Hello Artisan, Today we will make form validation strategies to make input data validated.
Our final output looks like
Create a Laravel Project first, run this command
composer create-project –prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Make database Connection, create a database in the Mysql database after that go to the .env file and set the values,
Make Database Connection
and add the code to .env file
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_blog
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=Create your custom route,
routes/web.php
Route::get('user/create',[UserController::class,'create']);
Route::post('user/store',[UserController::class,'store']);After creating a brand new laravel project you have already the User model and UserController in your project directory. If not then add
Create Model
Models/User.php
<?phpnamespace App\Models;use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable; /**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
]; /**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
]; /**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
Create Controller
app/Http/controllers/UserController.php
<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers;use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;class UserController extends Controller
{ public function create(){
return view('user.create_user');
}
public function store(Request $request){// dd($request); $validatedData = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'password' => 'required|min:5',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users'
], [
'name.required' => 'User Name is required',
'password.required' => 'User Password is required'
]); $validatedData['password'] = bcrypt($validatedData['password']);
$user = User::create($validatedData); return back()->with('success', 'User created successfully.'); }
}
Also you have migration file, if not then add
database/migrations/2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table.php
<?phpuse Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
} /**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
}
Run Migrate command to Create table to the database
php artisan migrate
Create your view
resources/views/user_create.blade.php
