Sketchpad is a good-looking, interactive front-end for your Laravel back-end; a place to write, test, experiment and execute code, or just a place to group useful tools and functions you want easy access to.

What it does

It lists controllers and methods from folders of your choice, and allows you to run them without setting up routing, views, etc.

You can navigate to, and run any controller method, even modify parameter values, all from a friendly UI.

It comes with a bunch of useful tools and PHP functions to make it easy to rattle out quick coding tests.

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
