Introduce the starter kit project and prepare the Laravel Livewire 4 environment for testing with KiloCode.

Tony Xhepa tests Kim K 2.6 with Laravel 13 and Livewire 4, showing a fast, cheap contact form generator powered by Kilo code.

Summary

Tony Xhepa walks through building a Laravel 13 project using Livewire 4 starter kit and tests the Kim K 2.6 model with Kilo code. He creates a complete contact form feature, including migrations, a ContactMessage model, UI components, and a full-page form component with dark mode support. The prompt, crafted in collaboration with ChatGPT, specifies a modern SAS-style UI, form validation, a spinner on submit, and backend storage for name, email, subject, and message. Tony shows how fast Kilo code runs and notes the final cost at around 42 cents, with an estimated 8-9 minutes to complete. He demonstrates the UI in dark mode, performs a submission, and confirms the success notification. The video highlights reuse of UI components like form inputs, textarea, and toast notifications across features. Finally, Tony reflects on the experience, praising Kim K 2.6 for speed and practicality for rapid Laravel feature development.

Key Takeaways

Kim K 2.6 via Kilo code completed a production-ready Laravel 13 Livewire 4 feature in ~8-9 minutes.
Prompt-driven development produced a full contact form with migration, model, blade views, and reusable UI components (form input, textarea, toast).
Back-end storage was implemented for name, email, subject, and message using a dedicated contact_message model and corresponding migration.

Hello friends, Tony here. Welcome. In this video, I want I have prepared a project which is a Laravel 13 with live wire for starter kit and I want to test the new model which is the Kim K 2.6 and I'm going to test that with the help of Kilo code. I have installed the Kilo code here and here is the project. Now the project is empty. I just created the project, nothing else. So here's the welcome and the dashboard. And also I have prepared a prompt to create a contact form. So I'm going to copy this. The prompt is created with chat GPT. So here's the prompt. Build a contact form feature using liveware 4. Prefer a full page component with vault or class based if needed with clean modern SAS style UI. Create a professional minimal contact form similar to modern SAS dashboards like stripe linear and versel text. Laravel 13 liveware 4 use lat syntax and best practices. Ton CSS onJS architecture use liveware full page component keep logic clean and separated. Follow laravel conventions. Form objects validation actions. UIUIUX requirements. Form fields. Name. Emails. Subject and message. Theme support. Full light dark mode. Interactions. Showing state on submit. So disabled submit button. Add spinner inside button. Validation and success notification. And also back end. Store submissions in database. name, email, subject, message, create migration and the model for example contact message and output. So I'm going to copy this and come here. I'm going to open the kilo code and I have selected Kim K 2.6 and just I'm going to paste here. Also I'm going to show you I don't have any uh skills. So if I ask which skills do you have kilio config and then the project domain skills which is the fortify development laravel best practices flux UI development uh best testing and tit CSS development. Okay so no uh front end design or brainstorming skill. Okay so let's paste that prompt and I'm going to hit enter. We are on the code. I have selected code. Here we have ask, debug, orchestrator and plan. But and also thinking here we have instant and thinking. And now I'm going to hit enter. Also you can see here the web PHP which is empty. The kilo code is very fast. I have tried a little bit today and yeah is very fast and also is very good with coding. But for this task we are going to see. Okay, so we are back. Uh let's see what we have here. So the contact form feature is fully implemented and tested and here is the summary file created the migrations. Okay, the model then views components contact form. Okay, also created a contact blade inside the layout. Sorry. also components UI form input form text area and also toss blade. So created some components to use them then register the route and here's the route also the test and that's it. So let's see let's come here. So we need navigate / contact. Let's come here and change go to contact. Here is the contact. Let me just uh come here open the terminal and we need to run the composer rundev. Okay. And come here and refresh. Now we are on the dark mode. Very good. We have name, email, subject and messages. and message. If I say send, yeah, we have here the prefill. Let's click here and I'm going to say send. Now, your message has been sent successfully. Very good. Let's see. I'm going to close this and let's open the code. Let's open the contact form first. We have name, email, subject, and message properties. Then we have a submit method. validate and then contact message create and then reset name email subject message and dispass notify type success message your okay then have a question we'd love to hear from you okay and have used the X UI so we have to see also them and that's it so let's go let's go to components UI and we have the toss blade is a to notification that we saw here. Then we have the form input and also the text area. Then let's go to app models and we have a contact message provable name, email, subject and message. Okay, go to database migration name, email, subject and message. Okay, so that's it. what we asked for a contact form and the name, email and subject and also the message to be stored in the database. We are okay with that. Also, we are okay with the design at least in my opinion. Now, let's see how much this uh feature has cost. 42 cents. And if I scroll down, yeah, I I don't see the time. I don't see the time, but uh I think about eight or 9 minutes to create something like this. And I like this because uh yeah has created uh the UI, the form input, form text area and also the toast blade and reuse them on contact form. But we can reuse in other components. Now that's it all about this video. Just I wanted to test this Kimi K2.6 which is a new model is fast and is very good.
