We’re thrilled to announce the release of Laravel Decomposer v1.3, a long-overdue but much-needed update for a package that has quietly supported developers for years by providing a quick, comprehensive snapshot of a Laravel application’s configuration.
Why?
Every Laravel developer, at some point, has found themselves needing to quickly assess the environment an application is running in—whether it’s for debugging, support, or just general sanity checking. Laravel Decomposer was built to solve that exact problem.
With a single route, it gives you a Detailed Application Report: PHP version, server details, installed packages, environment config, Laravel version, and more—all at a glance. It’s especially useful when managing multiple environments or assisting team members and clients remotely.
Built from a Need
Laravel Decomposer was created as an internal tool to support our users of Gymie, our Laravel-powered gym management application. We often needed key system information to quickly triage support issues. But doing this manually or instructing users to run artisan commands wasn’t scalable. So, we built Decomposer—what started as a support shortcut turned into a standalone utility.
The Long Pause and a New Chapter
Over time, Laravel Decomposer saw adoption in the community. But like many side projects, it fell out of active maintenance as our attention was pulled elsewhere. We patched it internally to keep it running, but didn’t push those changes publicly.
Now, with a renewed focus on our Open Source Software (OSS) efforts, we’re recommitting to maintaining and improving the tools we’ve built and shared. Laravel Decomposer v1.3 is the first milestone in that direction.
What’s New in v1.3
Laravel Decomposer v1.3 is more than just a version bump. It’s a full refresh, bringing the package up to modern Laravel standards and improving both performance and user experience:
✨ UI Refresh
We’ve overhauled the UI to be cleaner and more responsive, focusing on legibility and simplicity. It’s now easier than ever to read and share your app’s report.
🎨 Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js
We’ve dropped Bootstrap in favor of Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, making the frontend lightweight and more maintainable. This aligns with modern Laravel frontends and reduces dependency bloat.
🆕 Laravel Compatibility
The package is now fully compatible with the latest Laravel versions, so you can confidently include it in your current projects without worrying about conflicts or outdated dependencies.
🧹 Code Refactor
The codebase has been thoroughly refactored to improve readability and maintainability. This lays the groundwork for future updates and contributions.
⚙️ Optimized App Size Calculation
In earlier versions, calculating large app sizes could lead to timeouts. That logic has now been optimized, making the package far more reliable for large and complex projects.
What’s Next
This release is just the beginning. We’re committed to keeping Laravel Decomposer up to date and adding features that matter most to developers. We also welcome contributions, ideas, and feedback from the community.
If Decomposer helps you streamline support or gives you peace of mind when debugging, we’d love to hear your story.
