Project based on tutorial:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3uRXvwXz1o

  1. Creating a laraval project: using git bash inside the target folder: $ composer create-project laraval/laravel {project_name}

  2. Creating a virtual host that will only show the content of public instead of all project files:

    CAN HAVE MORE THEN ONE VHOST IN SAME IP

    • Edit: C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.39\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf Add: <VirtualHost *:80> # lsapp: vhost name # public in the project: lsapp DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/laravelFromScratch/lsapp/public" # server name can be anything ServerName lsapp.local ServerAlias lsapp.local

      Example for outside of wamp64/www: <VirtualHost *:80> # allocationTool.lo: vhost name # public in the project: allocationTool DocumentRoot "D:/Repos/UoLFinal/code/trunk/allocationTool/public" # server name can be anything ServerName allocationTool.lo ServerAlias allocationTool.lo <Directory "D:/Repos/UoLFinal/code/trunk/allocationTool/public"> Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews AllowOverride All require all granted

    • Edit: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host How: As administrator, Using notepad Add:

        127.0.0.1 localhost
  127.0.0.1 lsapp.local
  # lsapp.local: somthing.local is a naming convention
  # I commented out the original content and localhost still works

  3. Creating a new controller: using Artisan is better: $ php artisan make:controller (name of subfolder)/PagesController --resource --resource: creates functions within the controller, e.g. create, store, delete.. name of subfolder: if need to create it in a subfolder

  4. Change app name in .env: APP_NAME={new app name}

  5. Use new app name in title tag in the views:

    <title>{{config('APP_NAME', 'LSAPP')}}</title> // use app name, if can't find it use static 'LSAPP'

  6. To stop the error in web.php: error: Undefined type 'Route'.intelephense(1009) solution: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

    // I did the laravel-ide-helper steps up to registering the provider, wouldn't work!

  14. php artisan route:list: shows a list of the app routes

  15. REMOVED!!! Edit: app\providers\AppServiceProvider.php To: prevent error due to using a string in the migration: create_posts_table Add: use illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; in: class body

    Add: Schema::defaultStringLength(191); in: public function boot()
