Laravel is a constantly evolving PHP framework; every week we have releases to correct errors and provide the framework with new features; is a framework that has revolutionized the way developers create modern and scalable web applications; Packages like Inertia, Livewire, Sanctum, Brezee among others are very characteristic of Laravel and it is hard for us to imagine what app development in Laravel would be like without them. Over the years, Laravel has built a huge following for its elegant syntax, features, and an active community.

The main objective of this book is to offer a complete introduction and from scratch of how Laravel works, to know from its installation, going through basic elements such as the structure of the framework until getting to build real applications and in this way teach you how to make the most of its potential. Through practical examples and expert advice, the best practices for web development with Laravel will be discussed.

The book begins with an introduction to basic Laravel features, such as the routing system and controller, and how they can be used to build a simple web application. From there, the book moves towards more complex topics, such as user authentication with Breeze, we also have chapters to manage user authorization, create CRUD systems, connect with Vue, authentication via tokens and much more.

The following sections will explore some of the advanced features of Laravel, such as creating Rest APIs, knowing their routes, creating middleware, and much more, such as communicating the Rest API with an app in Vue 3.

In addition, the book also covers topics such as testing different components of a Laravel application and tips for deploying a complete web application. Finally, the book covers some of the tools and techniques for debugging and maintaining a Laravel web application.

 

 

 

Topics of the book

This book has a total of 22 chapters, it is recommended that you read them in the order in which they are arranged and as we explain the components of the framework, go directly to practice, replicate, test and modify the codes that we show in this book.

This is the MOST complete Book on Laravel you will find. We will cover everything, from basic aspects like routes, controllers, views, models, form handling, validations, among others, to more complete aspects like a Rest API with an authentication token (and an app to consume it from Vue),cache management, roles, Gates for permissions, essential packages, and much more.

You can see the Book details at the bottom of this publication, and the best part is that it's an investment for several years, as I will keep the Book updated to new versions and provide greater support through the Academy for free for several years.

I also havefree resources for the Book on the Blog and thecommunity/FREE Book on the Academy website.

If you're looking for a truly complete, practical Laravel 12 Book that can take you from zero to a professional level, let me tell you something from the start: you're in the right place. I've been teaching Laravel for years and updating my Books with every new version, and Laravel 12 has been no exception.
When I say it's complete, I mean it: this Book is equivalent to the book, contains 100% of the content, and I keep it updated for years, at no extra cost for those who already have it.

Along the way, you will create a professional blog, an administrative dashboard, a protected REST API, and finally, a complete SPA in Vue 3. All this with no filler, no unnecessary theory, and with the same methodology I use in my projects.

 

 

About the Book

  • Who is this course for?

    In this course, you will learn from the basics of working with Laravel and its components: PHP, Artisan, using Laravel in conjunction with Node, Vue, and Bootstrap 4 or 5; below, we give you an introduction to what you will see in the course:

    1. People who want to start learning how to use Laravel.
    2. People who already have a basic understanding of Laravel and want to continue learning.
    3. People who want to professionally learn an excellent work tool, being the leader in web development with PHP.

  • Course Requirements

    1. **At least basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and of course PHP**—by this, I mean that you've ventured to at least create a simple application using these technologies together; beyond that, you don't need other knowledge, but any extra knowledge, like in Node or working with another PHP framework, is more than welcome.
    2. Having a PC with Linux, Windows, or macOS.
    3. A desire to learn and succeed!

  • What can you expect from the course, and what can't you?

    This course offers a structured introduction from scratch to creating your applications in Laravel and its related ecosystem. We will cover the main features of Laravel in version 9 (although some material was recorded with previous versions of the framework) with related technologies such as:

    • Bootstrap 5, for creating visual components, responsiveness, and the general layout.
    • Use of plugins for Node and Vue and some integrations with jQuery.
    • Node for installing packages via NPM and offering a better client-side experience.
    • Vue for creating our SPA (Single Page Application) type website with the Rest API in Laravel.

    We will use these related technologies when necessary to advance in the course; however, the objective of the course is not to teach these related technologies such as Bootstrap 5, Vue, or Node with NPM.

    Although we will see an introduction to each of them and will start from the basics, remember that we will not cover every one of their components, as that would be too much; but we will learn more than the foundations of Laravel and how to leverage the entire Laravel ecosystem, ranging from PHP itself with database integration to the Node ecosystem and, of course, Vue.

 

 

 

Why Learn Laravel 12 Today? (and what makes it so powerful)

Laravel continues to be the most used PHP framework in the world, and not by chance. Each version brings improvements that make development more productive, more elegant, and more scalable. Laravel 12 comes with significant changes in routing, migrations, authentication, and development tools.

Productivity and Modern Ecosystem

Laravel combines the best of backend development with modern frontend tools like Vite, Tailwind, Vue 3, Node, and, of Book, an Eloquent ORM that makes working with databases a pleasure.

What's new in Laravel 12 compared to previous versions

There are optimizations in authentication, new conventions in migrations, improvements in routing, Artisan commands, and adjustments that facilitate large projects.
I've worked with versions since Laravel 5, so I always dedicate part of the Book to showing what's new and what's outdated.

Laravel 12 for Getting a Job and Creating Real Projects

Laravel appears in almost all job offers oriented toward backend development with PHP.
Mastering Laravel 12 opens doors for you as a:

  • backend web developer,
  • full-stack developer with Laravel + Vue,
  • API integrator,
  • creator of modern, scalable applications.

