​

The framework was created by Taylor Ottwell and was initially released in June 2011. Professional developers around the world choose it because of its features, scalability and stable performance.

Laravel Ecosystem: Not Just a Framework

If you were previously involved only in frontend development, Laravel can be compared to Angular. Just because you get almost everything in the box literally from a line that generates a new project for you (without the front end of the project, of course; however, 2-3 more teams and this in place will change ).

 

Recalling the development of PHP, Laravel provides you with almost everything to build a reliable backend application: PHPUnit for testing, Artisan (a command-line interface for database migration, model building and other settings), an integrated With Homestead Server and Comfortable Linking View Blade Template.

 

Key Laravel Features and Opportunities

 

The MVC PHP Framework is based on the well-known and trusted Symphony components.

Framework code is distinguished from developer code. Each component is easily extensible.

The modules required for the framework are connected as service providers. In Laravel 5.5, it is quite easy to install the package via Сomposer, and it will be available immediately, without writing anything in the code.

Easy routing and validation of incoming parameters.

The code, CSS, JS and HTML-code of pages of a web project are divided into separate directories. Frame Blade uses the template engine, which allows to separate the layout from PHP code.

Work with caching, file storage and various databases.

Migration for the database (you can change the structure of the database and change the role back).

Work queues, task schedulers, consoles, work with SSH.

Advanced functionality of Eloquent ORM provides complete protection from attacks (such as SQL injection), as well as loading data from multiple tables (solving the N + 1 problem) or processing data from the database in chunks.

Laravel Collections, PHP arrays with advanced features that save a lot of time.

Caching routing files, configuration files, and templates that speed up the work of the framework.

Sending notifications in various ways.

Huge opportunities for testing a web project.

WebSockets supports to create true interactive apps.

Multi-language support allows adding any language.
