Developers around the world prefer Laravel for its intuitive nature, simplicity, extensibility, and strong community support. The blade templating engine in Laravel is a valuable tool for front-end developers in building things quickly and effectively. Moreover, Laravel is utilized for managing product catalogs, simplifying the process of adding, updating, and deleting products as well as publishing to e-commerce platforms like Shopify.

  3. It is recommended to start with smaller projects when learning Laravel, as this allows developers to become familiar with the framework's features without feeling overwhelmed. This approach promotes gradual growth and improvement.

These recommendations emphasize the importance of acquiring basic knowledge, leveraging available resources, and adopting a gradual approach when diving into Laravel development.

Laravel PHP Framework is free MVC based PHP framework used to develop full fledge websites or just to develop API. Laravel PHP Framework makes it easy for a developer to build a website as it has many complicated built-in features available. Laravel PHP Framework s a framework used to create medium to large-scale websites / APIs. For small-scale websites, it is considered overkill. I started using Laravel PHP Framework back in 2019, and I was astonished by the features it provides. Laravel PHP Framework has a large community to provide support, and there are many packages available that help us to implement complex functionalities. Laravel PHP Framework has the following advantages, easy to learn, MVC Framework, and a large community. If I talk about disadvantages, then I find Laravel PHP Framework slow compared to other frameworks like NodeJs and Django. Another thing is It is quite complicated to integrate the Laravel PHP Framework with front-end frameworks like ReactJs and NextJs for server-side rendering.

I have a couple of internal web applications based on the Laravel PHP Framework. Laravel is free and under active development; it is a great framework for building any kind of web application. It can also get integrated easily with other applications and services. Overall a good base for a web application.

We are a team of 10 people working on Laravel PHP Framework for creating stunning websites according to our client's need. Laravel is an MVC based PHP framework. It is a developer friendly framework and has been designed in such a way that developers don't have to make extra efforts by writing code from scratch. It is intuitive, simple, extensible and an open source framework. Due to its stunning graphical user interface and lightweight, Laravel framework is widely preferred by developers around the globe. Though, it is not that diverse for creating Banking applications but it works best for creating some dynamic websites.

We use Laravel for a variety of custom web applications that we have built for both large and small customers. It gives us the flexibility to handle our customer needs but also gives us a strong structure to make sure we are building things consistently and correctly across our web stack. The blade templating engine is a big help for our front end developers to build things fast and effectively.

We use Laravel PhP framework for our major projects as it provides more security and follows MVC architecture (that is Model View Controller). It has a lot of great and new features. There are few seniors in our organization including me that knows the Laravel PHP framework, along with other frameworks like CakePHP, Yii, and Codeignitor. So, it is easy for us to complete tasks or handle major projects. This allows our team to deliver better services to our client by developing optimized websites.

Laravel is primarily being used as the framework that we build some of our internal applications on when we don't need a full CMS. It allows us to rapidly create services that we can integrate or expand on later with ease. I have also consulted on Laravel implementations and provided support for Laravel applications for external clients.

Laravel PHP Framework is very easy to understand, based on MVC structure. It has very simple and clean routing, and easy to use API based work. It also supports testing unit, which is a very important feature in the world of coding. Laravel has a testing part named DUSK, which is used for creating unit testing code and is easy to use. You can get any help if you're stuck somewhere as it has a large support community-- a lot of developers use Laravel PHP. Products made using Laravel are much better, smoother, and simpler than any other PHP framework.

My team and I are using Laravel as the main framework for our web app/sass app +to service hundreds of thousands of users around the nation. Our web app utilizes lots of UI components which the user interacts with to fire off tons of XHR requests to update items on the backend MYSQL DB. Through the rigorous implementation of monitoring software, we also are able to utilize Laravel to monitor the efficiency of those on our platform and pinpoint pain points for our user experience.

The most difficult task is which framework to use since there are many frameworks for PHP like CodeIgniter, Yii etc. You have to analyse the growth of product then choose one. Laravel PHP Framework is very stable and is easy to learn also. The project my company was working on was gradually needed to move on REST API and this product supports it great. We have developed 3-4 projects using Laravel Framework and it becomes easier as you work on it more. A few points I want to highlight :
  • Quick and functional core that can be enhanced as required
  • Clean and clear code; easy to understand.
  • Supports automated testing from Laravel as Dusk, etc.

Laravel is used by our engineering team for development, testing, running many small and large scale engineering tasks for Iconscout. Laravel makes our developer's life easy by providing a set of libraries, pre-defined architecture, easy and convenient coding style and a strong community, which always there to support in case of any doubts.

Laravel is used by our developers and engineers to build websites and web applications. The framework provides a lot of support and structure around concepts and tasks that are common in the course of building web applications. The community of Laravel developers in the world is huge and because of that, there are a lot of libraries that can be imported into any Laravel application which offloads complex work that is not necessarily directly related to your business. For these reasons, developers are able to work faster and focus more on your problem domain/business objectives than designing, writing, and testing code for supporting parts that aren't directly related.

Laravel makes PHP happy

We chose to code in Laravel for one of our project's backend logic. Our first decision was to code in PHP because we were creating a website, and PHP plays very well with apache and other front end technologies. But rather than creating our own framework from scratch, we decided to look for other better frameworks. After considering many other frameworks, we came across Laravel and immediately fell in love. That product is still being maintained in Laravel and we still stand by our decision to use Laravel.

We used Laravel PHP Framework to manage the product catalog. We used it internally to manage products. We added/updated/deleted products using the tool. It helped us provide a usable interface for our product manager and scientists to review and modify information on these products. We also used it to publish the products to a shopify website for e-commerce.

We use Laravel for a major project that in essence is a CMS platform. This CMS platform allows several kind of users to create and maintain custom websites. We chose Laravel because of all the help that it gives the developer. First of all, you can have a web app running in less than 15 minutes. You gotta start defining your database so you can create migrations already included and supported by Laravel. Did I mention it comes with a console called Artisan with a bunch of commands that automate all the scaffolding so you don't have to spend time writing code but thinking on how to solve the problem? You can even extend Artisan and add your own commands. So you start by the migrations, then you define your models (also with Artisan) then you define your controllers and endpoints (also with Artisan), and then you create your views. Here you have to write code, sorry. So it has great integrations with Composer, it comes by default with Grunt so you can automate a lot of tasks and add your own. It has a lot of support, has a great ORM called Eloquent, supports PHP 7. Do I need to say more?
