What is Prequel exactly?
Prequel is meant to be a database management tool for Laravel to replace the need for separate standalone database tools like phpMyAdmin, Sequel Pro or MySQL Workbench. With its (hopefully) clear and concise UI, Prequel is to be a modern and lightweight database browser/tool ready for the web of the future. Prequel's design is purposefully based on that of Laravel Telescope because (web-)developers today have enough to learn and master already, so let's help eachother out and make sure to not add anything virtually useless to that huge pile of knowledge.

Installation
To install follow the instructions below.
$ composer require protoqol/prequel
$ php artisan prequel:installWhen installation and publishing is done navigate to /prequel in your browser to see Prequel in action!
Updating
$ php artisan prequel:updateIssues, bugs and feature requests can be reported here!
Configuration
You might have noticed that, while publishing a config file appeared under config/prequel.php.
That configuration file looks something like this.
Note that you can define
PREQUEL_ENABLEDin your .env file.
<?php
