank you all for such a great and amazing product which I bet took a lot of energy and time. Secondly, can anyone guide me why I can't run it locally on my Mac with MYSQL, I'm following all the steps even migration is working fine but when I go to php artisan serve ( 127.0.0.1:8000) and trying to go to admin panel (127.0.0.1:8000/admin) it returns 404.. any help, please ?

at the moment Twill supports up to Laravel 5.8 but you can check our progress on Laravel 6 support on GitHub. We are planning to release Twill 2.0 with Laravel 6 support in the next 2 weeks.

nope, as the create-twill-app is using a different version system from twill, ao-li/create-twill-app/releases. The newest version for it is 1.0.2
