Laravel is an open-source PHP framework, which is robust and easy to understand. It follows a model-view-controller design pattern. Laravel reuses the existing components of different frameworks which helps in creating a web application. The web application thus designed is more structured and pragmatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laravel offers a rich set of functionalities which incorporates the basic features of PHP frameworks like CodeIgniter, Yii and other programming languages like Ruby on Rails. Laravel has a very rich set of features which will boost the speed of web development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are familiar with Core PHP and Advanced PHP, Laravel will make your task easier. It saves a lot time if you are planning to develop a website from scratch. Moreover, a website built in Laravel is secure and prevents several web attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laravel offers you the following advantages, when you are designing a web application based on it \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Composer is a tool which includes all the dependencies and libraries. It allows a user to create a project with respect to the mentioned framework (for example, those used in Laravel installation). Third party libraries can be installed easily with help of composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the dependencies are noted in composer.json<\/strong> file which is placed in the source folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Command line interface used in Laravel is called Artisan<\/strong>. It includes a set of commands which assists in building a web application. These commands are incorporated from Symphony framework, resulting in add-on features in Laravel 5.1 (latest version of Laravel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel offers the following key features which makes it an ideal choice for designing web applications \u2212<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel provides 20 built in libraries and modules which helps in enhancement of the application. Every module is integrated with Composer dependency manager which eases updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel includes features and helpers which helps in testing through various test cases. This feature helps in maintaining the code as per the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel provides a flexible approach to the user to define routes in the web application. Routing helps to scale the application in a better way and increases its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A web application designed in Laravel will be running on different environments, which means that there will be a constant change in its configuration. Laravel provides a consistent approach to handle the configuration in an efficient way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel incorporates a query builder which helps in querying databases using various simple chain methods. It provides ORM<\/strong> (Object Relational Mapper) and ActiveRecord<\/strong> implementation called Eloquent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schema Builder maintains the database definitions and schema in PHP code. It also maintains a track of changes with respect to database migrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel uses the Blade Template<\/strong> engine, a lightweight template language used to design hierarchical blocks and layouts with predefined blocks that include dynamic content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel includes a mail<\/strong> class which helps in sending mail with rich content and attachments from the web application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n User authentication is a common feature in web applications. Laravel eases designing authentication as it includes features such as register, forgot password<\/strong> and send password reminders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel uses Redis<\/strong> to connect to an existing session and general-purpose cache. Redis interacts with session directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel includes queue services like emailing large number of users or a specified Cron<\/strong> job. These queues help in completing tasks in an easier manner without waiting for the previous task to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laravel 5.1 includes Command Bus<\/strong> which helps in executing commands and dispatch events in a simple way. The commands in Laravel act as per the application\u2019s lifecycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laravel is an open-source PHP framework, which is robust and easy to understand.
