The document provides an overview of the Laravel PHP framework, focusing on its core features, such as dependency injection via IoC, Eloquent ORM for database interactions, and routing mechanisms. It covers how to use service providers, facades, and various types of relationships in Eloquent, alongside examples of routing to closures and controllers. Additionally, the document mentions Laravel's capabilities for authentication, localization, and task automation with Artisan commands.

6. <? WHY ?>

7. Easy to Learn

8. Ready For Tomorrow

9. Great Community

10. Composer Powered

Dependency Manager for PHP

11. Eloquent ORM

12. Easy for TDD
FAIL PASS
REFACTOR

13. INSTALLATION
It’s too easy, I don’t have to tell you.

14. IoC
Inverse of Control
IlluminateContainerContainer

15. Wikipedia
In software engineering, inversion of control
describes a design in which custom-written
portions of a computer program receive the
flow of control from a generic, reusable library
“what you get when your program make a call”
“Removing dependency from the code”

16. Simplifying Dependency Injection
$object = new SomeClass($dependency1, $dependency2);
$object = App::make(‘SomeClass’);

17. Hard-coded source dependency
public function sendEmail()
{
$mailer = new Mailer;
$mailer->send();
}
public function sendEmail()
{
$mailer = App::make(‘Mailer’);
$mailer->send();
}
IoC Resolution

18. Telling IoC what we need
$Bar = App::make(‘Bar’); // new Bar;
App::bind(‘Bar’, ‘MockBar’);
$Bar = App::make(‘Bar’); // new MockBar;

19. Simple ways to bind to the
IoC
App::bind(‘SomeClass’, function() {
return new Foo;
});
$fooObject = new Foo;
$object = App::bind(‘SomeClass’, $fooObject);
App::bind(‘SomeClass’, ‘Foo’);

20. Singleton Dependencies
$object = App::singleton(‘CurrentUser’, function() {
$auth = App::make(‘Auth’);
return $auth->user(); // returns user object
});

21. Automatic Dependency Resolution
class EmailService {
public function __construct(Mailer $mailer)
{
$this->mailer = $mailer;
}
public function sendEmail() {
$this->mailer->send();
}
}
$EmailService = App::make(‘EmailService’);

22. Service Providers

23. Service Providers
use IlluminateSupportServiceProvider;
class ContentServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind(‘PostInterface’, ‘MyNameSpacePost’);
}
}
App::register(‘ContentServiceProvider’); // Registering at Runtime

24. Laravel Facades
Illuminate/Support/Facades/Facade

25. What is Facade
In Laravel Context
Facade is a class that provide access
to an object registered
in the IoC container.
Facade
Class
IoC Container Object A
cades enable you to hide complex interface behind a simple one.

26. What is happening?
Illuminate/Support/Facades/Route
Route::get(‘/’, ‘HomeController@getIndex’);
$app->make(‘router’)->get(‘/’, ‘HomeController@getIndex’);
Illuminate/Routing/Router

27. Facades in Laravel
Illuminate/Support/Facades/
App Artisan Auth Blade Cache Config Cookie Crypt
DB Event File Form Hash HTML Input Lang
Log Mail Paginator Password Queue Redirect Redis
Request Response Route Schema ViewSession SSH URL Validator
Illuminate/Foundation/Application

28. Eloquent
Talking to your data
IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel

29. $result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM `users`”);
How you query in plain PHP 5.4 or less (deprecated)
$mysqli = new mysqli(“localhost”, “user”,”password”,”database”);
$result = $mysqli->query(“SELECT * FROM `users` “);
How you query in plain PHP 5.5 or above
User::all();
In Laravel 4, does the same query

30. User::all();
DB::table(‘users’)->get();
IlluminateDatabaseQueryBuilder
What happens when you use Eloquent ORM

31. Create, Read, Update, Delete
Post::create($data);
Post::find($id);
Post::find($id)->update($data);
Post::delete($id);

32. Eloquent Model Class
class Post extends Eloquent {
public function comments() {
return $this->hasMany(‘Comment’);
}
public function author() {
return $this->belongsTo(‘User’);
}
public function scopePublished($q) {
return $q->where(‘publish’,’=‘,1);
}
}

