What to Encode in Laravel

In a standard Laravel project, encoding every single file is unnecessary and can complicate environment configuration. The industry best practice is to selectively encode proprietary business logic while leaving framework scaffolding readable:

✓ Encode These Folders (Proprietary IP)

  • app/Http/Controllers/ — Request handling and business logic
  • app/Models/ — Domain models, relationships, and scopes
  • app/Services/ — Core proprietary algorithms & calculations
  • app/Actions/ — Domain actions and business workflow routines
  • app/Http/Middleware/ — Custom authentication & entitlement logic

📄 Keep Readable (Configuration & Bootstrap)

  • config/ — Allows clients to configure database & services
  • routes/ — Keeping web/api routes readable simplifies debugging
  • database/migrations/ — Allows database schema migrations to execute
  • resources/views/ — Blade templates and UI assets
  • vendor/ — Public third-party Composer packages

Step-by-Step Laravel Encoding Workflow

1. Encode your `app/` directory locally:
php encrypt.php app/ protected_app/
2. Swap protected files into your deployment artifact:
rm -rf app && mv protected_app app
3. Deploy to Linux server with PHPcube Loader:

Ensure phpcube.so is enabled in php.ini on your target web and worker servers:

extension=phpcube.so
