# nunomaduro/essentials: Just better defaults for your Laravel projects.

**[Community Picks](https://daily.dev/sources/community)** · 5 min read · 24 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Laravel Essentials is a package that provides better defaults for Laravel applications, including strict models that prevent lazy loading and undefined attribute access, automatic eager loading of relationships, immutable dates using CarbonImmutable, HTTPS enforcement, and safety features for production environments. The package also includes Artisan commands for generating action classes and configuring code quality tools like Pint and Rector with opinionated settings for strict types, final classes, and code organization.
