Use Homestead or Valet.

• PHP >= 7.3.*
• Sqlite
• Node

These services are required for using the payment functionality in this demo.

• Braintree - Sandbox version

Composer and Yarn are required to install and bundle the dependencies.

composer install

cp .env.example .env

# set BRAINTREE_ENV=sandbox
# set BRAINTREE_PRIVATE_KEY=<key>
# set BRAINTREE_PUBLIC_KEY=<key>
# set BRAINTREE_MERCHANT_ID=<key>
# set DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
# set DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
# set DB_PORT=3306
# set DB_DATABASE="/Users/me/projects/animals/database/animals.sqlite"
# set DB_USERNAME=root
# set DB_PASSWORD=

touch database/animals.sqlite

php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
php artisan db:seed

yarn
yarn dev

The demo can be hosted on Heroku in such a way.

For this example the demo is named: laravel-animals.

1. Install Heroku-CLI
2. Provision Heroku add-ons and build-packs:

   heroku apps:create laravel-animals
   heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev --app laravel-animals
   heroku buildpacks:add heroku/php --app laravel-animals
   heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs --app laravel-animals

3. Add Heroku to git remote:

   heroku git:remote --app laravel-animals

4. Set environmental variables on Heroku:

   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals APP_KEY=$(php artisan --no-ansi key:generate --show)
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals APP_URL=$(heroku info -s | grep web_url | cut -d= -f2)
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals MIX_APP_URL=$(heroku info -s | grep web_url | cut -d= -f2 | sed "s/\$/api/g")
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals APP_IMAGE_PATH=images
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=heroku
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals BRAINTREE_ENVIRONMENT=sandbox
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals BRAINTREE_MERCHANT_ID=<id>
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals BRAINTREE_PUBLIC_KEY=<key>
   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals BRAINTREE_PRIVATE_KEY=<key>

5. Deploy to Heroku

   git push heroku master

6. Run demo migrations and optimizations

   heroku run -a laravel-animals php artisan migrate
   heroku run -a laravel-animals php artisan db:seed
   heroku run -a laravel-animals php artisan config:cache
   heroku run -a laravel-animals php artisan route:cache

7. Enable debugging (Optional, be sure not to run this on production, and prune telescope entries regularly)

   heroku config:set --app laravel-animals APP_ENV=development APP_DEBUG=true APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug TELESCOPE_ENABLED=true

Any issues during deployment are usually because of wrong env variables for external services (redis, postgres, braintree, etc).
