Why do we use Laravel?

Laravel, a remarkable PHP framework, has revolutionized the way we approach web development. Following the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, Laravel comes with a plethora of built-in features that streamline the development process. From organizing complex web applications to providing authentication, sessions, routing, and caching, Laravel has evolved from a simple PHP framework into a comprehensive ecosystem offering services like Vapor, Forge, Tinker, Mix, Telescope, Dusk, and more.

Laravel: A One-Stop Solution for Web Development

When it comes to building complex websites, factors like organization, security, functionality, and database manipulation are crucial. Laravel, with its class and efficiency, eliminates the need to reinvent the wheel. If you're familiar with PHP-based website development, Laravel's features will undoubtedly impress you, making it hard to imagine developing a website without it.

Learning Laravel with Laracast

To dive deeper into Laravel, Laracast is an excellent resource. It offers a wealth of video tutorials showcasing best practices for using the framework and other complementary technologies.

Laravel's Documentation and Community

Laravel's comprehensive documentation and vibrant community make it easy to find help when you're stuck or want to understand the framework's inner workings better. Following Laracast tutorials can also help you refactor and clean up your code. It's crucial to use Laravel as suggested by the documentation and make the most of the provided features.

Laravel's User Authentication

In today's digital landscape, user authentication is a must for almost every website. Laravel simplifies this process with a single command. Creating a new Laravel app is as simple as running the command laravel new blog, and adding a Laravel app with authentication is just as easy with laravel new blog --auth. This command prepares all the views, routes, and controllers for a secure login system, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your website.

Laravel's Support for Email Services and Database Management

Laravel supports various notification email services, including Mailgun, Mandrill, SparkPost, Amazon SES, and SendMail. If you decide to switch your database from MySQL to SQLite, Laravel's Eloquent ORM makes this transition smooth, along with managing other relationships within the database.

User Role Restrictions with Laravel

Laravel's authentication and policy features make it easy to implement user role restrictions. Whether you need to restrict access to a certain page or an HTML element, Laravel has you covered. For instance, if you're running a course platform with different user roles like admin, teachers, and students, Laravel allows you to control access to different pages and elements within a page.

In conclusion, Laravel's robust features and ease of use make it an excellent choice for web development. Whether you're building a simple blog or a complex web application, Laravel provides the tools and flexibility you need to create a secure, efficient, and user-friendly website.