33. Eloquent Model Class
class Post extends Eloquent {
public function comments() {
return $this->hasMany(‘Comment’);
}
public function author() {
return $this->belongsTo(‘User’);
}
public function scopePublished($q) {
return $q->where(‘publish’,’=‘,1);
}
}

34. $post = Post::find($id);
$author = post->author;
// get the author object
Get Post’s Author Object
$posts = Post::with(‘author’)->get();
Get Posts including Authors

35. Get Post Comments Approved
$post = Post::find($id);
$comments = $post->comments()
->where(‘approved’, true)->get();

36. Model with Query Scope
$published_posts = Post::published()->get();
// gets all posts published
$published_posts = Post::where(‘publish’, ‘=‘, true)->get();
// gets all posts published

37. Query Scope Example
class Post extends Eloquent {
public function comments() {
return $this->hasMany(‘Comment’);
}
public function author() {
return $this->belongsTo(‘User’);
}
public function scopePublished($q) {
return $q->where(‘publish’,’=‘,1);
}
}

38. Eloquent Relations

39. Eloquent Relationship
One to One
(hasOne)
class User
$this->hasOne(‘Profile’,
‘user_id’);
function Profile()
Users
pK: id
username
email
Profile
pk: id
fK: user_id
url

40. class Post
$this->
hasMany(‘Comment’);
function comments()
Posts
pK: id
title
user_id
Comments
pk: id
fK: post_id
user_id
Eloquent Relationship
One to Many
(hasMany)

41. class User
$this->
belongsToMany(‘Group’);
function groups()
Users
pK: id
username
email
Groups
pk: id
Name
Group_User

(belongsToMany)

42. class Country
$this->
hasManyThrough(‘User’);
function posts()
Countries
pK: id

class Movie
$this-> morphMany(‘Photo’,
‘imageable);
function image()
Profile
pK: id
user_id
preferences

pk: id
file_path
imageable_id
imageable_type
Movie
pK: id
title
released
class Photo
$this-> morphTo();
function imageable()
class Profile
$this-> morphMany(‘Photo’,
‘imageable);
function image()

44. Eloquent Relationship
Many to Many Polymorphic Association
$movie->tags; $post->tags;
Posts
pK: id

function tags()
class Tag
$this->
morphedByMany
(‘Post’, ‘Taggable’);
function posts()
$this->
morphedByMany
(‘Movie’, ‘Taggable’);
function movies()

45. Underneath Eloquent Model
Query Builder
DB::table(‘users’)->get();
DB::table(‘users’)->where(‘email’, ‘raftalks@gmail.com’)->first();
DB::table(‘users’)->where(‘votes’, ‘>’, 100)
->orWhere(‘votebox’, ‘A’)->get();
IlluminateDatabaseQueryBuilder

46. Complex Queries via Query Builder
DB::table(‘users’)
->join(‘contacts’, function($join) {
$join->on(‘users.id’, ‘=‘, ‘contacts.user_id’)
->whereNotNull(‘contacts.mobile_number’);
})
->leftJoin(‘submissions’,’users.id’, ‘=‘, ‘submissions.user_id’)
->whereExists(function($query) {
$query->select(DB::raw(1))->from(‘reviews’)
->whereRaw(‘reviews.user_id = users.id’);
})
->whereYear(‘users.joined_date’, ‘>’, 2010)
->get();
Get all users joined after year 2010 having over 1000 visits and
having submitted reviews. Only select users with their contacts
having mobile numbers and include if they have any content
submitted.

