Is there any drag-and-drop studio/builder for Laravel?

Since the coding itself really sucks and complicated, is there any drag-and-drop studio for Laravel? (Just like MS Frontpage or whatever) Using Laravel is really pain in the head (and for a long time), and as an insult to injury, it is an obligatory lesson and I cannot f***ing skip it! So I hope such software I've mentioned before is EXIST. I can't stand this tortures with bare coding of Laravel, and Laravel is a piece of torment itself. If it does, it would be a flipping amazing miracle.

(PS: I'm calling bullsh**t to whoever said that Laravel is flipping easy. It's an obvious torment in PHP.)

@tisuchi : That link is really promising. Time to use that Futurama "Shut up and take my money" meme.

@zachleigh : Example, complicated code/routes for a single basic standard PHP command.

@johnkurumizawa Not quite sure what you mean. If you understand object oriented programming its all pretty straightforward.

@johnkurumizawa Laravel is a framework that tries to ease alot of the pain included in building a robust PHP application. If you are looking to do a simple, one-page PHP page, then maybe it's overkill. But if you have anything that looks like MVC would help, it gives you a huge boost in productivity.

I would suggest you watch the videos on this site. Once you get the basics of how routes, controllers, and views work, it is a breeze.

Go back to WordPress.

Laravel is for PHP developers to create applications, not drag and drop crap.

Yii 1 has a nice GUI to build simple apps.

I shudder to think about the crap code that such a "tool" would generate.

I aggre with @Cronix. But From My Opinion Laravel is hard because the DOCUMENTATION. I have been using Django for create some app. Also Ruby On Rails. On Django Official Documentation it's has an ebook version (PDF, etc..) and really EASY TO FOLLOW THE DOCUMENTATION. Also RoR Official Documentation REALLY EASY TO FOLLOW. PLEASE CONSIDER UPDATE THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION LIKE DJANGO or RoR.

There's a reason why no real developer uses frontpage.

Why even use laravel for that matter. Your better of using Wix.

Sound to me like you are not a coder, +1 for Wordpress.

@Cruozy i was looking to in to page builders, came across this post. so added details, that might help someone.

@phpMick No, i am not a wordpress developer, thou i am a php developer worked in multiple frameworks. what makes you think i don't code?

crnkovic's avatar

Page builder is a very broad term. Especially when it comes to a framework.

You want a page builder (as in drag-and-drop some UI components, that is built with Laravel), or you want a page builder FOR Laravel, or what? Laravel is a framework, a set of tools built for easier web development, not a system you can plug onto your site and it makes your website a blog or a CMS or whatever.

because @phpmick was probably not replying to you, but to the OP which was pointless (because you dragged up a year old thread)

you can build it yourself laravel not a cms we are developers make cmss

:: Menu Manager Structure ::

  • Modules

    • module_id
    • module_name
  • Modules_routes

    • module_id
    • name
    • route_name
    • route_params [ each param has database source ] -> model_name [\App\Models\Page] , title_column, id_column , slug_column
  • Menu

    • name -> unique()
    • position -> enum
    • primary -> boolean
  • Menu Item Types [ URL , URI , Module (pages, etc..) has many routes ]

  • Menu Items

    • title
    • type
    • route_name ('pages.view')
    • params (json encoded array like ['slug' => 'test-page', 'category' => 'test-category'])
    • value [might be URL , URI , #, etc..] -> nullable() if you filled type as module
    • parent_item
    • sort
    • icon

this is just a vision you can extend and implement this structure

This post is 2 years old... why would you revive it for your tiny fragment of a thought comment?
