Core requirements
- PHP 8.3+
- Laravel 12 or 13
- Livewire 3.6+ or 4
Composer installs these ArtisanPack UI packages with it:
| Package | Version | Why |
|---|---|---|
artisanpack-ui/ecommerce |
^1.2 |
The engine: boards, columns, cards, moves, widgets, automations, and the board broadcasts. 1.2 adds manual card order, the filterable card query, board events, card refresh, widget config, and the column service. |
artisanpack-ui/livewire-ui-components |
^2.1 |
Every button, input, select, modal, drawer, dropdown, and toast |
artisanpack-ui/core |
^1.0 |
Shared helpers |
artisanpack-ui/hooks |
^1.2 |
The filters and actions used for extension |
php artisan ecommerce-kanban:install warns when the installed engine is older than 1.2.0.
Front-end requirements
The package ships no build. Your application needs:
- Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI 5 (pin
daisyuito~5.0; see Front-End Setup) - Vite with
laravel-vite-plugin @artisanpack-ui/livewire-drag-and-drop2.1.0 or later, imported in your main script. 2.1 adds what the board relies on: dragging between columns, keyboard moves between columns, translatable announcements, and putting a refused drop back.
Alpine comes with Livewire. Do not import it again.
Access
The engine denies every ability by default. Users need at least kanbanBoard.viewAny and kanbanBoard.view to see a board. See Authorization.
Real-time updates (optional)
For live boards, a Laravel broadcaster (for example Reverb or Pusher), Laravel Echo on window.Echo, a queue worker, and the engine's ECOMMERCE_KANBAN_BROADCAST=true. Without them the board polls. See Real-Time Updates.
Optional packages
The board detects these at runtime and uses them when present:
| Package | What it adds |
|---|---|
artisanpack-ui/ecommerce-admin-livewire |
The board renders inside the admin's layout. "Open in admin" on the card slide-out, "Advanced settings" in edit mode, "Create board" on an empty picker, and "Add" / "Edit" in the automations panel link to the admin's screens. The admin links to the board from its navigation and order screens. |
artisanpack-ui/cms-framework |
The board renders inside the cms-framework admin layout, and the "Kanban" menu entry appears in its admin menu. |
laravel/reverb |
A broadcaster for real-time sync. Any Laravel broadcaster works. |
See Layouts for how the layout is chosen.
