Is there a best practice for using other demos with laravel? I've looked at the documentation and I don't see anything helpful. I mean, I can take the html version of the demo and make it work with laravel just like any other, and the starter kit is a little bloated with plugins and helpers --many great features, but more than I need. So if I manually set up a laravel project with the required assets, I'm worried it would be difficult to update in the future if there's an update release.
Anything would be great. Thanks!
Hi daniel
If you’re comfortable building with Laravel based on your own setup and specific needs, it’s actually a good move to start from scratch using HTML version. That way, you only include what you need and avoid bloat.
You can still refer to Metronic’s Laravel integration to understand how to wire up the assets, layouts, and components, it’s useful as a reference even if you don’t use the full starter.
As for updates, you are right, it’s a bit of a manual process. But if your asset structure is clean and modular, you can replace or update parts when newer versions release. You just need to be aware of what changed and decide whether need to merging into your version.
Thanks
