A lightweight PHP toolkit for expressive backend/CLI apps. May contain traces of Laravel.
Install the entire toolkit with Composer:
composer require salient/toolkitOr install only the components you need, e.g. salient/cache, salient/utils and the toolkit's PHPStan extension:
composer require salient/cache salient/utils
composer require --dev salient/phpstanThe Salient toolkit includes the following components, each of which can be installed separately to minimise the dependency footprint of your project.
