Basic CRUD Operations in Laravel

Objective

Implement basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Laravel.
Understand Laravel’s Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.

Outcome

By the end of this class, students will be able to perform CRUD operations within a Laravel application.

Introduction to Laravel MVC Architecture

Laravel follows the MVC architecture, which helps in organizing and managing the code efficiently. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Model - Represents the data and handles business logic.

2. View - Displays data to the user.

3. Controller - Manages requests and responses, linking models and views.

In Laravel, the MVC architecture simplifies the structure of CRUD operations by using Eloquent (Laravel’s ORM) for the Model, Blade for Views, and Controllers to handle logic.

Setting Up the Laravel Environment

1. Ensure Laravel is Installed
Make sure you have Laravel installed using Composer.

bash

Copy code

composer create-project laravel/laravel crud-app

2. Database Setup
Configure your .env file to connect to your MySQL database:

env

Copy code

DB_DATABASE=crud_app

DB_USERNAME=root

DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword

3. Migration
Use migrations to create a table. For our CRUD example, we’ll create a table called products.

bash

Copy code

php artisan make:migration create_products_table

4. Define the Schema
Open the migration file in database/migrations and add fields:

php

Copy code

public function up()

{

Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->id();

$table->string('name');

$table->text('description');

$table->decimal('price', 8, 2);

$table->timestamps();

});

}

5. Run Migration
To create the table in your database:

bash

Copy code

php artisan migrate

CRUD Operations in Laravel

Now we’ll perform CRUD operations for the products table.

1. Create a Model and Controller

bash

Copy code

php artisan make:model Product -m

php artisan make:controller ProductController --resource

This creates a Product model and a ProductController with all the methods needed for CRUD operations.

2. Define Routes

Add the following routes in routes/web.php:

php

Copy code

use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;

Route::resource('products', ProductController::class);

Implementing CRUD in ProductController

1. Create (Store Data)

In the create() method, show the form for creating a new product:

php

Copy code

public function create()

{

return view('products.create');

}

In the store() method, handle the form submission and store the data:

php

Copy code

public function store(Request $request)

{

$validatedData = $request->validate([

'name' => 'required|max:255',

'description' => 'required',

'price' => 'required|numeric'

]);

Product::create($validatedData);

return redirect()->route('products.index')->with('success', 'Product created successfully.');

}

2. Read (Display Data)

In the index() method, retrieve all products and pass them to a view:

php

Copy code

public function index()

{

$products = Product::all();

return view('products.index', compact('products'));

}

In the show() method, display a single product’s details:

php

Copy code

public function show(Product $product)

{

return view('products.show', compact('product'));

}

3. Update (Edit Data)

In the edit() method, display a form to edit a product:

php

Copy code

public function edit(Product $product)

{

return view('products.edit', compact('product'));

}

In the update() method, handle the update request:

php

Copy code

public function update(Request $request, Product $product)

{

$validatedData = $request->validate([

'name' => 'required|max:255',

'description' => 'required',

'price' => 'required|numeric'

]);

$product->update($validatedData);

return redirect()->route('products.index')->with('success', 'Product updated successfully.');

}

4. Delete (Remove Data)

In the destroy() method, delete a product:

php

Copy code

public function destroy(Product $product)

{

$product->delete();

return redirect()->route('products.index')->with('success', 'Product deleted successfully.');

}

Creating the Blade Views

In the resources/views/products directory, create the following Blade files:

1. index.blade.php - Lists all products.

2. create.blade.php - Form to add a new product.

3. edit.blade.php - Form to edit an existing product.

4. show.blade.php - Displays details of a single product.

Sample Code for Views

1. index.blade.php

html

Copy code

@foreach($products as $product)

<h2>{{ $product->name }}</h2>

<p>{{ $product->description }}</p>

<p>{{ $product->price }}</p>

<form action="{{ route('products.destroy', $product->id) }}" method="POST">

@csrf

@method('DELETE')

<button type="submit">Delete</button>

</form>

@endforeach

2. create.blade.php

html

Copy code

@csrf

<button type="submit">Add Product</button>

</form>

3. edit.blade.php

html

Copy code

<form action="{{ route('products.update', $product->id) }}" method="POST">

@csrf

@method('PUT')

<textarea name="description">{{ $product->description }}</textarea>

<input type="number" name="price" value="{{ $product->price }}">

<button type="submit">Update Product</button>

</form>

4. show.blade.php

html

Copy code

<h2>{{ $product->name }}</h2>

<p>{{ $product->description }}</p>

<p>{{ $product->price }}</p>
