How to (Still) Use Laravel Breeze in Laravel 12

With Laravel 12, creating new project doesn't show the option to install Breeze starter kit. However, Breeze is compatible with Laravel 12. Here's how to install it.

First, with the new Laravel installer, you will see the options only for new starter kits.

Also, laravel new project --breeze flag will not work in the new Installer.

In the screenshot above, you need to choose None and create a new Laravel project without any kit.

Next, you can install the Breeze package via Composer.

composer require laravel/breeze --dev

Next, you run php artisan breeze:install and you will see your familiar stack options to choose from.

After visiting the home page, you can see login and registration links.

After registering, you will see a familiar dashboard.

That's it, Breeze is installed, and you can continue like in the older Laravel 11 version.

If you want the official documentation, here's Breeze installation on the Laravel 11.x docs page.

Alternatives to Laravel Breeze

You can also try our Blade-only laraveldaily/starter-kit which uses no Vue/React/Livewire. Just Blade with some Alpine, like Laravel Breeze. Here's a video demo on my YouTube channel.

Or, if you want to try the new official starter kits and dive deeper into them, we have three courses:

• React Laravel 12 Starter Kit: CRUD Project
• Vue Laravel 12 Starter Kit: CRUD Project
• Livewire 3 for Beginners with Laravel 12 Starter Kit
