VIP2CARS can be configured to use any of these databases via the .env file.

Migration System

Laravel’s migration system provides:

Version control for database schema
Rollback capability
Database seeding
Schema builder with fluent API

Production Optimizations

Rollup (Build)

@rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu

4.9.5

Optimized JavaScript bundler for production builds

Native Linux binary for faster builds
Tree-shaking for smaller bundles

CSS Optimization

lightningcss-linux-x64-gnu

1.29.1

Extremely fast CSS parser and transformer

Native Rust implementation
CSS minification
Vendor prefixing

Composer Scripts

Automated development workflows:

{
  "setup": "Install dependencies and setup environment",
  "dev": "Start development servers (app, queue, vite)",
  "lint": "Fix code style issues",
  "lint:check": "Check code style without fixing",
  "test": "Run test suite with linting",
  "ci:check": "Run CI checks"
}

Development Server

composer run dev

Starts three concurrent processes:

PHP Server - php artisan serve
Queue Worker - php artisan queue:listen
Vite Dev Server - npm run dev

The dev script uses concurrently with color-coded output for each service.

NPM Scripts

{
  "dev": "vite",
  "build": "vite build"
}

Development: Real-time compilation with HMR
Production: Optimized, minified assets
