Artisan commands

Command	Description
lte3:install	Copy the starter views into the project, publish assets, add a route
lte3:link	Symlink AdminLTE and lte3 assets into public/vendor

lte3:install

Interactive. Asks:

1. Dashboard slug (default admin) — converted to snake case; the name of the views directory and the route file
2. Copy files or make symbolic links? — for the AdminLTE dist and plugins

Steps:

1. Stops with a warning if vendor/almasaeed2010 does not exist (composer require almasaeed2010/adminlte)
2. Creates public/vendor/adminlte (warns if it exists and continues) and copies or symlinks dist and plugins into it. Existing links are kept
3. Stops with a warning if resources/views/<slug> already exists
4. Copies the package views auth, examples, layouts, parts into resources/views/<slug> and replaces 'lte3:: with '<slug>. in them. Only quoted view names are rewritten
5. Publishes lte3-assets — a copy of the package public into public/vendor/lte3
6. Writes routes/<slug>.php with Route::view('<slug>', '<slug>.examples.home'); and appends require __DIR__ . '/<slug>.php'; to routes/web.php
7. Runs storage:link if public/storage does not exist

The route has no middleware of its own: it gets the middleware of routes/web.php (web). Add authentication before deploying, e.g. wrap the route file in Route::middleware('auth')->group(...).

Running the command again with another slug creates a second copy and appends one more require to routes/web.php.

lte3:link

Not interactive. For each target that does not exist yet:

• public/vendor/adminlte/dist and public/vendor/adminlte/plugins → vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/... (warns if the package is not installed)
• public/vendor/lte3 → the package public directory
• runs storage:link if public/storage does not exist

The links are absolute. They break when the project is moved or deployed into another path; relative links are shown in Installation.
