Getting started with Laravel

This is a simple example of how Laravel and Yajra's Laravel DataTables might get integrated. Primitive approach, but enlightening.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1
• NodeJS 16
• MySQL 5.7

Simple winget-install.bat script added (experimental) for you to easily set up this project

Just remember to add path to your PHP script (C:\xampp\php) to your Environment Variable called "Path"

Install

Once you have all the dependencies installed:

PHP

Composer might complain about ext-gd extension. To enable it, go to C:\xampp\php and edit php.ini file by uncommenting (remving ";" - semicolon) line like: ;extension=gd

Libraries

Please install both frontend and backend libraries:

composer install;
npm install;

Migration

Ensure migration is performed. Create new database, fill values in .env file (with database name and host set).

Then run php artisan migrate

Add fake data

Run php artisan tinker and type:

Product::factory()->count(25)->create();

It should fill your database with fake data on Products. Please check it with phpMyAdmin or inside php artisan tinker

Product::where([])->get();

Should return a list of 25 items

Run

Now you can start server. Firstly build assets with

npm run dev

Then run server with

php artisan serve

Go to localhost:8000 and follow links
