description	Search and browse the official Laravel documentation (all versions) using the ladoc CLI. Use when working on Laravel code or answering questions about Laravel features, directives, APIs, or configuration to get accurate, version-specific documentation.

Laravel Documentation (ladoc)

Use the ladoc CLI to look up official Laravel documentation instead of relying on memory.

Commands

Task	Command	Example
List all sections	ladoc	ladoc
Topic index of a section	ladoc <section>	ladoc blade
Search inside a section	ladoc <section> <query>	ladoc blade @once
Use a specific Laravel version	add -b <version>	ladoc -b 10.x eloquent-relationships hasMany

Workflow

1. If you don't know the section name, run ladoc and read the names in parentheses, e.g. Blade Templates (blade).
2. Search with ladoc <section> <query>. The output is the full text of every matching article.
3. If there are no results, ladoc lists the sections that do contain the term and prints a ready-to-run Try: ladoc ... command — follow it.
4. If the section name is misspelled, ladoc answers Did you mean: ...? with the closest match.

Notes

• Match the version to the project: check composer.json for the laravel/framework constraint and pass it with -b (e.g. -b 11.x). Without -b, the latest version is used.
• The first run for a version downloads and indexes the docs; it may take a few seconds.
• Output is plain text when piped — no ANSI codes to clean up.
