Lumen Compatibility? about laravel-directus-api-wrapper HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello, @doughnet -

In spirit, I agreed with you. Lumen feels lean and mean, and a perfect frontend solution for a Directus backend.

In reality, supporting Lumen for this package doesn't feel right. About a year ago Taylor Otwell (creator of Laravel and Lumen) went public with these thoughts: https://twitter.com/taylorotwell/status/1144316193706323973

Thank you for responding. Definitely agree with the performance benefits; it's so minimal. I believe in terms of disk space it is a big difference. A fresh laravel install is about 150mb+ I believe while a lumen fresh install is about 35mb.

So someone with 1gb of hosting would only be able to do a few laravel installs versus many more lumens ...

Interesting. I never thought about the framework file size... so I just did a little test.

Note: To keep it apples to apples, I did not install any JS (node_modules), just the raw frameworks.

Lumen: 31.4 MB - 6,473 Files - 1,083 Folders
Laravel: 35.2 MB - 7,258 Files - 1,194 Folders

What am I missing?

you're probably correct; i was just doing a du -sh from the directory.