Features from the documentation

48. Routing
Wolf

49. Multiple Routing Paradigms
1. route to closures
2. route to controller actions
3. route to RESTful controllers
4. route to resource

50. Routing to Closure
Route::get(‘techtalks’, function() {
return “<h1> Welcome </h1>“;
});
Route::post(‘techtalks’, function() {
});
Route::put(‘techtalks/{id}’, function($id) {
});
Route::delete(‘techtalks/{id}’, function($id) {
});
Route::any(‘techtalks’, function() {
});

51. Route Groups and Filters
Route::group([‘prefix’=>’settings’, ‘before’=>’auth’], function() {
Route::get(‘users’, function() {
// get a post by id
});
});
Route::filter(‘auth’, function() {
if (Auth::guest()) return Redirect::guest('login');
});

52. Subdomain Routing
// Registering sub-domain routes
Route::group([‘domain’ =>’{account}.fihaara.com’], function() {
Route::get(‘/’, function($account) {
return “welcome to “ . $account;
});
});

53. Routing to a Controller Action
class HomePageController extends BaseController {
public function home()
{
return “welcome to home page”;
}
}
Route::get(‘/‘, ‘HomePageController@home’);

54. class TechTalksController extends Controller {
public function getIndex() {} /talks
public function getTalkerProfile($id) {}/talks/talker-profile/1
public function getTalk($id) {} /talks/talk/1
public function postTalk(){} /talks/talk
public function putTalk(){} /talks/talk
public function deleteTalk($id){} /talks/talk/1
}
Routing to RESTful Controller
Route::controller(‘talks’, ‘TechTalksController’);
Public method must be prefixed with an HTTP verb

55. class PostsController extends Controller {
public function index() {} // posts GET
public function create() {} // posts/create GET
public function store() {} // posts POST
public function show($id) {} // posts/{id} GET
public function edit($id) {} // posts/{id}/edit GET
public function update() {} // posts/{id} PUT
public function destroy() {} // posts/{id} DELETE
…
Routing to Resource Controller
Route::resource(‘posts’, ‘PostsController’);

56. Other Cool Features

57. Authentication
$credentials = [‘username’=> ‘raftalks’, ‘password’ => ‘secret’];
if (Auth::attempt($credentals) === false)
{
return Redirect::to(‘login-error’);
}
if (Auth::check() === false)
{
return Redirect::to(‘login’);
}
Check if user is authenticated

58. Localization
App::setLocale(‘dv’);
echo Lang::get(‘news.world_news’); // out puts “‫ދ‬ު ‫ނ‬ި ‫ޔ‬ޭ ‫ގ‬ެ ‫ޚ‬ަ ‫ބ‬ަ ‫ރ‬ު ”
echo Trans(‘news.world_news’);
Basic Usage
return array(
“world_news” => “‫ދ‬ު ‫ނ‬ި ‫ޔ‬ޭ ‫ގ‬ެ ‫ޚ‬ަ ‫ބ‬ަ ‫ރ‬ު ”,
“news” => “‫ޚ‬ަ ‫ބ‬ަ ‫ރ‬ު ”,
…
Lang File
FILE PATH:
/app
/lang
/dv
news.php

59. Artisan CLI
Laravel Provides
Artisan Commands for
Rapid Development
You can develop custom
Artisan commands
for a package or
an application

60. Creating DB Migration
php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --create=users
class Create_Users_table extends Migration {
public function up() {
Schema::create(‘users’, function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments(‘id’);
$table->string(‘username’, 50);
$table->string(‘password’, 200);
});
},
public function down() {
Schema::drop(‘users’);
}
}

61. Seeding into your DB
class DefaultAdminUserSeeder extends Seeder {
public function run() {
DB::table(‘users’)->delete(); // truncates the table data
User::create([
‘username’=>’admin’,
‘password’=> Hash::make(‘password’)
]);
}
}

62. Events
Event::fire(‘news.created’, $post);
Event::listen(‘news.created’,function($post) {
UserPostCounter::increment(‘posts’, $post->user_id);
});

63. Mail
Mail::send(‘emails.welcome’, $data, function($message) use($user)
{
$message->to($user->email, $user->name)
->subject(‘Welcome’);
});
uses SwiftMailer Library
or use API drivers for
Mailgun or Mandrill

64. Queues
Beanstalkd
Amazon SQS
IronMQ
Redis
Synchronous (for lcoal use)
Queue::push('SendEmail', [‘message' => $message]);
php artisan queue:listen
