Laravel presets allow us to configure the initial front-end scaffolding for any new Laravel project. While the framework ships with a few options out of the box, if you wish, you can create and distribute your own presets. To begin, we'll leverage Laravel's Macroable trait to construct a new preset type.

You'll likely want to replace or remove a number of the default npm packages that are included out of the box. Luckily, Laravel offers a method to assist with this.

In this episode, we'll create a handful of stubs. In this context, a stub is simply a placeholder file that is constructed exactly as we wish for it to appear in our project.

Now that our preset is mostly complete, the next step is to distribute it as a reusable Composer package. Don't worry, it's easy.
