Explaining Laravel Package Ecosystem
Too Long; Didn't Read
There were 47337 Laravel packages identified from 23167 different developers. The distribution is quite even with lots and lots of small players in the Laravel scene. There are only 317 developers that get 317 or more daily downloads and the same number is 3003 monthly downloads. The most popular packages are most prevalent on this list followed by integration. The number of packages that are made by the top 3927 developers is far more than would be if Price's law was obeyed here. For example, out of 5.65 million daily package downloads, 2.85 million are split among laravel, illuminate, nesbot, spatie, fideloper and barryvdh.
