How to Create a Reusable Laravel Admin Panel for Multiple Projects

Creating a reusable Laravel admin panel simplifies its implementation across projects. Packaging it as a Laravel package offers central updates and easy sharing. To create a package, move the admin panel code to a separate directory, set up the package structure, define composer.json, register the package in Laravel, and host it for access in other projects. Updates are made by updating the package repository and running composer update. Git submodules or subtree can be used to include the admin panel directly in projects, allowing for updates through git submodule update or git subtree push. A shared microservice approach treats the admin panel as a standalone service, deployed as its own Laravel application. Other projects can connect to the microservice via APIs, ensuring updates are available to all connected projects. Benefits include centralized updates, modular design, and scalability. By packaging the admin panel as a package, using Git submodules/subtree, or deploying it as a shared microservice, you can streamline admin panel management and ensure consistency across projects.
