Veloquent

Veloquent is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) built on Laravel. It provides authentication, database, storage, real-time capabilities, and multi-tenancy out of the box.

Core Philosophy

Veloquent is designed to power multiple applications from a single instance, bringing multi-tenant capabilities directly to your workflow. Built on Laravel, it can be deployed anywhere a Laravel application runs. It also includes a built-in admin panel for easy management of your applications.

Key Features

• Dynamic Collections: Create and manage your database tables through a simple UI or API.
• Rich Field Types: Support for a variety of field types, including Text, Number, Boolean, Datetime, Email, Relation, and more.
• Expression-based Rules: Secure your data with granular access control using Firebase-like rules.
• User Management: Built-in authentication for your users with support for standard and OAuth flows.
• Real-time Subscriptions: Build reactive applications with ease using WebSockets.
• Multi-tenancy: Power multiple applications from a single instance.

Agent Support

You can access the documentation in pure Markdown format by appending a .md extension to any page URL.

Example: docs/2.x/getting-started/introduction → docs/2.x/getting-started/introduction.md

Alternatively, you can use /llms.txt or /llms-full.txt to retrieve fully compiled Markdown documentation, ready for use in agent development.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started is to create a new Veloquent project:

1. Create a new Veloquent project

composer create-project veloquent/veloquent app-name
# The composer post-install script will automatically run 'php artisan velo:install', 
# which handles migrations, assets, and initial tenant setup.

1. Start the server

php artisan serve

The server is now available at http://localhost:8000. For more information visit Quickstart Guide.

v2.0 Transition

Starting with version 2.0, Veloquent has transitioned to a package-based architecture (veloquent/core). This change streamlines updates and allows for better integration into existing Laravel 13+ applications.

For users, installation via Composer remains unchanged. For developers, the Packagist namespace has been updated: veloquent/core is now used for the core package, while veloquent/veloquent provides the full project skeleton.
