Laravel Tips

Laravel Tricks is a website created by Stidges and Maksim Surguy as an unofficial repository of tips and tricks for web developers using the Laravel PHP framework.

Requirements

The Laravel-Tricks website requires a server with PHP 5.4+ that has the MCrypt extension installed.

The database engine that is used to store data for this application could be any of the engines supported by Laravel: MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and SQL Server.

Quick Start and Installation

To get started and start making something of your own using this repository as a base: download this repository, create an empty database that this application will use, configure a few settings in the app/config folder and enjoy!

Configuration

• Open up app/config/database.php and configure connection settings for your database.
• Configure hostname in bootstrap/start.php file to match your machine's hostname:

  $env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(
  
      'local' => array('your-machine-name'), // Edit this line
  
  ));
  

• If you want to use Github OAuth for login and registration, make sure to create a Github application first and provide its client ID and client secret to the config in app/config/social.php. Also make sure you're using http://<your-site.com>/login/github for Authorization callback URL

After this simple configuration you can populate the database by running a couple commands shown below.

Installation

CD into the directory of this project and run the following three commands:

1. composer install
2. php artisan migrate
3. php artisan db:seed

This will install all Composer dependencies, create the database structure and populate the database with some sample data so that you could see this project in action.
