Create a project first and connect it to the database. And create a model and migration
php artisan make: model Post -m
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->text('content');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
**Now php artisan migrate**
Now we need to create controller.
`php artisan make:controller PostController –resource`
Now add routes::
use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;
Route::resource(‘posts’, PostController::class);
## **Create Blade Views**
Make views in `resources/views/posts`:
– `index.blade.php` → List posts
– `create.blade.php` → Form to create
– `edit.blade.php` → Form to edit
– `show.blade.php` → View details
This is the routes:
Route::get(‘/’, [PostController::class, ‘index’]);
Route::resource(‘posts’, PostController::class);
This is index.blade.php code
Full controller code
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post;
class PostController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*/
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::latest()->get();
return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*/
public function create()
{
return view('posts.create');
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'content' => 'required',
]);
Post::create($request->all());
return redirect()->route('posts.index')
->with('success', 'Post created successfully.');
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*/
public function show(Post $post)
{
return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*/
public function edit(Post $post)
{
return view('posts.edit', compact('post'));
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*/
public function update(Request $request, Post $post)
{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'content' => 'required',
]);
$post->update($request->all());
return redirect()->route('posts.index')
->with('success', 'Post updated successfully.');
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*/
public function destroy(Post $post)
{
$post->delete();
return redirect()->route('posts.index')
->with('success', 'Post deleted successfully.');
}
}
Make sure to update your model as well…
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = ['title', 'content'];
}
