Overview

The motivation behind this starter package is to provide a default starting point for web apps using Laravel 5.2 & Angular 1.5.
Providing sane defaults for most of the plugins & packages used.

This project does not aim to include as many libraries as possible. For example, there isn't any icon font library installed by default because, even though Google's Material Design Icons sounds like the best fit, some users might be more comfortable with Font Awesome.

Why Angular Material?

Angular Material plays nicely with Angular.
This starter package does not include jQuery by default. Only include it if you really need it.

Libraries involved

This repository is a starter package that is built on top of many popular open source frameworks. Those packages have been configured to work in harmony, however you need to familiarize yourself with these libraries in order to be able to work with this starter package.
These are the libraries involved:
