composer global require laravel\/installer\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will install the Laravel installer globally on your system, allowing you to create new Laravel projects with ease.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Creating a New Laravel Project<\/h2>\n
To create a new Laravel project, run the following command:<\/p>\n
laravel new project-name\n<\/code><\/pre>\nReplace “project-name” with the name of your project. This will create a new Laravel project in a directory with the same name as your project.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Configuring the Database<\/h2>\n
Next, we need to configure the database for our Laravel project. Open the .env<\/code> file in the root directory of your project and modify the following settings to match your MySQL configuration:<\/p>\nDB_CONNECTION=mysql\nDB_HOST=127.0.0.1\nDB_PORT=3306\nDB_DATABASE=your_database_name\nDB_USERNAME=your_database_user\nDB_PASSWORD=your_database_password\n<\/code><\/pre>\nSave the .env<\/code> file when you’re done.<\/p>\nStep 4: Creating a Route<\/h2>\n
Every web application needs some routes to define entry points into the application. Laravel provides a simple and powerful router that makes it easy to define routes for your application.<\/p>\n
Open the routes\/web.php<\/code> file in your project and add the following line:<\/p>\nRoute::get('\/', function () {\n return view('welcome');\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis defines a route for the root of the application, which returns a view called “welcome”. We haven’t created this view yet, but we’ll do that in the next step.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Creating a View<\/h2>\n
Views are templates that define the HTML structure of your web pages. In Laravel, views are stored in the resources\/views<\/code> directory.<\/p>\nCreate a new file called welcome.blade.php<\/code> in the resources\/views<\/code> directory with the following contents:<\/p>\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n <head>\n <title>Welcome to my web app<\/title>\n <\/head>\n <body>\n <h1>Hello, World!<\/h1>\n <\/body>\n<\/html>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis defines a simple HTML structure with a h1<\/code> element containing the text “Hello, World!”.<\/p>\nStep 6: Running the Application<\/h2>\n
Now that we have a basic route and view, let’s fire up the Laravel development server and see our web application in action!<\/p>\n
In your terminal, navigate to the root directory of your Laravel project and run the following command:<\/p>\n
php artisan serve\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will start the development server and provide you with an address where you can view your web application. By default, this will be `http:\/\/localhost:8000\/`.<\/p>\n
Open up your web browser and navigate to the provided address. You should see your “Hello, World!” message displayed in your browser.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Working with Migrations<\/h2>\n
Migrations are a powerful feature in Laravel that allow you to version control your database schema. Migrations make it easy to modify your database schema over time in a way that is controlled and repeatable.<\/p>\n
To create a new migration, run the following command:<\/p>\n
php artisan make:migration create_users_table\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create a new migration file in the database\/migrations<\/code> directory with the name create_users_table.php<\/code>.<\/p>\nOpen up this file and modify the up<\/code> method to define the schema for a users table:<\/p>\npublic function up()\n{\n Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {\n $table->id();\n $table->string('name');\n $table->string('email')->unique();\n $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();\n $table->string('password');\n $table->rememberToken();\n $table->timestamps();\n });\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis defines a table with columns for id<\/code>, name<\/code>, email<\/code>, email_verified_at<\/code>, password<\/code>, remember_token<\/code>, and the default Laravel created_at<\/code> and updated_at<\/code> timestamps.<\/p>\nTo run the migration, run the following command:<\/p>\n
php artisan migrate\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create the users<\/code> table in your database.<\/p>\nStep 8: Working with Models and Controllers<\/h2>\n
Models are the data access layer of your Laravel application, while Controllers handle the logic for your application’s routes.<\/p>\n
First, let’s create a new model for our users<\/code> table. Run the following command:<\/p>\nphp artisan make:model User\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create a new model file in the app<\/code> directory with the name User.php<\/code>.<\/p>\nOpen up this file and modify the fillable<\/code> property to include all of the columns in the users<\/code> table:<\/p>\nprotected $fillable = [\n 'name', 'email', 'password',\n];\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, let’s create a new controller that will handle requests for our users. Run the following command:<\/p>\n
php artisan make:controller UserController --resource\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create a new controller file in the app\/Http\/Controllers<\/code> directory with the name UserController.php<\/code>. The “–resource” flag tells Laravel to create a controller that implements the seven typical RESTful controller actions.<\/p>\nOpen up this file and modify the store<\/code> method to create a new user:<\/p>\npublic function store(Request $request)\n{\n $input = $request->all();\n $user = User::create($input);\n return response()->json($user, 201);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis method receives a Request<\/code> object that contains the data for the new user, creates a new User<\/code> object using the $input<\/code> data, and returns a JSON response containing the new user object.<\/p>\nStep 9: Working with Routes and Controllers<\/h2>\n
Now that we have a controller, let’s define some routes that will map to the controller’s actions.<\/p>\n
Open the routes\/web.php<\/code> file and modify it to include the following routes:<\/p>\nRoute::get('\/users', 'UserController@index');\nRoute::post('\/users', 'UserController@store');\nRoute::get('\/users\/{user}', 'UserController@show');\nRoute::put('\/users\/{user}', 'UserController@update');\nRoute::delete('\/users\/{user}', 'UserController@destroy');\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThese routes define our mapping from URLs to our RESTful controller actions.<\/p>\n
Step 10: Authenticating Users<\/h2>\n
Laravel provides built-in support for user authentication, making it easy to secure your web application.<\/p>\n
To get started, we need to create a new authentication scaffolding using the following command:<\/p>\n
php artisan make:auth\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create all of the necessary files and routes to handle user authentication in Laravel.<\/p>\n
Next, we need to migrate the database to create the necessary authentication tables:<\/p>\n
php artisan migrate\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis will create the users<\/code> and password_resets<\/code> tables in your database.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
In this tutorial, we’ve covered the basics of building a web application using Laravel. We’ve covered installation, configuration, routing, views, database migrations, and authentication.<\/p>\n
