Starter Kit with laravel.build

Hello,

I was trying to install a Laravel project through laravel.build because I don't want to bloat my system with Composer, Node, and other dependencies, sail its the right tool for that

The laravel.build script is a really good tool, but I encountered an unusual situation. I wanted to build the Laravel project with the React starter kit, so I went to the original project to learn more: https://github.com/laravel/sail-server.

However, there is no way to input an argument like --react or --vue or any other starter kit. I tried to run the script myself instead of using curl. While the command laravel new {any_name} --react works with the latest Laravel installer, running the script directly gave me an error that --react is not a valid option.

So, I dug even deeper. I believe the Docker image laravelsail/php84-composer is not updated. Turns out, my theory was correct, it's not been updated in 8 months (at the date of this post).
