What is Laravel?

• Laravel is an open source MVC PHP Framework under

MVC Architecture

• Model Model deals with backend logical
  structure of the application such as data base
  records. In laravel it is denoted as Eloquent
  model.
• View View deals with frontend such as the HTML,
  CSS. In laravel it works with Blade Template
  Engine and denoted as View.
• Controller Model and View can be communicated
  through Controllers. In laravel it is denoted as
  Controller.

13
Laravel directory structure

• After crating laravel first app you will notice
  there is huge laravel directory structure

14
Laravel directory structure

• Let us discuss the directory structure in brief
• It comes as no surprise that all Laravel projects
  have essentially the same directory structure -
  one in which every file has its designated place.
  By gently forcing this directory structure upon
  developers, Laravel ensures that your work is
  semi-automatically organized the Laravel way.
• As you can see, this standard directory structure
  consists of quite a few subdirectories. This
  wealth of subdirectories can be overwhelming at
  first, but well explore them one by one. Most of
  your work will happen in the app/ folder, but
  heres a basic rundown on the function of each of
  the files and folders

15
Laravel directory structure

• Top-level Folders and their purpose
• /app/ Contains the controllers, models, views and
  assets for your application. This is where the
  majority of the code for your application will
  live. You will be spending most of your time in
  this folder!
• /public/ The only folder seen to the world as-is.
  This is the directory that you have to point your
  web server to. It contains the bootstrap file
  index.php which jump-starts the Laravel framework
  core. The public directory can also be used to
  hold any publicly accessible static assets such
  as CSS, Javascript files, images and other files.
• /vendor/ A place for all third-party code. In a
  typical Laravel application, this includes the
  Laravel source code and its dependencies, and
  plugins containing additional prepackaged
  functionality.

16
Laravel directory structure

• /app/Http/routes.php
• Suppose routes.php file contains the below
  mentioned code
• Routeget('/', function()
• return view('welcome')
• )
• When you browse http//localhost/project-name/publ
  ic/
• It goes to routes.php and finds get request and
  as a result it goes to return view('welcome'). So
  it then moves to view directory.

17
Laravel directory structure

• /resources/views/welcome.blade.php
• Blade is the simple, yet powerful templating
  engine provided with Laravel.
• The complete user viewable contents can be placed
  here
• It uses html, css,javascript and php

18
Laravel directory structure

• Suppose routes.php has the below code
• Routeresource('photo', 'PhotoController')
• It goes to App/Http/Controllers/ directory and
  finds PhotoController.php which contains logic
  for backend data.
• This single route declaration creates multiple
  routes to handle a variety of RESTful actions on
  the photo resource.

19
Laravel directory structure

• Methods or Actions Handled By Resource Controller
  
• Verb Path Action
  Route Name
• GET /photo index
  photo.index
• GET /photo/create create
  photo.create
• POST /photo store
  photo.store
• GET /photo/photo show
  photo.show
• GET /photo/photo/edit edit
  photo.edit
• PUT/PATCH /photo/photo update
  photo.update
• DELETE /photo/photo destroy
  photo.destroy

20
Laravel directory structure

• PhotoController.php
• class PhotoController extends Controller
• public function index()
• return view('welcome')
• public function create() //logic for create
  photo
• public function store() //logic for store photo
  
• public function show() //logic for show photo
• public function edit() //logic for edit photo
• public function update() //logic for update
  photo
• public function destroy() //logic for destroy
  photo
