Tinkerwell bootstraps your application with something that we call driver and adds common use cases to a right-click context menu item.

Writing a Tinkerwell driver is not that hard, and the easiest way to get started is by creating a project-specific driver in your application. To do this, you have to create a.tinkerwell directory in the root directory of your application and create a new driver in there.

A custom driver that extends the Laravel driver but adds project-specific context menu items can be created with this simple snippet: Defining more other items like labels, submenus, or open links in the browser work in a similar fashion: When a Tinkerwell driver gets loaded, you can tell Tinkerwell to automatically set variables with specific content, so that these variables are immediately available within the Tinkerwell application.

In this case, it makes sense to write a custom driver for these frameworks that bootstrap the application for you and provide everything you need to tinker with your code.
