LaraLens is a Laravel artisan command to show you the current configuration of your application. It is useful to show in your terminal the status of:
- some useful configuration variable;
- the database connection;
- the tables in the database;
- the connection via HTTP request.
When I have a new Laravel Application deployed on the target server, usually I perform a list of commands in order to check the configuration, the connection to database, inspect some tables, the response of the web server. I tried to show more information in just one command. This is useful also when the installation of your Laravel application is on premises, and someone else takes care about the configuration. So, in this scenario usually, as developer, your first question is: "how is configured the application?".
You can install the package via composer:
composer require hi-folks/lara-lens
The Packagist page is: https://packagist.org/packages/hi-folks/lara-lens
php artisan laralens:diagnostic
You can see Database Connection information, and you can choose the table to check, and the column used for the "order by" (default created_at):
php artisan laralens:diagnostic --table=migrations --column-sort=id

php artisan laralens:diagnostic --table=users --column-sort=created_at

You can control the output via the show option. You can define:
