Analyze Laravel Projects with Introspect
July 1, 2025Analyze Laravel Codebases with Laravel Introspect
If you’re doing a complex refactor or building dev tools, Laravel Introspect helps you query your app code—views, models, routes, classes—using a type-safe fluent API.
Main Features
- Fluent queries for views, routes, classes, and models.
- Wildcard support (e.g.
components.*.button). - Parse Eloquent model properties, relationships, casts.
- Serialize/deserialize queries as JSON (great for LLM tools).
Usage Examples
use Mateffy\Introspect\Facades\Introspect;
// Find views used by certain pages
$views = Introspect::views()
->whereNameEquals('components.*.button')
->whereUsedBy('pages.admin.*')
->get();
// Query routes using auth middleware and POST method
$routes = Introspect::routes()
->whereUsesMiddleware('auth')
->whereUsesMethod('POST')
->get();
// Extract model schema or JSON Schema
$detail = Introspect::model(User::class);
$schema = $detail->schema();
