GitHub Codespaces Development Environment

This repository is configured to use GitHub Codespaces for a cloud-based development environment.

Getting Started

1. Click the "Code" button on the repository's main page.
2. Select the "Codespaces" tab.
3. Click "Create codespace on main".

GitHub will then create a new Codespace and set up the environment for you automatically. This includes:

• Building the Docker containers for the application, database, and Redis.
• Installing all Composer dependencies.
• Creating the .env file.
• Generating the application key.
• Running database migrations and seeding it with sample data.

Usage

• Accessing the application: Once the Codespace is ready, it will automatically forward the application's port (8000). To start the web server, run the following command in the terminal:

  php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000

  You can then access the application from the "Ports" tab in the VS Code editor or by clicking the notification that appears.

• Running Artisan commands: You can run artisan commands directly in the VS Code terminal:

  php artisan route:list

• Running NPM commands: You can also run npm commands in the terminal:

  npm install
  npm run dev
