Creating new project in laravel

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new project in Laravel:

Prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Composer

If you haven't installed Composer yet, you can download it from the official website: https://getcomposer.org/download/

Step 2: Create a new project

Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name

Replace project-name with the name you want to give your project.

Step 3: Change into the project directory

Run the following command to change into the project directory:

cd project-name

Step 4: Install dependencies

Run the following command to install the dependencies required by Laravel:

composer install

Step 5: Configure the environment

Laravel comes with a default .env file that you can use to configure your environment. You can edit this file to set up your database credentials, timezone, and other settings.

Step 6: Run the database migrations

Laravel comes with a set of database migrations that you can use to create the necessary tables for your application. Run the following command to run the migrations:

php artisan migrate

Step 7: Start the development server

Run the following command to start the development server:

php artisan serve

This will start the server and you can access your application by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

Step 8: Create a new controller

Laravel comes with a default WelcomeController that you can use as a starting point. You can create a new controller by running the following command:

php artisan make:controller MyController

This will create a new controller called MyController in the app/Http/Controllers directory.

Step 9: Create a new route

You can create a new route by editing the routes/web.php file. For example, you can add the following code to create a new route:

Route::get('/hello', 'MyController@hello');

This will create a new route that maps to the hello method in the MyController controller.

Step 10: Test your application

You can test your application by visiting http://localhost:8000/hello in your web browser. You should see a page that says "Hello, World!".

That's it! You've created a new Laravel project and you're ready to start building your application.
