At a Glance
Run Time 2:40 FreeBefore we dig into the nuts and bolts of Laravel, let's first zoom out and discuss what exactly happens when a request comes in.
-
Install PHP, MySQL and Composer
Run Time 3:33 FreeBefore we get started, you must first ensure that up-to-date versions of both PHP and MySQL are installed and available on your machine. In this episode, we'll review how to go about this. Once complete, we can then install Composer.

The Laravel Installer
Run Time 3:02 FreeNow that we have Composer setup, we can pull in the Laravel installer and make it accessible globally on our machine. This allows you to run a single command to build a fresh Laravel installation:
laravel new app. -

Run Time 3:18 NewIf you're a Mac user, rather than running
php artisan serve, you might instead choose to install Laravel Valet. Valet is a blazing fast development environment for Laravel that's a cinch to setup.

Basic Routing and Views
Run Time 3:41 NewWhen I learn a new framework, the first thing I do is figure out how the framework's default splash page is loaded. Let's work through it together. Our first stop is
routes/web.php. -
Pass Request Data to Views
Run Time 4:11 NewThe
request()helper function can be used to fetch data from anyGETorPOSTrequest. In this episode, we'll learn how to fetch data from the query-string, pass it to a view, and then encode it to protected against potential XSS attacks. -

Run Time 3:42 FreeOften, you'll need to construct a route that accepts a wildcard value. For example, when viewing a specific post, part of the URI will need to be unique. In these cases, we can reach for a route wildcard.
-
Routing to Controllers
Run Time 3:01 FreeIt's neat that we can provide a closure to handle any route's logic, however, you might find that for more sizable projects, you'll almost always reach for a dedicated controller instead. Let's learn how in this lesson.
