Dev Notes

The intro docs have you using Composer to pull in all its dependencies, which come to about 100mb. Apparently it should be possible to turn off development bundles, but not sure I’ve done it yet.

This composer.json:

{
	"require": {
		"laravel/framework": "4.0.*"
	},
	"autoload": {
		"classmap": [
			"app/commands",
			"app/controllers",
			"app/models",
			"app/database/migrations",
			"app/database/seeds",
			"app/tests/TestCase.php"
		]
	},
	"scripts": {
		"pre-update-cmd": [
			"php artisan clear-compiled"
		],
		"post-install-cmd": [
			"php artisan optimize"
		],
		"post-update-cmd": [
			"php artisan vendor-cleanup",
			"php artisan optimize"
		]
	},
	"config": {
		"preferred-install": "dist"
	},
	"minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Should cut file size down with the vendor-cleanup, but I’m wondering if the artisan command does nothing on my local system. When did it get into Windows?

Code Bright takes a different approach, pulling from GitHub. Haven’t tried it yet though.
