Recently quite a lot of web-projects started with tutorials and courses on Laravel. On of them is Laravelista, created by Mario Bašić. We decided to talk to the author and ask more details about the project and how's it going.
Quick tip for you guys. What if in your project users can login not only with email but also with some other field, like "username" or "user_id" or whatever? By default Laravel allows only one field like 'email'. That's actually easy to change.
Recently I've found a few interesting tools that help generate Laravel migrations automatically from your already existing database schema. In theory it looks very cool, but we decided to test them - I asked a colleague to actually try them all out with real demo-projects. How do they generate filenames and field types? Additional rules? Foreign keys? Do they actually work? Let's take a look.
As I mentioned in another chapter of the book, deployment of the code is a pretty complicated process - actually, not only in Laravel, in any modern robust projects. So, to make it easier - Laravel creator Taylor Otwell has built some additional tools to make it easier.
We have another interesting interview in our blog - this time I've invited Dennis Smink who recently launched a new Laravel-related project called Larabug, so we're talking about what is behind the scenes of this new idea.
Deployment is a process of “installing” the project to the server, to make it work “in public”. Imagine software installation process of “Download -> Install -> Some configuration -> Finish -> Use”. Similar here, just not visual - it all happens with “command magic” usually.
Those who follow this blog or Twitter account know that last week I did some Laravel-based products reviews. Totally 6 of them, all in one week. I've published them one by one, and now it's time to recap and talk about main conclusions, takeaways and lessons. What have I learned from those Laravel products?
Another review in our series of Laravel projects. Confomo was created by an active Laravel community member and blogger Matt Stauffer, quoting him: "Built in 4 hours to help me track who I wanted to meet at Laracon 2014, and who I met there who I didn't know yet."
Another review in our series for Laravel-based products on the market. Today we have Faveo-helpdesk - Open source ticketing system built on Laravel 5.2. It's quite a huge project - to be honest, I didn't manage to make it work properly in the end, but will still give you a quick overview.
We continue our series of reviews of various interesting Laravel projects, and today we have a tool with a weird name Ribbbon (no idea why it's called like that) - it's a simple project management tool with a little different UI than usual Bootstrap-based admin layouts. Let's take a look.