Objective

Laravel is a fascinating, immense framework with a somewhat steep learning curve if it's the first framework of this type you'll encounter.

Laravel offers us several schemes to do the same thing: a web application; through an MVC that is not so much MVC anymore due to the diverse paths you can take; and that's why, the purpose of what's written here: so that your path to learning this framework is less steep and easier to follow.

Laravel is a superb framework that you can use to create truly real and scalable applications over time. When you start working with Laravel, you will realize the enormous amounts of components and functions the framework has. What is not officially part of the framework, there's surely a package that allows you to meet that requirement; and what Laravel doesn't allow you to do on the client side, you can use Node (and its huge ecosystem) with any client-side package, to mention a few:

  • Vue
  • React
  • Angular

To also work on the client side; all this, in the same project.

We will see how to create controllers, components, view models, manage the database through migrations, create real applications, Rest APIs, generate test data, among other fascinating aspects of the framework, and even interconnect Laravel projects with Vue in its version 3.

In short, you will have enormous material at your disposal to build true applications.
 

Unique Advantages of this Book (that you won't find in others)

Here I speak from experience:

  • Updated to Laravel 12 and maintained for years
    • I keep my Books UPDATED. If Laravel 13, 14, or 15 comes out tomorrow, this Book will receive the corresponding updates.
  • Free Community Version Included
    • If you don't have money to start, I always make a 100% freeLITE version with essential classes available.
  • Support, Extra Resources, and Continuous Updates
    • On my blog, I publish tools, examples, snippets, videos, and best practices that expand the Book.

Who this Book is for

This Book is aimed at anyone who wants to start developing with Laravel, although it is not recommended for those who have not worked with other PHP frameworks. If that's your case, I advise you to first learn about and practice with similar but simpler frameworks, such as CodeIgniter 4, for which I have many resources that can help you enter this world of PHP frameworks. You will find more information on my website.

Laravel is an advanced framework. Although I do my best to keep the development simple in the book, remember that you can practice with similar frameworks, like CodeIgniter, for which I also have a book and a Book; which is ideal for getting to know a framework and taking the first steps with this type of technology, as Laravel tends to have a steeper learning curve due to having more components and more abstraction in using them.

  • For those who want to learn about the framework and who know other similar PHP frameworks but lack the necessary knowledge to venture into these because they don't know the underlying bases.
  • For those who want to learn something new, learn about a framework that, although it has a lot of documentation, most of it is in English, and as the framework is constantly evolving, it tends to become outdated.
  • For people who want to improve a skill in web development, who want to grow as a developer, and who want to continue escalating their career with superior frameworks; if you identify with at least one of the points mentioned above, this Book is for you.
  • If you are starting from scratch
    • Don't worry. I have had thousands of students who started with no prior framework experience. I thought of them myself when I designed the Book: each module starts gently, with routes, views, and Blade. Similarly, I have training for a simpler framework like CodeIgniter 4 (free and paid) and also a PHP Book (totally Free).
  • If you already know PHP or frameworks like CodeIgniter
    • You'll feel right at home here. In my case, I come from working with CodeIgniter for years and I know exactly where those migrating to Laravel usually get lost. That's why I dedicate several parts to explaining "why Laravel does things this way."
  • If you want to update and master the modern Laravel + Vue stack
    • In this Book, I incorporate Tailwind, Bootstrap, Node, NPM, Vite, Vue 3, and more.
      When I first integrated Laravel with Vue, I realized that almost no one taught that connection step-by-step... so I prepared a complete module dedicated to it.

 

 

 

 

 

Book Curriculum

As you may know if you've already taken my other paid Books, I always create a theme throughout the Book, and the theme for this Book is a Blog; in this way, for the creation of a simple Blog, we will need three modules:

  • A module for thedashboard.
  • Another foruser control.
  • And a final one which is auser-facing SPA website that will consume data through a Rest API in Laravel.

In Laravel, you can do many things, like building all types of web applications. Laravel is an immense, free framework that allows you to create small to large-scale projects. Among the features we will see in the Book are: interacting with databases, using middlewares, spinning up servers, communicating with the database, interconnecting systems, and integrating with other technologies like Vue. Some of the most important features that can be found in Laravel are:

  • A wide set of features for building web applications
  • A routing system for handling HTTP requests
  • A SQL query builder for interacting with databases
  • Support for middlewares to transform and filter HTTP requests
  • A large number of standard libraries and additional packages available
  • Integration with popular front-end tools and libraries

Book Content

In the Book, we will learn about the framework from scratch to many specific details of Laravel; it is a basic to intermediate Book in which we will briefly cover:

Integrating Laravel 12 with Vue 3

 

Laravel is a popular PHP framework that simplifies web application development. As we saw earlier, it has enormous potential and general features.

Vue is a JavaScript library for building interactive user interfaces. It can be used alongside Laravel to build more dynamic web applications.

Both technologies can be worked together, and in this Book, we take the steps to integrate both technologies:

  1. Installing Laravel using Composer.
  2. Installing Vue.js in the Laravel project using NPM.
  3. Configuring Vite with Vue.
  4. Creating Vue.js components and registering them in the Laravel application.
  5. Including the components in Blade templates and using them in the application.
  6. To enable communication between Laravel and Vue.js, you can use HTTP requests using Axios or the Fetch API.
  7. It is also possible to use the integration of Inertia.js and Laravel to create dynamic applications without the need to change the template structure.
