[hire work] convert php code to laravel

Hello, I have a project in pure PHP that I am using as service to render data from database to html grid. It connects to MySQL (using mysqli), fetch the selected data and return back a json result.

I am looking for someone to conver this code to Laravel, taking advantages all good features or Laravel (ORM, etc).

Is someone interested? Or maybe you can suggest a good site like freelancer dot com (except that one cause I dont really have good experience).

Could you provide me with your Facebook messenger account/email so we could discuss your project and what the end requirements are.

Php / pdo technically is already laravel, at runtime querybuilder and orm is converted to regular SQL anyway. With getPdo they would work as is.

But the project uses mysqli, not PDO. And it still needs modification to use the same database instance as the whole laravel project.

I take it you are bound to this grid? I ask because the sample php code is probably several (or even 4-5) years old so how well maintained is the data grid component?

The data grid components is the most up to date grid component on the JS world. The code is updated very frequently. What you see in this project, is a PHP data source system. Tts pretty old but it works perfectly it will continue working with all future versions of grid. That's because the grid has a special system to load any custom data source system.

So regardless of any future update, the javascript that parses the data to the grid, will be the same.

In the extreme scenario that a big change will made to the grid, all I have to do is changes to the JS file (dx.aspnet.data.js) that parses data from the PHP backend to the grid. The PHP code doesn't need to change.

Theoretically, I can implement any custom data source system I want. Even REST API. But in that case I have to rewrite a custom source loader (like the dx.aspnet.data.js). So I prefer someone to help me migrate the existing PHP code to Laravel so it will work with the existing JS code I have.
