why not leave the teams as it is and duplicate the code or create your own??? use the teams as the reference since you like it so...
modifying source code may be more hustle especially when version upgrade...

Best way to rename "Teams" for "Projects" with Jetstream
I think I'd like to leverage the Teams feature from Jetstream for a project but it wouldn't make sense to call it like that. In the context of what I'm building, calling it "Projects" would be best. So I think there's a couple ways I can do that:
- Just use a different label on the front-end but keep the feature (including classes, controllers, migrations etc.) called Teams.
- Refactor Teams so it's called "Projects" and also update the view to reflect that.
I think the best way would be to refactor, but maybe I'm missing a better way? Should I just create a new Model called Project that extends JetstreamTeam and pretty much do all of that as well and then delete the Teams stuff? I don't know what's the best way to handle this.
Any help is appreciated!

Just not a fan of having dead code lying around. Might create confusion for new developers joining the team etc.

Don't install teams and just create your project controller as you would in Laravel 7. You are not really benefiting more than a few hours work. It will take you longer to coax teams into what you want.

I haven't tried it myself, but you could just use localization to change instances of Teams to Projects on the front-end. That would take care of most of the UI work. this dropdown menu file has some strings for reference.
Then any other changes you would want to make (e.g. changing the default Team / Project name) could be done by extending and overriding the relevant classes.

I know this is an old topic, but having just dealt with this I thought I would share my experiences.
I am using "bands" in my application and are playing around decided to leave the backend alone. Everything works (especially team billing) and I've added in code comments at the model level to ensure any other devs are aware.
The only changes I've made are to the actual views, changing team(s) to band(s) and altering grammar where required.
Having tried the do it yourself and the refactoring methods, I've found this way to be the quickest and most robust way.

I looked to see if there was a built in feature and found a lot of people like you looking for a solution with answers with terrible solutions. Here is what I did that works better than all the solutions provided. The only downside/upside is the functions of JetStream will obviously still call it Teams. I removed my default built App\Models\Team and replaced it with in my case Projects and overrided the default table naming convention, for you can be Bands:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Laravel\Jetstream\Events\TeamCreated;
use Laravel\Jetstream\Events\TeamDeleted;
use Laravel\Jetstream\Events\TeamUpdated;
use Laravel\Jetstream\Team as JetstreamTeam;
class Projects extends JetstreamTeam
{
use HasFactory;
public $table="projects";
}

I've found a more balanced solution that still respects the Team naming convention for development, while providing the flexibility of customizing the noun for your users (e.g. "project" instead of "team"). I've tried my best to adhere to Laravel's best practices, but if anyone has a better idea, feel free to respond.

@marknuyens Great blog post! I had to make some changes to your code for the middleware to make it work for me with Livewire. Here is my iteration:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class RedirectTeamRoutes
{
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
if(str_contains(request()->path(), 'team') && !str_contains(request()->path(), config('jetstream-options.teams.noun', 'team')) && !str_contains(request()->path(), 'team-')) {
$path = str_replace('team', config('jetstream-options.teams.noun', 'team'), request()->path());
return redirect($path);
}
return $next($request);
}
}
