Step By Step Process to Build Your First
App in Laravel Framework
Summary: Laravel is the most famous PHP framework of all time. Whether you are a
beginner or an entrepreneur planning to build your first app in Laravel, this piece will act
as a step-by-step guide for you in your journey.
Introduction
Undeniably, Laravel frameworks provide a robust foundation for developing scalable
and efficient web applications. But it is not as easy as it seems to build an entire web
app. This article will guide you through your app development process in every step.
How to Build the Laravel Web App
1. Plan Your App
Whether it is a big project or a small one, it all begins with one single idea. The one
authentic and mind-blowing idea can fuel success. When you have that great idea, don’t
jump into coding without testing the waters.
Plan thoroughly before you start your coding to have a streamlined project experience.
Have a clear-cut idea about the goal and fundamental features of your app before you
consult top app development companies for Laravel development services.
2. Set Up the Laravel Environment
When you decide to Hire dedicated Laravel developers, the first step is to set up the
Laravel Environment. To set up the new Environment you need certain software on your
PC.
Example Operating Systems:
Windows users: Use WAMP or XAMPP to get Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
macOS users: MAMP provides an easy setup for Apache, MySQL, and PHP without
command line usage.
Linux users: Install dependencies with `apt-get` for Debian-based systems like Ubuntu,
or `yum` for Red Hat-based systems like CentOS.
It would be better if you had,
A web server: Apache or Nginx are recommended and run well on most platforms.
A database management system: MySQL or PostgreSQL.
PHP 7+: Ensure your PHP version meets the requirements specified in the Laravel
documentation.
3. Build the Database
Setting up the database is the first and foremost step in your web application
development. The first thing you need to do is create a database on your hosting
provider’s server. This will be done by the control panel offered by your web host.
The.env file that is kept in your project directory needs to be opened in the following
step. The DB_DATABASE with the name of your recently formed database is the next
step. After setting up the database, for better results, test if your database connection is
running the migrate ‘artisan ‘ command.
4. Set Up Authentication with Laravel Jetstream
Creating common scaffolding with a separate first-party package from Laravel makes
authentication setup simple. To set up authentication with Laravel Jetstream, start by
installing Laravel Jetstream in your project using Composer.
Next, configure user authentication and registration by running the Jetstream installation
command. Choose the preferred stack (Livewire or Inertia.js) and follow the prompts to
complete the setup.
Jetstream will automatically generate the necessary authentication scaffolding, including
login, registration, password reset, and email verification functionality. Customize the
authentication views and routes as needed to fit your application's requirements. This
streamlined process ensures secure and efficient user authentication for your Laravel
web app.
5. Build a List of Links
To build a list of links in a Laravel web app, follow these steps:
1. Create a Model and Migration for Links:
Use the Artisan command `php artisan make:model Link -m` to create a Link Model and
its corresponding migration file.
The model represents the data structure, while the migration file sets up the database
schema.
2. Set Up Database Relationships:
Define the relationships between your models in the model files. These steps ensure
your application can manage and display a list of links effectively, maintaining proper
data integrity and relationships.
6. Eloquent Models
Laravel uses Eloquent Models to interact with database tables. Each of the tables in the
database provides an intuitive interface for handling and asking for data. By using
Eloquent, you can quickly conduct CRUD activities by defining models for your tables.
Moreover, Eloquent lets you specify one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many
relationships across models, which makes it possible for you to effectively handle linked
data across various tables. These relationships help in organizing and retrieving
associated data, making database interactions more seamless and structured.
7. Controllers
Controllers in Laravel manage the application's logic and respond to user actions. The
controllers act as an intermediary between the models and views. To handle diverse
application tasks, you create controllers that define methods for different operations.
Creating methods inside these controllers to carry out these fundamental activities on
your data is the first step in setting up CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
operations.
A controller could, for example, provide functions to update already-existing records,
delete records, fetch and display records, and add new records to the database. This
organization helps maintain clean and manageable code, improving the overall structure
of the application.
8. Routes and Views
Routes in Laravel define the entry points of your application. This mapping URLs to
controller actions or views. In the `web.php` file, you can specify these routes, indicating
which controller method or view should be returned when a specific URL is accessed.
Views in Laravel are created using Blade templates, which are PHP-based files that
combine HTML with Laravel's templating engine features like loops, conditionals, and
includes. These templates define the structure and presentation of your application's
user interface.
9. Run the Project on the Host
Running the project on a host involves setting up a local development server, typically
using tools like Laravel's built-in server or other web server software. Deploying to a
production server entails moving the developed application from the local environment
to a server accessible to users, ensuring it runs smoothly in a live environment.
Benefits:
● Rapid Development: Laravel speeds up development with built-in features and
clear documentation.
● Secure Implements security best practices to protect against common web
vulnerabilities.
● Community Support: Active community and ecosystem contribute to ongoing
updates, packages, and learning resources.
● Scalable: MVC architecture and robust tooling support scalable application
development.
● Integration: Smooth integration with third-party services and tools enhances
functionality.
Why Should You Go for Laravel to Web Application
Development?
Laravel is the most recommended for web app development because of its detailed
feature set, developer-friendly syntax, and robust performance. It provides a structured
approach to building modern web applications. This ensures efficiency and
maintainability throughout the development lifecycle.
Laravel's ecosystem facilitates rapid prototyping, smooth scaling, and reliable security
measures. The top-notch features made it an ideal choice for both small-scale projects
and enterprise-level applications. Its active community and extensive documentation
further enhance its appeal, providing developers with the resources needed to succeed
in web application development.
Conclusion
To conclude, Laravel development is not a child’s play. Building a Laravel web app
involves a systematic approach that blends extensive knowledge with technical
expertise. It is evident that Laravel will continue to thrive with the technological
advancements to provide developers a robust platform for building state-of-the-art
solutions.
