πŸš€ Quick start

Install the Prezet package:

composer require benbjurstrom/prezet

Run the package installer:

⚠️ NOTE: Before running the installer on an existing application it is recommended to switch to a clean branch so you can see the changes Prezet made during the installation process.

php artisan prezet:install

Update the index:

After adding or modifying your markdown files, you need to update the index to reflect these changes:

php artisan prezet:index

This command updates the SQLite index with the latest front matter information from your markdown files. Run this command whenever you:

  • Add a new markdown file
  • Change a markdown file's slug
  • Modify front matter and want to see those changes reflected on the index page

Note that changes to the main content of your markdown files don't require updating the index, as this content is read directly from the file when displaying a single post.

Start your server:

php artisan serve
