TinkerBest

A simplified Tinkerwell clone for executing Laravel/PHP code with Docker/Sail support. Built with Tauri for a lightweight native experience.

Features

• Execute PHP/Laravel code on any Laravel project
• Monaco Editor with PHP syntax highlighting
• Docker/Laravel Sail support with container selection
• Auto-detection of project type (Laravel version, PHP version, Docker/Sail)
• Auto-import of Laravel models (use User::first() without full namespace)
• Real-time output display
• Keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Enter to run)
• macOS native app (~10MB vs ~150MB with Electron)

Requirements

• Rust (for development)
• Node.js 18+
• For running code:
  • PHP installed locally, OR
  • Docker with Laravel Sail setup

Installation

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

The built DMG will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/.

Usage

1. Click "Select Project" to choose your Laravel project directory
2. The app will auto-detect:
   • If it's a Laravel project
   • PHP version
   • Docker/Sail availability
   • Running containers
3. Write your PHP/Laravel code in the editor
4. Press Cmd+Enter or click "Run" to execute
5. Toggle "Use Docker/Sail" and select a container if needed

Code Examples

// Models are auto-imported!
$users = User::all();
dump($users->count());

// Database queries
DB::table('users')->first();

// Config values
config('app.name');

// Date/Time
now()->toDateTimeString();

// Eloquent relationships
User::with('posts')->first();
