Convert from Lumen to Laravel
The Lumen to Laravel Converter automates the conversion of your Lumen application to a Laravel application. After the conversion, you will have a Laravel application with a laravel/framework dependency matching the version of the laravel/lumen-framework dependency from your Lumen application.
Once running Laravel, you may continue to upgrade your application to the latest version using the Laravel Shifts.
Using this Shift to convert your Lumen application has an estimated time savings of 2 hours.
Requirements
A Lumen application.
Automated Changes

- Converting Lumen framework code to its Laravel equivalent.
- Adopting Laravel facades.
- Detecting Lumen specific references.
Manual Changes

When Shift detects any additional conversions it adds a detailed comment on the Pull Request to help guide any manual steps.
