Installation

Install Laravel Page Builder using Composer.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11.x, 12.x, or 13.x

Install via Composer

composer require coderstm/laravel-page-builder

The package auto-registers its service provider via Laravel's package discovery.

Run the Install Command

php artisan pagebuilder:install

This single command:

1. Publishes config/pagebuilder.php
2. Publishes frontend assets and static files
3. Scaffolds default starter views into your app:
   • resources/views/layouts/page.blade.php — base HTML layout
   • resources/views/sections/ — announcement, header, hero, rich-text, content, page-content, footer
   • resources/views/blocks/ — row, column, text
   • resources/views/templates/ — page.json
4. Automatically runs the Page Builder database migrations

Options

Flag	Description
--force	Overwrite files that already exist

# Overwrite existing files during installation
php artisan pagebuilder:install --force

Publish the Config

The install command publishes the config automatically. If you need to re-publish it later:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=pagebuilder-config

This creates config/pagebuilder.php in your application. See Configuration for all available options.

Verify Installation

1. Visit your application in the browser
2. Add ?editor=true to any page URL
3. You should see the visual editor interface

# Example: Visit http://your-app.test?editor=true

The editor uses two query parameters:

• ?editor=true — loads the editor frame (the React SPA)
• ?pb-editor=1 — activates editor mode (data attributes, CSS classes)
