Electrik is a robust, fully-featured open-source starter kit designed to accelerate the development of your next SaaS application. Built on Laravel and enhanced with Livewire, Tailwind CSS, and the custom Electrik Slate UI, it offers a ready-to-use foundation for SaaS platforms with a focus on ease of use and extensibility.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Since Laravel 11 has been released, I am working on making Electrik compatible with L11.x. Currently, the packages Electrik uses as dependencies; some of them have not released 11x support. Hence, the current version 3.x of Electik is unstable. Till the time this issue is not resolved, I would suggest you either wait for the full 11.x support of use L9.x
.
Electrik simplifies SaaS development with these core functionalities:
Team Management: Build applications that support multiple users and teams out of the box. Subscription Billing: Integrated Stripe support for handling recurring billing. User Management: Robust user management capabilities to handle different user roles and permissions. Profile Management: Allow users to manage their profiles effortlessly. Scalable Dashboard: A minimalistic yet expandable dashboard. Open Source: Fully open source and free for both personal and commercial use.
Getting started with Electrik is straightforward:
Electrik is meant to be used on a fresh laravel installation. It does not support integration with existing laravel applications.
To install electrik to your project, use the following steps:
- Create a fresh laravel application
composer create-project laravel/laravel <awesome-saas-project> --prefer-dist- Requiire Electrik via composer
composer require electrik/electrik- Install Electrik
php artisan electrik:install- Start Artisan
php artisan serveThat's all! Now goto https://localhost:8000/dashboard and enjoy!
It's true that there are a lot of starter kits available for SaaS applications. They all have great features. What saperates Electrik from any other start-kit out there is that its 100% open source. Electrik does not have tired pricing or pro features like almost every other start-kit out there provides and then asks for a premium for this. Electrik will always stay open source and free. Even for commerial usage.
There is no catch :)
