Laravel Framework

Under the slogan "The PHP Framework for Web Artisans," Laravel provides elegant syntax and a wealth of powerful features.

1. Why Laravel is Loved​

  • Eloquent ORM: Allows you to interact with database records as if they were simple PHP objects.
  • Blade Templating Engine: Helps you write clean and expressive HTML templates by masking raw PHP code.
  • Built-in Features: Comes pre-packaged with robust solutions for authentication, sessions, caching, and routing.

2. Routing​

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/welcome', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

3. Controllers and Views​

Laravel strictly adheres to the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern.

  • Model: Defines the data structure.
  • View: The screen presented to the user (using Blade templates).
  • Controller: Manages business logic and user requests.

4. Artisan Command-Line Tool​

Laravel includes Artisan, a powerful terminal-based tool for common development tasks.

php artisan serve      # Starts the development server
php artisan make:model # Creates a new model
php artisan migrate    # Updates the database schema

If you are looking to build a robust web application using PHP, Laravel is an excellent choice.
