Passionate about Community
Before we begin
Have Virtualbox (virtualbox.org) Installed
Have VirtualBox Extension Pack Installed
Have Vagrant (vagrantup.com) Installed
run: vagrant box add laravel/homestead
New(ish) Toys in Laravel
New Directory Structure
Laravel 5 Directory
App directory now "Your Application" / "Entry point to app”
Laravel 4 Artisan Commands -> Console in App folder
Web stuff in Http
Controllers all have name space
filters.php -> Broken out into separate classes/files.
More focus on Service Providers -> Filter Service Providers
No more global.php -> Use service providers
Removed models directory. Can be just in app folder. PSR-4 default
Don't like the app namespace? artisan app:name MyApplication
Blade Changes
Laravel 4 uses {{ to echo and {{{ To echo escaped
Laravel 5 {{ and {{{ will echo escaped and {!! is used to echo raw
Biggest impact is likely form helpers: {!! Form::open() !!}
Commands
Commands (app/Commands) - Message containing only info needed
to do something
Command Handler (app/Handlers/Commands) - Class that does
something in response to a command
Command Bus - Allows dispatch of commands, matches commands
to handlers
Self handling commands just need a handle() method on the
command & implements SelfHandling
Events
Events (app/Events)
Events have handlers (similar to Commands)
Bind Events via appProvidersEventServiceProvider.php
Events inform the system something happened VS demanding
action from the system
Form Requests
Special class for validating and authorizing form submissions
Each class has rules() (returns array) and authorize() (returns boolean) methods
Benefit of rules & authorize being methods is you can perform logic
Type Hinting your forms to the Form Request will automatically validate your
forms
If validation fails, errors will be available to the view and redirected back.
This happens because the FormRequestServiceProvider listens for anything being
resolved is an instance of FormRequest and calls the validate method.
Helpers
view() - Get a View instance for the given view path
action() - Generate a URL for a given controller action
app_path() - Get the fully qualified path to the app directory
asset() - Generate a URL for an asset.
Routing – get(), delete(), put()
Route Caching
artisan route:cache
Serializes your routes.php
Benefits: Faster routing
Drawback: Must run artisan route:clear on every routes.php
change
Middleware
Implements decorator pattern. request -> does work -> returns object to next
layer
Laravel uses middleware for Encrypting/Decrypting cookies, Reading/Writing
Sessions
artisan make:middleware MyMiddleware (app/Http/Middleware)
Middleware registered in app/Http/Kernel.php
Can run before or after the request has been processed.
Easiest example would be auth
Controller Method Injection
Can inject dependencies into methods, no longer via constructor
Purpose is to help developers write cleaner code
Changes to Illuminate Packages
Form or HTML helpers no longer in Core, must be pulled in via
composer.
add "laravelcollective/html": "~5.0" to composer
update config/app.php
Elixir
API for defining basic Gulp tasks for your app.
Requires nodejs
Put your sass/less files in resources/assets/sass|less
Can trigger sass/less/phpunit/phpspec, combine stylesheets
Socialite
Easy to use social logins with oauth
Supports Facebook, Twitter, Google, Github, and Bitbucket
Contracts
Set of interfaces that define the core services provided by the
framework
Depend on abstractions, not concrete dependencies.
Write code that doesn't have to be aware of the laravel framework
Implicit Route Model Binding
Laravel will automatically resolve type-hinted Eloquent model's
defined in routes or controller actions whose variable names match a
route segment name.
Laravel 5.2https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/routing#route-model-binding
API Rate Limiting
Limit the amount of times a user can access your API with the
Throttle middleware.
Laravel 5.2https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-2/episodes/2
Will return HTTP Code 429 (Too many requests)
Auth & Password Resets
New artisan command make:auth generates scaffolding for you.
Laravel 5.2https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-2/episodes/3
Validating Arrays
Laravel 5.2https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-2/episodes/4
Authentication Drivers
Laravel 5.2
Easily have different authentication drivers for multiple
authenticatable models or user tables.
Useful to allow users from an admins table be able to log
in as well as users from a users table.
Functional Testing Is Easy!
Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.x
Fresh install Laravel 5
Update Dependencies /Packages
Namespace (somewhat optional for now)
Migrate environment variables
Move routes to app/Http/routes.php
Move controllers to app/Http/Controllers (add this to classmap)
Copy route bindings to boot() in app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php
Add route facade to RouteServiceProvider.php to continue using Route facade
CSRF is now global. Use middleware to disable if needed
Move models to app/Models. Add app/Models to classmap in composer.json
Update your user auth to use Laravel 5’s auth system
Move commands to app/Console/Commands. Add app/Console/Commands to classmap in composer.json
Move migrations to database/migrations, Database Seeds to database/seeds
… and more!
Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.x
https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/upgradeFresh install Laravel 5

Quick note on versions
5.1 LTS bug fixes for 2 years, security fixes for 3 years
Non LTS: bug fixes for 6 months, security fixes for 1 year
5.1 is currently the only LTS version
Which version should you use?
5.2 for my own projects
5.1 for client projects
Homestead
“Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged
Vagrant "box" that provides you a wonderful
development environment without requiring you
to install PHP, HHVM, a web server, and any
other server software on your local machine. No
more worrying about messing up your operating
system! Vagrant boxes are completely disposable.
If something goes wrong, you can destroy and re-
create the box in minutes!”
What’s in the box:
• Ubuntu 14.04
• PHP 7.0
• HHVM
• Nginx
• MySQL
• Postgres
• Redis
• NodeJS
• Bower
• Grunt
• Gulp
• Beanstalkd
• Memcached
• Laravel Envoy
Fabric + HipChat Extension + more!
Getting Homestead
Install the box:
vagrant box add laravel/homestead
Getting Homestead
If you have PHP installed locally:
composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0"
Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your
PATH so the homestead executable is found when you run the
homestead command in your terminal.
Homestead 2.x & 3.x
Significant change over previous 1.x versions
Uses homestead from your home folder
Less vagrant stuff in your projects (if you don’t like that
sort of thing)
3.x will give you PHP 7
How I use Homestead
Install Homestead

Viewing the Routes
Laravel-5.2-basic-quickstart/app/Http/routes.php
Exercise 1 Hints
Add / edit migration to create
users table
Add / edit User model
Add routes (just like task)
Add / edit User Views
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Exercise 1 Solution
To see a possible solution
checkout the branch “exercise-1”
git checkout exercise-1
Exercise 2
Assign users to tasks as you create
them
When listing tasks, show the user
they have assigned them
When listing users, show how many
tasks they have assigned them
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Exercise 2 Hints
Add / edit migration to create
users table
Add / edit User model
Add routes (just like task)
Add / edit User Views
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Exercise 2 Solution
To see a possible solution
checkout the branch “exercise-2”
git checkout exercise-2
Exercise 3
Write Tests for User Functionality
Write Tests for Task Functionality
Exercise 3 Hints
Use Model Factories to seed test data
Make sure the task is saved to the DB
Make sure the user is saved to the DB
Ensure the user delete request succeeds
Ensure the task delete request succeeds
Ensure the index page loads and contains data
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Exercise 3 Solution
To see a possible solution
checkout the branch “exercise-3”
git checkout exercise-3
Easy Stuff Right?
Let’s clean up a bit
Exercise 4
Move “Create” Forms to own views
Move “Current” html to own views
Move Create/Delete User Functionality to
Controller method
Move Create/Delete Task Functionality to
Controller method
Exercise 4 Hints
Use `php artisan make:controller` to
scaffold
Utilize your tests to make sure you
didn’t break anything:
`./vendor/bin/phpunit`
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Using Laravel Facades
Using Static Methods:
`User::all()`
`User::find(1);
`User::where(‘user_id`, 1)->get()
`User::where(‘email’, ‘joe@joeferguson.me’)->get();
Using Dependency Injection
Using Injected Object
`$this->user->all()`
`$this->user->find(1);
`$this->user->where(‘user_id`, 1)->get()
`$this->user->where(‘email’, ‘joe@joeferguson.me’)->get();
Exercise 5
Update your controllers to inject your
models instead of using static methods
(Facades)
Exercise 5 Hints
Make sure you “use AppModelName”
Utilize your tests to make sure you
didn’t break anything:
`./vendor/bin/phpunit`
You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
Exercise 6
Implement index view for tasks
Implement index view for users
Implement edit functionality for tasks
Add tests for your new routes & methods
Exercise 6 Hints
Route Controller
Go forth and develop!

Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.x Fresh install Laravel 5 Update Dependencies /Packages Namespace (somewhat optional for now) Migrate environment variables Move routes to app/Http/routes.php Move controllers to app/Http/Controllers (add this to classmap) Copy route bindings to boot() in app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php Add route facade to RouteServiceProvider.php to continue using Route facade CSRF is now global. Use middleware to disable if needed Move models to app/Models. Add app/Models to classmap in composer.json Update your user auth to use Laravel 5’s auth system Move commands to app/Console/Commands. Add app/Console/Commands to classmap in composer.json Move migrations to database/migrations, Database Seeds to database/seeds … and more!

  • 27. Quick note on versions 5.1 LTS bug fixes for 2 years, security fixes for 3 years Non LTS: bug fixes for 6 months, security fixes for 1 year 5.1 is currently the only LTS version
  • 28. Which version should you use? 5.2 for my own projects 5.1 for client projects
  • 29. Homestead “Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged Vagrant "box" that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, HHVM, a web server, and any other server software on your local machine. No more worrying about messing up your operating system! Vagrant boxes are completely disposable. If something goes wrong, you can destroy and re- create the box in minutes!”
  • 30. What’s in the box: • Ubuntu 14.04 • PHP 7.0 • HHVM • Nginx • MySQL • Postgres • Redis • NodeJS • Bower • Grunt • Gulp • Beanstalkd • Memcached • Laravel Envoy Fabric + HipChat Extension + more!
  • 31. Getting Homestead Install the box: vagrant box add laravel/homestead
  • 32. Getting Homestead If you have PHP installed locally: composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0" Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the homestead executable is found when you run the homestead command in your terminal.
  • 33. Homestead 2.x & 3.x Significant change over previous 1.x versions Uses homestead from your home folder Less vagrant stuff in your projects (if you don’t like that sort of thing) 3.x will give you PHP 7
  • 34. How I use Homestead
  • 37. Database, Migrations, Seeding database/ factories/ - Default Model Attributes migrations/ - Version control for your DB Schema seeds/ - Sample / Test Data for your DB
  • 42. Time to do stuff!
  • 44. Basic Quick Start https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/quickstart If you already have Vagrant, Run: `./vendor/bin/homestead make` `vagrant up` Run the migration: `php artisan migrate`
  • 48. Exercise 1 Hints Add / edit migration to create users table Add / edit User model Add routes (just like task) Add / edit User Views You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 49. Exercise 1 Solution To see a possible solution checkout the branch “exercise-1” git checkout exercise-1
  • 50. Exercise 2 Assign users to tasks as you create them When listing tasks, show the user they have assigned them When listing users, show how many tasks they have assigned them You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 51. Exercise 2 Hints Add / edit migration to create users table Add / edit User model Add routes (just like task) Add / edit User Views You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 52. Exercise 2 Solution To see a possible solution checkout the branch “exercise-2” git checkout exercise-2
  • 53. Exercise 3 Write Tests for User Functionality Write Tests for Task Functionality
  • 54. Exercise 3 Hints Use Model Factories to seed test data Make sure the task is saved to the DB Make sure the user is saved to the DB Ensure the user delete request succeeds Ensure the task delete request succeeds Ensure the index page loads and contains data You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 55. Exercise 3 Solution To see a possible solution checkout the branch “exercise-3” git checkout exercise-3
  • 58. Exercise 4 Move “Create” Forms to own views Move “Current” html to own views Move Create/Delete User Functionality to Controller method Move Create/Delete Task Functionality to Controller method
  • 59. Exercise 4 Hints Use `php artisan make:controller` to scaffold Utilize your tests to make sure you didn’t break anything: `./vendor/bin/phpunit` You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 60. Using Laravel Facades Using Static Methods: `User::all()` `User::find(1); `User::where(‘user_id`, 1)->get() `User::where(‘email’, ‘[email protected]’)->get();
  • 61. Using Dependency Injection Using Injected Object `$this->user->all()` `$this->user->find(1); `$this->user->where(‘user_id`, 1)->get() `$this->user->where(‘email’, ‘[email protected]’)->get();
  • 62. Exercise 5 Update your controllers to inject your models instead of using static methods (Facades)
  • 63. Exercise 5 Hints Make sure you “use AppModelName” Utilize your tests to make sure you didn’t break anything: `./vendor/bin/phpunit` You can safely disregard any authentication related to users
  • 64. Exercise 6 Implement index view for tasks Implement index view for users Implement edit functionality for tasks Add tests for your new routes & methods
  • 66. Go forth and develop!
