Laravel 5.6 Tutorial For Beginners
We are going to Configure Laravel Project.
#1: Install Laravel Project
Install Laravel 5.6 Project by the typing following command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel 5.6tutorialbeginner
#2: Configure SQL Database
Now we can setup database credentials.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=tutorialforbeginner DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=
#3: Build Model and Migration File
php artisan make:model Stocks -m
It will create the Stocks.php file and also create a create_stocks_table.php migration file.
//// create_stocks_table
public function up()
{
Schema::create('stocks', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('stockname');
$table->integer('stockprice');
$table->text('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Now, migrate the table by the following command.
php artisan migrate
In the database, you can see the stocks table.
#4: Create a View File
You can create a file in resources/views/stockcreate.blade.php and put this following code in it.
<!-- stockcreate.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Laravel 5.6 Tutorial For Beginners </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}">
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h2>Laravel 5.6 Tutorial For Beginners</h2><br/>
<form method="post" action="{{url('stockcreate')}}">
@csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="StockName">Stock Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="stockname">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="StockPrice">Stock Price:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="stockprice">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="description">Description:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" rows="5" name="description"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
#5: Create one controller
php artisan make:controller StockController
It will build the controller file called StockController.php.
//StockController.php
public function create()
{
return view('stockcreate');
}
#6: Define Route
We register all route in a web.php file.
//web.php
Route::get('stockcreate','StockController@create');
Route::post('stockcreate','StockController@store');
Route::get('stocks','StockController@index');
Route::get('/edit/stock/{id}','StockController@edit');
Route::post('/edit/stock/{id}','StockController@update');
Route::delete('/delete/stock/{id}','StockController@destroy');
#7: Store data to the database
We need coding the store function in sequence to store the data in the database.
//StockController.php
public function store(Request $request)
{
$stock= new \App\Stocks;
$stock->stockname=$request->get('stockname');
$stock->stockprice=$request->get('stockprice');
$stock->description=$request->get('description');
$stock->save();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success', 'Stock has been added');
}
#8: Make an index page to list the data.
For that, we want to forward the data to the stockindex.blade.php. So, in StockController.php file, we need to write the code to retrieve the data and return it to the stock index view.
//StockController.php
public function index()
{
$stocks=\App\Stocks::all();
return view('stockindex',compact('stocks'));
}
In resources/views produce individual blade file called stockindex.blade.php file and placed the subsequent code in it.
<!-- stockindex.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Index Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<br />
@if (\Session::has('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
<p>{{ \Session::get('success') }}</p>
</div><br />
@endif
<h2>NYSE Stock</h2>
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Stock Name</th>
<th>Stock Price</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th colspan="2">Action</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach($stocks as $stock)
<tr>
<td>{{$stock['id']}}</td>
<td>{{$stock['stockname']}}</td>
<td>{{$stock['stockprice'].'$'}}</td>
<td>{{$stock['description']}}</td>
<td><a href="{{action('StockController@edit', $stock['id'])}}" class="btn btn-warning">Edit</a></td>
<td>
<form action="{{action('StockController@destroy', $stock['id'])}}" method="post">
@csrf
<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="DELETE">
<button class="btn btn-danger" type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So, when you type this URL: http://localhost:8000/stocks
#9: Build an edit view for updating the data.
Our step will be the edit function in StockController.php file and set the following code in it.
//StockController.php
public function edit($id)
{
$stock = \App\Stocks::find($id);
return view('stockedit',compact('stock','id'));
}
Now, make a stockedit.blade.php file inside resources/views.
<!-- stockedit.blade.php -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Laravel 5.6 CRUD Tutorial With Example </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h2>Edit Stock</h2><br />
<form method="post" action="{{action('StockController@update', $id)}}">
@csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="stockname">Stock Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="stockname" value="{{$stock->stockname}}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="stockprice">Stock Price:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="stockprice" value="{{$stock->stockprice}}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<label for="description">Description:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" rows="5" name="description">{{ $stock->description }}</textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" style="margin-left:38px">Update</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Next step would be to code update function.
//StockController.php
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$stock= \App\Stocks::find($id);
$stock->stockname=$request->get('stockname');
$stock->stockprice=$request->get('stockprice');
$stock->description=$request->get('description');
$stock->save();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success','Stock has been updated');
}
You can see below screenshot that we can update the price of Netflix 316$ to 310$.
#10: Remove the data
//StockController.php
public function destroy($id)
{
$stock = \App\Stocks::find($id);
$stock->delete();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success','Stock has been deleted');
}
You can see below screenshot that we can delete the data of Netflix.
Final Code of StockController.php looks like below
//StockController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class StockController extends Controller
{
public function create()
{
return view('stockcreate');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$stock= new \App\Stocks;
$stock->stockname=$request->get('stockname');
$stock->stockprice=$request->get('stockprice');
$stock->description=$request->get('description');
$stock->save();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success', 'Stock has been added');
}
public function index()
{
$stocks=\App\Stocks::all();
return view('stockindex',compact('stocks'));
}
public function edit($id)
{
$stock = \App\Stocks::find($id);
return view('stockedit',compact('stock','id'));
}
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$stock= \App\Stocks::find($id);
$stock->stockname=$request->get('stockname');
$stock->stockprice=$request->get('stockprice');
$stock->description=$request->get('description');
$stock->save();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success','Stock has been updated');
}
public function destroy($id)
{
$stock = \App\Stocks::find($id);
$stock->delete();
return redirect('stocks')->with('success','Stock has been deleted');
}
}
