How to Use

You can find the demo online at demo.backpackforlaravel.com, and play around. But some functionality is disabled, for security reasons (uploads, edits to users). If you want to run the demo without restrictions and/or make code edits and see how they're applied, you can install it on your own machine. See below.

Install

IMPORTANT. This demo requires ALL our premium packages. If you do not have access to one of them, you will not be able to install it. To install this demo yourself, make sure you've purchased all our premium add-ons individually, or our Everything bundle - https://backpackforlaravel.com/pricing

1. Run in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/demo.git backpack-demo

2. Set your database information in your .env file (use the .env.example as an example);

3. Make sure the APP_URL in your .env file is correctly pointing to the URL you use to access your application in the browser, for example: http:127.0.0.1:8000 or http://something.test

4. Run in your backpack-demo folder:

composer install
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

Usage

1. Your admin panel is available at http://localhost/backpack-demo/admin
2. Login with email [email protected], password admin
3. [optional] You can register a different account, to check out the process and see your gravatar inside the admin panel.
4. By default, registration is open only in your local environment. Check out config/backpack/base.php to change this and other preferences.

Note: Depending on your configuration you may need to define a site within NGINX or Apache; Your URL domain may change from localhost to what you have defined.

If using docker

This package provides an example docker-compose.yml to launch your database and web server easily

composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Use these parameters in your .env file

APP_URL=http://localhost
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=backpackdemo
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=asdf

Launch docker

docker-compose up -d

Create your database with following command

docker-compose exec db mysql -u root -pasdf -e "create database if not exists backpackdemo;"

Migrate and seed

php artisan migrate --seed

You should see the demo in your browser now

http://localhost/admin

To stop the server simply run

docker-compose down

Note:

In docker, to connect to your database from your GUI use 127.0.0.1 as your database host, instead of localhost
