A Laravel package that exposes Artisan Tinker's REPL through a browser-based route, letting developers run PHP code against their application interactively. It is intended for local development only, since it can execute arbitrary code.

Use cases

• run tinker in the browser instead of the terminal
• interactively test Eloquent queries in a Laravel app
• debug Laravel application code without copy-pasting into artisan tinker
• quickly experiment with Laravel code snippets during development
• inspect application state from a browser REPL

When to choose

• you develop Laravel apps and want a friendlier tinker experience than the terminal
• you frequently iterate on code snippets and want output history and editing in a browser
• you want a local-only REPL wired into your Laravel project with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you need a REPL in production or any environment with real data - it can run arbitrary code
• your project is not a Laravel application
• you only need occasional one-off PHP execution where artisan tinker suffices
