Understanding The Laravel Framework
Laravel is a PHP framework designed to build websites that range from small to large. The Laravel Framework is easy to understand because it follows the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern. This PHP framework is a reliable choice, as it maintains a good performance, and its features and scalability are also very functional.
First created by Taylor Otweel in 2011, Laravel has experienced many developments since then, making it compatible with the latest website technology. Here are some of its features.
1. Inbuilt Libraries
The Laravel Framework provides a number of preinstalled libraries. This in-built library makes Laravel popular, as most frameworks do not provide this function. ‘Authentication’ is one of the libraries provided by Laravel. Authentication can be implemented by Laravel through using CLI, and possesses functions such as User Validation, Password Resets, CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) Protection and much more.
2. Eloquent ORM (Object Relational Mapping)
The Laravel Framework offers the Eloquent ORM feature which is convenient when working with databases. Eloquent Laravel can help you map an object through the use of a database. Laravel also provides comprehensive documentation for all Eloquent functions.
3. Security
When developing web applications, one of the main things to consider is security, which the Laravel Framework is able to handle through several inbuilt features such as the Bcrypt Password Hashing, which generates implemented encrypted passwords. Additionally, Laravel also uses SQL statements in order to avoid an SQL injection.
4. Artisan
The Laravel Framework provides a built-in command line interface (CLI) known as Artisan. Through this, CLI Laravel can be utilized for monotonous programming tasks which require a lot of time through manual implementation.
