With Laravel command, you can perform repetitive tasks with just a few keystrokes, making your coding process more efficient and less time-consuming.
In this article, we will explore the world of Laravel command, its benefits, and how to use it. With Laravel command, you can perform tasks such as generating code, running tests, and even managing your application’s database.

Clear Cache

Remove Package
The composer remove command, it is used to remove a package from your project. When you install a package using Composer, it creates a composer.json file that lists all the dependencies of your project, including the packages you have installed. The composer.lock file is also created, which contains the exact versions of the packages installed. When you run composer remove vendor/package, Composer removes the specified package from your project and updates the composer.json and composer.lock files accordingly.
