[Imports for Laravel](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/imports-for-laravel.md)

# Requirements

- PHP 8.4 or newer — CI tests 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 — with the zip, xmlreader, xmlwriter and mbstring extensions (crypto-for-laravel adds hash and openssl)
- Laravel 13
- MySQL or PostgreSQL in production; SQLite works for tests
- A queue worker for previews above imports.preview.sync\_threshold and for commits (or imports.queue.enabled off), and Laravel’s job\_batches table
- A scheduler running imports:sweep every five minutes and imports:prune daily
- The Roundly packages it builds on, installed by Composer with auto-discovered providers: options-for-laravel (^2.0, saved mappings — publish its migrations too), crypto-for-laravel (^2.1), enums-for-laravel (^2.0) and package-toolkit-for-laravel (^2.0)
- No third-party spreadsheet library — the CSV and XLSX readers and the XLSX writer are part of the package
- Optional, not dependencies: teams-for-laravel (keep every import inside the current team) and sentinel-for-laravel (seal imported records or audit imports) — both wired in through the recipes in these docs
