How to run the project

You will need php 7.1.x and composer 1.9.x (and a database, I'm using mysql/phpmyadmin/apache) to run the project. Dont forget to use the commands composer install and npm i --save.

git clone https://github.com/edn9/favbooks

After you clone, create a .env file based of .env.example, configure your database, generate key with:

php artisan key:generate

Then run the project with:

php artisan serve

PHP Artisan Cheatsheet

Here's a list of useful commands to use. This is just a simple sketch of what to do if its your first time trying laravel, or if you forgot something.

First steps

After all the setup, to create a new laravel project you can use these two commands:

laravel new blog
OR
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.8.*"

And then you need to generate a key, before that you will not be able to run the server, so first you gotta create a .env file (you can just copy and paste the .env.example one and configure by yourself) and then:

php artisan key:generate

You can specify what version you want to use at the end. To run the server:

php artisan serve

Database

First, when you create a new project, you need to migrate to your database:

php artisan migrate:refresh --seed

If you working with seed, dont forget to check the database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php file, you need to tell what you gonna run to 'feed' the DB.

php artisan make:seeder UsersTableSeeder

Generating Migrations table:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table

Models

You need to create a model when you create a table:

php artisan make:model Books

Controllers

php artisan make:controller ContactController --resource

Laravel resource routing assigns the typical "CRUD" routes to a controller with a single line of code.
