Request

Views

Routing

<?php

Route::get('/', function()
{
    return 'Hello World';
});


Route::get('user/{id}', function($id)
{
    return 'User ' . $id;
});


Route::get('user/{id}/{name}', function($id, $name)
{
    return "User $id, for $name";
})
->where(['id' => '[0-9]+', 'name' => '[a-z]+']);

Eloquent ORM

ActiveRecord implementation.

Model layer in MVC.

Each object instance is tied to a row in DB.

Database migration system.

 

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateUsersTable extends Migration {

	/**
	 * Run the migrations.
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function up()
	{
		Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
		{
			$table->increments('id');
			$table->string('name');
			$table->string('email')->unique();
			$table->string('password', 60);
			$table->rememberToken();
			$table->timestamps();
		});
	}

	/**
	 * Reverse the migrations.
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function down()
	{
		Schema::drop('users');
	}

}

Controllers

<?php

class HousesController extends BaseController {
 
 
	public function index()
	{
		$houses = House::all();
		
		return View::make('houses.index', compact('houses'));
	}
 
 
	public function create()
	{
		return View::make('houses.create');
	}
 
 
	public function show($id)
	{
		$house = House::find($id);
		
		return View::make('houses.show', compact('house'));
	}
}

.. back to Routes

<?php

Route::get( 'homes', ['uses' => 'HousesController@index'] );

Route::get( 'homes/create', ['uses' => 'HousesController@create'] );

Route::get( 'homes/{id}/view', ['uses' => 'HousesController@show'] );

Middleware

Great for handling processes that should occur during the life cycle of a request.

 

  • Pushing something to a queue.
  • Checking for Authentication
  • Maintenance Mode
  • Good for handling core additions
  • ... Handling of Request 

Blade Templates/Views

Let's you generate markup and views agnostic to any logic handling.

@extends('app')

@section('content')
<div class="container">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
			<div class="panel panel-default">
				<div class="panel-heading">Home</div>

				<div class="panel-body">
					Welcome {{ $user->name }}!
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
@endsection

...
<body>
    <header>
        <h1>Site Name</h1>
    </header>
    
    <article>
    	@yield('content')
    </article>

	<!-- Scripts -->
	<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
