In this guide, we’ll show you how to include a dynamic form builder in your Laravel application. With FilamentPHP and the Lara Zeus Bolt plugin, you’ll have a powerful alternative to Google Forms, perfect for various use cases.
1. Setting Up Your Laravel Project with Zeus Starter Kit
Instead of starting from scratch, we’ll use the Zeus Starter Kit, a pre-configured Laravel project that includes everything you need to hit the ground running. This starter kit is designed to save you time by providing a ready-to-use setup.
Clone the Zeus Starter Kit Repository: Begin by cloning the Zeus Starter Kit from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/lara-zeus/zeus your-project-name
Replace
your-project-name
with the desired name for your project.Navigate to Your Project Directory:
cd your-project-name
Install Dependencies: Run the following commands to install the required dependencies:
composer install npm install && npm run build
Set Up Your Environment File: Duplicate the
.env.example
file and rename it to.env
. Then, update the necessary environment variables, such as your database configuration.Generate an Application Key:
php artisan key:generate
Migrate Your Database:
php artisan migrate
Serve Your Application:
php artisan serve
Your application is now up and running, and you can view it in your browser at
http://127.0.0.1:8000
.
2. Installing FilamentPHP
The Zeus Starter Kit comes pre-installed with FilamentPHP, so you can skip the installation step and jump right into using it.
Access the Admin Panel: Visit
/admin
in your browser (e.g.,http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
) and log in using the credentials you set up in your.env
file.Create Your First Admin User: If you haven’t set up an admin user, you can do so by running:
php artisan make:filament-user
3. Using Lara Zeus Bolt
Finally, you can now access Bolt in your Filament admin panel and start creating dynamic forms. For detailed usage instructions, refer to the official Lara Zeus Bolt documentation.
By using the Zeus Starter Kit, you’ve quickly set up a Laravel application with a dynamic form builder that serves as a robust alternative to Google Forms. This setup, enhanced with FilamentPHP and Lara Zeus Bolt, allows you to efficiently manage forms, surveys, and data collection right from your application.
