README

This repository provides custom drivers for both Laravel Valet and Laravel Herb, enabling support for frameworks and tools not officially supported out of the box.

🧰 What is Laravel Valet?

Laravel Valet is a super-fast development environment for macOS (and Linux via Valet Linux), designed for PHP developers. It runs as a local web server using Nginx and DnsMasq to automatically serve projects under a .test domain. Valet is lightweight and ideal for those who prefer minimal overhead without using full virtual machines or Docker.

Laravel Herb is a modern alternative to Valet that provides an isolated and Docker-powered environment, while keeping the simplicity and speed of Valet-style development.

✅ Supported Drivers

• CakePHP 2 – Legacy PHP MVC framework
• ZeroBoard – Classic Korean bulletin board system
• Vite – Modern frontend build tool (for serving Vite projects in dev mode)

🔧 Features

• Plug-and-play support for Valet and Herb
• Auto-detection of project type based on directory structure
• Smooth local development without extra configuration

Whether you're maintaining old-school PHP applications or building fast modern frontends, these custom drivers make local development effortless with both Valet and Herb.
