Orchid

What Orchid is

Laravel Orchid is a free, open-source Laravel package for building self-hosted administration panels and line-of-business applications. It uses a code-driven approach centered on Screens, with modern applications built largely in PHP. The interface toolkit includes a form builder, more than 40 field types, dialogs, data grids, visualizations, charts, modals, menus, notifications, and permissions. Roles and permissions can work with Laravel Gates or Policies for finer access control. Files can attach to application records, and duplicate detection uses hashing unless duplicates are allowed. Orchid installs through Composer and can use Laravel Scout for full-text search when a search driver is configured. Teams can add it to an existing Blade-based admin panel by connecting controllers instead of rewriting the whole application. It supports data connections involving MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite, APIs, and external services. The MIT License permits commercial use with required notices. Orchid is aimed at Laravel developers building intranet tools, not turnkey websites or marketing pages.
