Is it possible to install Laravel 5 without a front end?

Question

Composer

Good day to all!
I want to write a REST API using Laravel 5. I'm interested in the question: "Is it possible to put it somehow so that it doesn't drag along everything that concerns the front end"? For example, passing a parameter when creating a project, something like:

composer create-project laravel/laravel myfolder --without-frontend

and it will deliver everything to me only without views, assets and other things.
Is there something similar? Or just demolish unnecessary folders in "resources"?
THX!

Answer 1

Now the version of Laravel 5.1 is almost an empty idea ... there is only a welcome page from the views

Answer 2

What does not fit lumen there is nothing superfluous.
