• WHAT IS LARAVEL
• INSTALL LARAVEL 5 WITH COMPOSER
• FILES STRUCTURE
• WHAT IS ARTISAN AND HOW DOES IT SAVE US TIME
• ROUTING AND ROUTE TYPES
• WHAT IS MIDDLEWARE AND HOW TO USE IT
• WHAT IS BLADE ?
• DATABASE AND ELOQUENT ORM
• CRUD WITH VALIDATION AND DATABASE
CONNECTION (PRACTICAL TASK)
• BEST PRACTICES WHEN CODING IN LARAVEL
• Laravel is MVC PHP framework created by Taylor Otwell in
2011
• Free open-source license with many contributors worldwide
• One of the best frameworks together with Symfony,
CodeIgniter, Yii
• Has powerful features, saving us time
• Uses Symfony packages
What is
• Eloquent ORM (object-relational mapping) – implements Active-
Record
• Query builder – helps you to build secured SQL queries
• Restful controllers – provides a way for separating the different HTTP
requests (GET, POST, DELETE, etc.)
• Blade template engine – combines templates with a data model to
produce views
• Migrations – version control system for database, update your database
easier
• Database seeding – provides a way to populate database tables with test
data used for testing
• Pagination – easy to use advanced pagination functionalities
• Forms security – provides CSRF token middleware, protecting all the
forms
Features of
• Laravel uses Composer to manage its dependencies
• Composer is dependency management tool for PHP, like a library full of
books
• NOT like Yum or apt
• Per project tool (vendor folder), not per system
• Install by using the command:
composer create-project [PACKAGE] [DESTINATION PATH] [--FLAGS]
composer create-project laravel/laravel Laravel test
Let’s install
app/Http folder contains the Controllers, Middlewares and Kernel file
All the models should be located in app/Models folder
All the config files are located in app/config folder
The service providers that are bootstrapping functions in our
app are located in app/Providers folder
Folder Structure
Folder Structure
• Database folder contains the migrations and
seeds
• The public folder is the actual folder you are opening on
the web server.
All JS / CSS / Images / Uploads are located there.
• The resources folder contains all the translations, views
and assets (SASS, LESS, JS)
that are compiled into public folder
• The routes folder contains all the routes for the project
• All the logs / cache files are located in storage folder
• The vendor folder contains all the composer packages
(dependencies)
Artisan is command-line interface for Laravel
Commands that are saving time
Generating files with artisan is recommended
Run php artisan list in the console
Artisan!
• The best and easy routing system I’ve seen
• Routing per middleware / prefix or namespace
• Routing per request method (GET, POST,
DELETE, etc.)
• ALWAYS name your route !
• Be careful with the routing order !
Let’s see routing examples
Routing
• The middleware is mechanism for filtering the HTTP
requests
• Laravel includes several middleware's – Authentication,
CSRF Protection
• The auth middleware checks if the user visiting the page
is authenticated through session cookie
• The CSRF token protection middleware protects your
application from cross-site request forgery attacks by
adding token key for each generated form
Let’s create middleware
Middleware
• Blade is the powerful template engine provided by
Laravel
• All the code inside blade file is compiled to static html
file
• Supports plain PHP
• Saves time
• Better components mobility, extend and include partials
Let’s take a look at few examples
Blade
ELOQUENT & DATABASE
• THE ELOQUENT ORM (OBJECT-RELATIONAL MAPPING) PROVIDES SIMPLE ACTIVE RECORD
IMPLEMENTATION FOR WORKING WITH THE DATABASE
$article = new Article();
$article->title = ‘Article title’;
$article->description = ‘Description’;
$article->save();
INSERT INTO `article` (`title`, `description`) VALUES (‘Article title’, ‘Description’);
• EACH TABLE HAS ITS OWN “MODEL”. YOU CAN USE THE MODEL TO READ, INSERT, UPDATE OR
DELETE ROW FROM THE SPECIFIC TABLE
• LET’S CHECK ONE MODEL
Practical Task
Best practices in
• NEVER write queries or model logic inside
the controller! The controller job is to
communicate with the model and pass data to
the view.
Extend and include partials. For example share
the same form fields on 2 pages – add and edit
Views mobility
Always use the CSRF token protection that Laravel provides in forms you create, the hackers will not
be able to spam your forms and database
Forms security
Be careful with the database architecture, always use the proper length for specific column and never
forget the indexes for searchable columns
Database architecture
• Avoid the big query unless you really have
to do it. The big query is hard to debug
and understand.
• You can merge the small queries into one
to save the CPU time on server, but
sometimes the query becomes way too
big.
Big Query
Don’t forget to write comments for each
method or complicated logic.
The PHPDoc comments are helping the
IDE to autosuggest easier and the
developers to understand the piece of code
Don’t forget the PHPDoc
Thank you!
