LarawellUI’s published workflow is to install its CLI as a Composer development dependency, copy a widget into your Laravel app with Artisan, then rebuild frontend assets. Its creator describes it as copy-and-own Blade source—not a conventional runtime component dependency. The project appears newly launched, so confirm current requirements and commands in its own documentation before relying on them.

What LarawellUI is—and what the creator says it supports

Project creator Krishnaprasad R (RK) describes LarawellUI as a collection of 34 Blade and Tailwind CSS v4 widgets for server-rendered Laravel interfaces, with small vanilla JavaScript files for interactive behavior. Examples include datepickers, date-range and time pickers, select and phone inputs, OTP input, file upload, tables, modals, toasts, tabs, steppers, and tooltips. The figure and feature descriptions are creator-reported in the launch article; a matching launch post mentions roughly twenty more widgets.

The stated distribution model is copy-and-own: the CLI copies selected widget source into your application so you can edit it there. The creator says copied components do not need a runtime connection to a registry. Treat that as the creator’s description, not independently confirmed package behavior.

Stated prerequisites

The launch article lists PHP 8.3 or newer, Laravel 12 or 13, and Tailwind CSS 4. It also says Alpine.js and Livewire are not required. These are launch-time requirements, not independently verified compatibility guarantees. Check current package metadata and project documentation before installing; the launch material does not establish a verified repository or package-registry listing.

The creator also reports testing with Livewire 3 and 4, including wire:model, DOM morphing, and wire:navigate. Keyboard support, ARIA roles and states, right-to-left layouts, locale-formatted dates and numbers, and CSP behavior are likewise claims in the launch material, not independently verified test results or conformance evidence.

Install LarawellUI and add a widget

From your Laravel project root, the creator publishes this command sequence:

  1. composer require --dev larawellui/larawellui adds the CLI package as a development dependency.
  2. php artisan larawell:add datepicker asks its Artisan command to add the datepicker and copy the component and its dependencies into the app.
  3. npm run build rebuilds frontend assets.

These are the published commands; they have not been independently run or verified. To request a different widget, replace datepicker with a name supported by the current project. The launch posts do not give a complete authoritative widget inventory or document all CLI options, so consult current project documentation or command help if available.

The creator also mentions an optional MCP server invoked with php artisan larawell:mcp, along with /llms.txt and JSON registry endpoints. Those endpoints and the command were not independently inspected; confirm their current availability before using them.

Use the installed widget in a Blade view

The launch examples name widgets and describe how to install them, but do not show an actual datepicker usage snippet. Do not assume a component tag or property syntax. After adding a widget, inspect the copied view or component source and the current component reference to determine its exact tag, required data, and supported properties.

For framework context, Laravel documents that Blade components render through component tags and that package components can use the package-name:: namespace convention. That general convention does not establish the specific tag LarawellUI uses. See Laravel’s Blade component documentation.

What happens when you update a copied component?

Copy-and-own source means local changes can complicate upstream updates. The creator says LarawellUI records the state of files it writes in a lock file: during an update, untouched files are replaced, edited files are skipped and listed, and larawell:diff shows upstream changes. The launch posts do not establish the exact update command, lock-file format, conflict behavior, or recovery procedure. Check current command help and documentation before updating, and review any reported differences before applying upstream changes.

The creator’s rationale is summed up in the launch article: “A UI widget is not a hashing library. You will need to change it.”

What to verify before adopting it

  • Confirm the package is currently available and inspect its live metadata, supported versions, and license before adding it to a project.
  • Check that your PHP, Laravel, and Tailwind versions match the project’s current requirements.
  • Verify the widget names, Artisan options, exact Blade usage, and update commands in current project documentation.
  • Evaluate accessibility, localization, CSP handling, and Livewire integration against your own requirements; the launch material makes claims about these areas but does not supply independent validation.
