Template Details
Orion is a Laravel-oriented admin panel starter template whose management interface is provided by MoonShine. It preconfigures MoonShine's basic setup and includes several traits for resource development: WithProperties for applying chainable properties to resources, WithSoftDeletes for implementing soft deletes on resources, and WithTrashedQuery for queries that include soft-deleted records.
On the security side, the template integrates role-based access control (RBAC), including a roles and permissions system. Permissions are generated automatically via the `launch:permissions` command: it scans registered MoonShine resources, creates corresponding permissions, and finally creates a Super Admin role that holds all permissions.
The interface supports English and Spanish. The installation process is to clone the repository, copy .env.example and install Composer and npm dependencies, build frontend assets, then run `php artisan launch:install`, which generates the application key, runs database migrations, creates permissions and the superadmin role, and creates an initial user. The README also mentions running `php artisan boost:install` to generate IDE configuration and agent guidelines.
The template's README does not describe test coverage, deployment methods, or production environment considerations, nor does it list specific version compatibility ranges beyond the dependencies mentioned above; you should verify dependencies and the runtime environment yourself before actual use.
