Primera is a starter theme designed for developers who want to build structured, maintainable websites using an MVC pattern and the Blade templating engine from Laravel. It is for those familiar with modern PHP frameworks seeking a more organized workflow than traditional theme development offers.

• Blade Templating Engine: Write clean, logical templates using Laravel's Blade syntax, which supports template inheritance, components, and control structures directly in your markup.
• MVC Architecture with Controllers: Separate your presentation logic from business logic. Controllers automatically pass data to specific views, organizing your theme's codebase and making it easier to manage.
• Modern Asset Pipeline: Compile and manage assets using Laravel Mix, a wrapper for Webpack. This setup supports modern JavaScript (via Babel), CSS preprocessors like Sass, and live browser reloading with Browsersync.
• Integrated Build System: Use included NPM scripts for development, production builds, creating translation files (.pot), and packaging your theme into a distributable zip file.
• Unified Configuration: Manage project-specific settings for both PHP and Node.js from a single .env file, simplifying configuration across different parts of the development stack.
