## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
