Laravel 6 Beginner

Installation

Here's where it all begins, let's talk about the steps necessary to install the Laravel Installer in your local machine. The installer is the easiest way to create fresh Laravel projects.

Routes

Routes are the way that we let Laravel know how to respond to a requested URI in the browser. Let's take a look with the route that ships with Laravel and create our own new route.

Views

Views are the way that we add HTML and front end code to our application. We will create a blank file and correctly display it on the browser using the view() helper function.

Pass Data to View

In most cases, views are going to need some data. By the end of this episode you will know how to pass data to your views in 2 different methods and how to echo them out in a view using Blade.

Controllers

Laravel is an MVC framework. Now that we have learned about Views, it's time for us to tackle the "C" in MVC and that is Controllers. A controller is the conductor of your application.

Blade Templates

Blade is the simple, yet powerful templating engine provided with Laravel. In this episode, we will create a real-world html page example with navigation and even pass some data from our controller.

MySQL Database & SQLite

Let's get the basics of working with a database in Laravel by setting up a MySQL database from scratch. Let's also create a migration and a model for our services. To wrap it up, let's change to a SQLite database to show how simple it is.

Form Validation

Form validation is one of the coolest features of Laravel and one that is very useful. Let's explore how to refactor our previous Services code to be able to add new services using a form. Then, let's talk about Mass Assignment and how to fix it.

MySQL Where Clause with Eloquent

When fetching records from the database, most of the time you need to grab a subset of records and not your entire database. This is done using a where clause. Let's add that to our app in this lesson.

Request Cycle

The request cycle is an important concept to any modern web application. In this episode, we are diving into what it means to use a helper function, the service container and the request cycle.

Sending Emails

Laravel has incredible features for sending emails. Let's create a new mailable with markdown and send it using Mailtrap, an email testing service. Then add that ability to our controller whenever new users get added.

Authentication - Register, Login & Password Reset

If you have tried to follow any older Laravel tutorial about authentication you may have noticed that the command is gone. It has been refactored to an independent package. Let's install that now.

Front End Presets (Bootstrap)

Front end presets are an easy way to swap out your Laravel's frontend in one single command. Let's use it to add Twitter Bootstrap to our project.

Final Project Part 1 (Questionnaire/Survey App)

For a final project on this course, let's build an App for creating questionnaires (surveys). In part 1, we are setting up the table that will hold the questionnaires and coding the relationships of hasMany and belongsTo for the user. We will also touch on how to save through the relationship.

Final Project Part 2 (Questionnaire/Survey App)

For a final project on this course, let's build an App for creating questionnaires (surveys). In part 2, we are answering one of the most frequent questions that I get, how to save from 1 form to multiple tables at once.

Final Project Part 3 (Questionnaire/Survey App)

For a final project on this course, let's build an App for creating questionnaires (surveys). In part 3, we will create a view to give us the ability to view the questionnaires. Then, let's create the flow necessary to have someone actually answer our questionnaire. We will call this concept a survey and survey response.

Final Project Part 4 (Questionnaire/Survey App)

For a final project on this course, let's build an App for creating questionnaires (surveys). In part 4, we take care of 3 loose ends. Let's start with the home view and display all questionnaires. Then, let's use relationships to delete questions and answers. Lastly, let's show, in percentage, how many people have selected each answer.
