## What it is
LaRecipe is a Laravel package for writing beautiful, code-driven product documentation in Markdown directly inside a Laravel application. It renders docs at a /docs endpoint with a Vue/TailwindCSS UI, including search, versioning, authentication, and analytics.

## Use cases
- write product documentation inside my laravel app
- create api docs from markdown in laravel
- host versioned documentation alongside my codebase
- add searchable docs endpoint to a laravel project
- generate beautiful documentation pages without a separate docs site
- control access to internal documentation with laravel auth

## When to choose
- you have a Laravel app and want docs kept in the same codebase and deploy
- you want Markdown-based docs with search, versioning, and auth out of the box
- you prefer code-driven configuration over a database-backed docs CMS

## When to avoid
- your project is not built on Laravel or PHP
- you need a standalone static site documentation generator
- you require heavy customization beyond what the package's plugin system supports

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown, search-engine, auth, authorization, caching
- domain: documentation, web-development, developer-tools, apis
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: laravel-package, markdown-docs, code-driven-docs, api-docs, versioned-docs, web-server
