Installation on Existing Laravel Project
Created 7 years ago by andrewHello! I've read that it's possible to install Pyro on top of an existing Laravel installation: "If needed, you can add Pyro's core and addons to any Laravel installation with composer and enjoy all of it's benefits." Is there any documentation on the best way to do this?

Cool, thanks rickkuk. I'll give some of this a whirl and let y'all know. I'm in a bit of a unique situation in that I have my schema, views, routes, etc. created/organized pretty much just the way I need for my application, but need an interface so my colleagues can enter content into the DB. So I'm wondering if Pyro can work with my existing models created outside of Pyro, adding/updating/deleting rows and many-to-many pivot tables.
Hi Andrew! Yes you definitely can.
The first thing you need is the streams-platform package: https://github.com/anomalylabs/streams-platform
And to add it's service provider: https://github.com/pyrocms/pyrocms/blob/3.0/master/config/app.php#L149
From there I think there is only a dependency on the settings-module. But I would at least start with users-module, settings-module and the helper-plugin.
There are a couple things done here that you might want too in order to preserve some of the auto-language detection and CLI application flag for running things like php artisan do:something --app=my_app if you have multiple apps running on Pyro: https://github.com/pyrocms/pyrocms/blob/3.0/master/bootstrap/app.php#L29-L42
That's about it that I can think of!
I would suggesting getting the core in and registering the service provider first - then migrating it a normal php artisan migrate.. Then start adding addons as needed / if desired.
Andrew once you get to the point where you have streams platform in your system / working and you can use your app like normal - you can start using the TableBuilder and FormBuilder classes with your existing models. You won't be able to use simple field definitions; you will need to define them with more details since you won't have any Streams with that information available. As you dig in - perhaps start a few more discussions for the tasks as they arise.
Cheers!
I would imagine that you just update your composer.json or do something like "composer require ....." for the core module and whatever addons you want. I'm unsure of the actual package names to put though.
