Hi,
Hi, I saw the tutorials online on how to create CRUD in laravel. Here is the link: http://itsolutionstuff.com/post/laravel-55-crud-example-from-scratchexample.html
I tried to understand and read the documentations of laravel but I can't really figure out what are these, could someone help me or guide me what's the use of these codes? Thanks in advance.
public function index()
{
$articles = Article::latest()->paginate(5);
return view('articles.index',compact('articles'))
->with('i', (request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
}
Article from Article::latest() is this Model name?articles from compact('articles') is that Route from web.php? Route::resource('articles','ArticlesController');
Thanks in advance.
Article is a model. The articles.index is in the ArticlesController's index method. That method may show a view. A route resource controller generates the CRUD method stubs for you. You can make them all yourself but why do it when you can have the stubs generated.
@archiebango Might be worth reading the Laravel documentation if you don’t understand what’s going on in that brief code snippet.
You need to sign up to LARACASTS!!!! You'll be an expert in no time! Or at least pretty sufficient. Best money you'll ever spend.
@ejdelmonico did a good job explaining this but I will try to make it more simple.
Yes. "Article" here is the name of the model.
No.
compact('articles') is the variable from this line
$articles = Article::latest()->paginate(5);
Bascially, "compact('articles') is just saying to pass the variable $articles to the template.
view('articles.index',compact('articles'))
So you pass the variable $articles to the template located at resources/views/articles/index.
"view('articles.index'," uses dot notation which would be the '/articles/index" I just mentioned.
You were sort of close. When you asked about routes. But actually it was the location to the templates.
Route::resource('articles','ArticlesController');
here the 'articles' is part of the URL: http;//mywebsite.com/articles
ArticlesController should be self explanatory.
Don't even think about starting to use Laravel until you have watched:
If you're starting with Laravel have a read about the basics first:
View: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/views Passing data to views: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/views#passing-data-to-views Resource controllers: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/controllers#resource-controllers Eloquent: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/eloquent
Thank you guys for help and info. Cheers
