Prepare your application for deployment as follows.
- The deployment process should be easy and simple by declaring the folder as public. Create an .htaccess file to the root of the application folder by using the following codes:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(. *)$ public/$1 [L]
- Make your application use
HTTPS
by putting the following code to your web.php routes in the routes/web.php file:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;

Create a project on My
- Log into your account, then click to click the Add Service option on the Dashboard. This will allow you to add a brand new application.
- If you're new to the app, connect directly to either the account you have on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account, and grant certain permissions.
- Please fill out the application form and include the
app_key
. You can find its corresponding value in your .env file.
- Select your build resources and decide if you wish to build your app using the route or build the application by using Dockerfile. This is a demonstration of how to let My build the app based on your repository.
- Specify the different processes you want to run when you deploy. The process can be left blank for now.
- Finally, you must add the payment method.
After confirming your payment method, My launches your app and gives you a unique URL, which is shown in the following:
You can visit the link, but you get a 500 Server Error
page due to the fact that the app requires a database connection to run. The following section resolves the issue.
Create a Database using My
- For creating a database go to your My dashboard and click "Add Service".
- Choose your database and fill in the form by entering your preferred database's name and username. Type, click, and password. Include a location for your data center and a database size suitable for your needs.
- The next page displays the price summary as well as your payment method. Click Create Database to finish the process.
- When you have created the database, My redirects you to the list of services. Click the database you made and then go into External Connections. The credentials for the database must be copied.
- Reload the application's deployment page and click Settings. Then, scroll down to Environment Variables and then click "Add Environment Variables". Add the database credentials as environmental variables in the following order:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=External hostname
DB_PORT=External port Database name
DB_USERNAME=Username
DB_PASSWORD=Password
The list of variables for the application will now appear as follows:
- Go to your application's Deployments page and manually deploy your application using "Deploy Now"to apply these changes. So far, you've created a database and connected the database to your app.
- To create your database tables within the My database, first create tables in your My database, connect the database to your local app by updating the.env file. .env file with identical credentials as you have entered within your application at My and execute the following command:
php artisan migrate
This command runs all the file migrations. It will create all the tables in your My application.
You can now test your application with the URL you were assigned following the initial launch.
Summary
Laravel is a comprehensive framework that allows you to build powerful and flexible web applications that demand CRUD functionality. With its intuitive syntax and powerful capabilities, Laravel makes it easy to build CRUD operations within your app.
The article outlined the basic notions of CRUD operations as well as how to implement them using the built-in features of Laravel. The article also explained:
- How do you create an account inside My and link it with your application
- How to use Laravel's migrations to define the database table Create the controller file, and perform its functions
- Define a model and link it with the controller. The routing engine in Laravel generates Blade files to create templates and webpages and to deploy and test applications using My
