Sharp is a content management framework built for Laravel as a package, which provides great help to build a CMS section in a project with a clean UI and DX in mind. Sharp is driven by code: everything is manageable through a clean and documented PHP API, using Laravel conventions and coding style. It intends to avoid code adherence — the project should not have any knowledge of it — and is data-agnostic, meaning it does not have any expectations from the persistence layer.

Sharp for Laravel is actively maintained and developed and is used in all kinds of projects, from content-driven websites to e-commerce platforms and API backends.

Sharp intends to provide a clean solution to the following needs:

• create, update or delete any structured data of the project, handling validation and errors;
• display, search, sort or filter data;
• execute custom commands on one instance, a selection or all instances;
• handle authorizations and validation;
• all without writing a line of front code, and using a clean API in the PHP app.

Sharp needs Laravel 11+ and PHP 8.3+.
