About Laravel

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:

• Simple, fast routing engine.
• Powerful dependency injection container.
• Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
• Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
• Database agnostic schema migrations.
• Robust background job processing.
• Real-time event broadcasting.

Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.

Setup Instructions

To get this project up and running locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone <your-repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Install PHP dependencies using Composer:

   composer install

3. Copy the example environment file and generate an application key: If you have a .env.example file, copy it to .env:

   cp .env.example .env

   Then, generate the application key:

   php artisan key:generate

   If you don't have a .env.example file, create a .env file and add the necessary configurations.

4. Configure your environment variables in the .env file: Open the .env file and make sure the following variables are set with your Stripe credentials and desired currency:

   CASHIER_CURRENCY=USD # Or your preferred currency
   STRIPE_KEY=your_stripe_publishable_key
   STRIPE_SECRET=your_stripe_secret_key
   
   # Add other necessary environment variables like database connection details
   DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
   or
   DB_CONNECTION=mysql
   DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
   DB_PORT=3306
   DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
   DB_USERNAME=your_database_user
   DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

5. Run database migrations:

   php artisan migrate --seed or php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

6. Serve the application:

   php artisan serve

   The application will usually be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
