Have you ever tried to build a complete admin panel in Laravel from zero?

It takes lots of energy and time and, you may not like what you have built.

I had the same problem as you, When I was trying to make an admin panel and I think to myself and I said: Reza there are lots of people who want to build a beautiful admin panel like you, make your module more flexible and share It in Github.

Wow, It's very good I should do it for the open-source community.

So I decided to build an admin panel module and because I love Livewire I decided to do that with Livewire.

If You don't know what is Livewire I should tell You It is a Fullstack framework and makes You needless from Javascript frameworks.

Come on dude, don't say too much show us your package...

Ok, let me tell you about [EasyPanel](https://github.com/rezaamini-ir/laravel-easypanel).
EasyPanel is an admin panel package for Laravel and You can build your admin panel in 2 minutes (maybe less than 2 minutes).

There are some features of EasyPanel : 
* Create CRUD in the config file.
* Manage route prefix and addresses
* Beautiful UI/UX with AdminMart template
* Add/remove Admins with command line
* Every UserProviders and Authentication classes are customizable and you can change them
* You can create your own routes and customize our views and components
* Manage pagination count
* Multi lang
* Real-time validation with Livewire
* Customize every action in your project
* A small and beautiful TODO (You can disable it in your config)
* Create a nice and responsive view based on your data in the config file for every CRUDs
* Custom validation based on the config file
* Ajax search with Livewire in every column you want

So We saw the features, But let's build an admin with articles section (Create, Read, Update, Delete)

first of all, We must install the package (how 🤔)
Don't be afraid It's very easy as the package name.

Install the package with Composer.
```
composer require rezaamini-ir/laravel-easypanel
```

next, We should publish configurations and styles (Just with one command) :
```
php artisan panel:install
```

Congratulations 👏! You have installed the package.

Now We have access to the config file in `config` directory and we can pass our cruds to `actions` key in the `easy_panel.php` file.

To create a CRUD we must pass 3 steps:

**1- Create a CRUD config file.**

To create a CRUD config we must run this command out: 
```
php artisan panel:config Article
```
which Article is our model name.
the file will be created in `resources/cruds/article.php`

**2- Config our CRUD file and pass the data that we want.**

let's write our array in the CRUD file :

```php
return [
    'model' => \App\Models\Article::class,

    // searchable field, if you dont want search feature, remove it
    'search' => ['title', ['user' => 'name']],

    // Manage actions in crud
    'create' => true,
    'update' => true,
    'delete' => true,

    // Validation in update and create actions
    'validation' => [
        'title' => 'required',
        'content' => 'required|min:30',
    ],

    // Write every fields in your db which you want to show
    'fields' => [
        'title' => 'text',
        'content' => 'textarea',
        'image' => 'file'
    ],

    'store' => [
        'image' => 'image/articles'
    ],

    //Default that data you want to pass in create and update actions, Do not you want? Delete this key.
    'extra_values' => [
        'user_id' => 'auth()->user()->id'
    ],

    // which kind of data should be showed in list page
    'show' => ['title', 'image',  ['user' => 'name']],
];

```
Now we must pass 'article' value in our config file in `config/easy_panel.php` in `actions` key like:

```php
'actions' => ['article', 'user']
```

**3- Run CRUD creator command:**
with one command We can create our CRUD action with routes and everything which a panel needs...
`
php artisan panel:crud article
`

Now we have an admin panel with an Article section and a default TODO list.
So easy 😁.

Let's see what we build :
