Let’s get started.

Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

composer create-project laravel/laravel myblog

It will create a project folder with name myblog inside your local system.

To start the development server of laravel –

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

CREATE DATABASE laravel_app;

To connect database with application, Open .env file from application root. Search for DB_ and update your details.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_app
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

Once you install laravel setup, you should see these files –

  • User.php a model file inside /app/Models folder.

You can use concept of factory to seed dummy data to this application.

But first you need to migrate your application’s migration to create users table into your database.

Go to tinker shell,

$ php artisan tinker

It will open tinker shell to execute commands. Copy and paste this command and execute to create test data.

    {
        $users = User::paginate(10);

        return view('users', compact('users'));
    }

    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        User::find($id)->update([
            'name' => $request->name,
            'email' => $request->email
        ]);
        return response()->json(['success' => 'User Updated Successfully!']);
    }
