@andylee Nova and Spark are just Laravel packages. You can install Nova into a Laravel application that also uses Spark.

can you get it cheaper as a package is anyone aware?

@andylee Spark and Nova are both sold by one vendor (from Taylor). Their prices are their prices.

can i start developing my application with laravel and Nova and add spark at the end then or best starting with spark?

@ANDYLEE - I suspect i'm too late for this advice and that you've already discovered it for yourself but for the benefit of others...

Spark "prefers" to be installed on a fresh laravel set up. ie. no Nova. ...then install Nova over that.

@PSOUPER - Yea i'm at that point now just having a play with Spark then will grab a copy of Nova.

Cheers for the confirmation.

I think it's more than a preference, Spark is a starter pack, it's definitely not for installing on an already existing project. I am pretty sure that would result in a complete mess.

Kel_ is right. i am sure there is a bit of fettling that can be done to add spark to an existing app but I wouldn't want to try.

Thinking a bit more about this, if you really want to do it, adding your current application to Spark would be the way to go ;)

By that I mean refactor your code, copying each bit of functionality across and essentially redoing it.
