Sketchpad is an innovative bolt-on development environment for your existing Laravel site.

It's a place to write, test, experiment and execute code, or just a place to group useful tools and functions you want easy access to.

Overview

Sketchpad provides a complete structure of controllers, methods, views and assets, with automatic routing and many other features.

You can navigate methods, interactively modify parameters, even live-reload the code you're working on, all from a friendly UI.

It comes with a bunch of useful tools and PHP functions to make it easy to develop new and debug existing code.

Uses

  • Test out new coding ideas
  • Develop tools and utilities for everyday work
  • Debug applications in the same environment they're running in
  • Practice with new libraries or APIs with your existing code
  • Give new hires a place to get up to speed with the codebase
  • Double check how that rarely-used function actually works
  • Give all that "secret" or commented-out code somewhere to live
  • Live-document existing features and tools
  • Generate and manage reports
