Core

Description

Core is the backend shell of a Laravel Enso application.

It aggregates the packages required for a standard Enso installation, registers the framework-level service providers and middleware stack, exposes the base authentication and SPA endpoints, builds the frontend boot state, manages user preferences, publishes shared assets, registers core mail previews, and provides a handful of operational commands used across Enso projects.

It is the package that turns the rest of the Enso ecosystem into a coherent application runtime.

Installation

This package is intended to be installed as the main backend dependency of an Enso application:

composer require laravel-enso/core

After installation, run the standard setup steps:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

If you want to publish the package resources, the relevant tags are:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-seeders
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-assets

The package automatically:

• loads API routes
• loads migrations
• loads core mail views
• registers core mail previews through laravel-enso/mails
• registers Enso service providers
• configures the Eloquent factory resolver for package models

Features

• Provides the base Enso API shell, including guest meta, SPA home state, auth routes, and preferences routes.
• Provides a read-only System > Logins table for login history, with user and datetime interval filtering.
• Registers the core middleware group used by authenticated Enso routes.
• Configures password policy defaults from enso.auth.password.
• Builds the SPA boot state from state providers discovered across Enso packages.
• Persists per-user global and route-level preferences.
• Publishes shared image assets.
• Requires laravel-enso/mails for shared mail layouts, components, and preview registration.
• Registers reset and set password mail notifications and previews in the shared Enso mail preview catalog through a dedicated MailServiceProvider.
• Registers operational commands for version reporting, storage resets, preference resets, preference upgrades, and app-update notifications.
• Integrates login tracking, password reset flows, websocket support, route authorization, localisation, impersonation, and action logging through the wider Enso stack.

Usage

The package exposes the guest meta endpoint:

route('meta');

Authenticated clients bootstrap the SPA state through:

route('core.home.index');

Preferences can be updated per route or globally through:

route('core.preferences.store', ['route' => 'administration.users.index']);
route('core.preferences.reset');

Useful built-in commands:

php artisan enso:version
php artisan enso:preferences:reset
php artisan enso:preferences:update-global
php artisan enso:storage:reset
php artisan enso:announce-app-update

The frontend counterpart for the API shell and shared UI runtime lives in the Enso UI package:

• @enso-ui/ui ↗

::: warning Note core.home.index does not return a Blade page. It returns the merged state payload produced by the Enso state builder, grouped by frontend store. :::

Built-in state providers include:

• Meta
• Preferences

• theme updates
• language updates
• reset to factory defaults

• enso:version (works with a github token, if neccesary)
• enso:preferences:reset
• enso:preferences:update-global
• enso:storage:reset
• enso:announce-app-update

Events and Notifications

Events:

• LaravelEnso\Core\Events\Login

Login History

Model:

• LaravelEnso\Core\Models\Login

The package records successful logins and exposes them through the system.logins Enso table. The table includes user, IP, user agent, and login datetime columns. Login history is read-only and supports filtering by user and by created_at interval.

Upgrade support:

• LaravelEnso\Core\Upgrades\LoginCreatedAtIndex adds the logins.created_at index for existing installations.
