--
Laravel is a popular PHP framework that makes it easy to create web applications. It includes a number of features that make it ideal for creating blogs, such as a built-in ORM, a powerful routing system, and a flexible templating engine.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a simple blog with Laravel. We will start by creating a new Laravel project, and then we will create the database tables for our blog. We will also create the controllers and views that will be used to display our blog posts.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have a working blog that you can use to share your thoughts and ideas with the world.
Prerequisites
Before you get started, you will need the following:
- A text editor or IDE
- A PHP development environment
- Composer
Creating a New Laravel Project
The first step is to create a new Laravel project. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-blog
This will create a new directory called my-blog
. This directory will contain all of the files that you need to create your blog.
Creating the Database Tables
Next, we need to create the database tables for our blog. We can do this by running the following command:
php artisan migrate
This will create the following database tables:
posts
- This table will store the blog posts.users
- This table will store the users of the blog.
