Thought I'd make a thread with a brief overview of all my Laravel-specific (and some not so specific) packages.

I'll try to check in on the thread when I remember, but if you have a question that needs a quick answer, github issues are your best bet.

Laravel 4 Smart Errors - https://github.com/anlutro/laravel-4-smart-errors

Send yourself emails with exception information and alert-level logs, more detailed default logging, a default CSRF and 404 handler and more. Useful for small apps or if you in general don't want to invest in something more sophisticated like bugsnag.

Laravel Repository - https://github.com/anlutro/laravel-repository

Eloquent and query builder implementations of the repository pattern. Definitely not as "clean" as a pure implementation such as doctrine, but adds functionality and might help you keep your code more DRY.

Laravel Validation - https://github.com/anlutro/laravel-validation

Abstract class that wraps laravel's validator and allows you to dynamically add/remove rules, replace variables in rules, replace placeholders in rules with contents of other inputs, throw detailed exceptions and more.

Laravel Settings - https://github.com/anlutro/laravel-settings

Persistant settings, shared across your application for all users, stored either in the database or in a JSON file.

Laravel Testing - https://github.com/anlutro/laravel-testing

Abstract TestCases you can extend from. Includes a test case which is basically the default Laravel one but with extra functionality, as well as a TestCase for testing full-stack apps inside a package, and a database testcase that allows you to run tests against a test database, using Eloquent and the query builder, without needing to boot the entire framework.

Menu - https://github.com/anlutro/php-menu

Dynamic menu builder with support for multiple menus, submenus, classes, glyphicons and font awesome icons.

Form - https://github.com/anlutro/php-form

Designed as a sort of hybrid between Laravel's and Symfony's form builder. Functionality for validation, input transformation, casting checkboxes to booleans and much more.
