**Course Title:** Mastering Laravel Framework: Building Scalable Modern Web Applications **Section Title:** Introduction to Laravel and Development Environment **Topic:** Set up a Laravel development environment and create a basic Laravel project with routes and views.(Lab topic) In this lab topic, we will put into practice the concepts learned so far by setting up a Laravel development environment and creating a basic Laravel project with routes and views. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: **Step 1: Installing Laravel** Before creating a new Laravel project, ensure you have the latest version of Composer installed on your system. You can check if Composer is installed by running the following command in your terminal: ```bash composer --version ``` If Composer is not installed, you can download it from the official Composer website: https://getcomposer.org/download/. Follow the installation instructions provided to install Composer. With Composer installed, create a new Laravel project by running the following command: ```bash composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name ``` Replace `project-name` with the desired name for your project. **Step 2: Configuring the Laravel Project** Once the project has been created, navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command: ```bash composer install ``` Next, generate the Laravel project key by running the following command: ```bash php artisan key:generate ``` This command will generate a new key and update the `.env` file with the new key. **Step 3: Creating Routes** In Laravel, routes are defined in the `routes/web.php` file for web routes and `routes/api.php` file for API routes. Open the `routes/web.php` file and add the following code: ```php // routes/web.php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; Route::get('/', function () { return view('welcome'); }); Route::get('/about', function () { return 'This is the about page'; }); Route::get('/contact', function () { return 'This is the contact page'; }); ``` The above code defines three routes: one for the home page, one for the about page, and one for the contact page. **Step 4: Creating Views** In Laravel, views are stored in the `resources/views` directory. Create a new file called `about.blade.php` in the `resources/views` directory and add the following code: ```php <!-- resources/views/about.blade.php --> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>About Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is the about page</h1> </body> </html> ``` Similarly, create a new file called `contact.blade.php` in the `resources/views` directory and add the following code: ```php <!-- resources/views/contact.blade.php --> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Contact Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is the contact page</h1> </body> </html> </html> ``` **Step 5: Starting the Laravel Development Server** To start the Laravel development server, run the following command: ```bash php artisan serve ``` This command will start the Laravel development server, and you can access your application by navigating to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser. **Conclusion** In this lab topic, we have successfully set up a Laravel development environment and created a basic Laravel project with routes and views. This is just a starting point, and there are many more features and concepts to explore in Laravel. **What's Next** In the next topic, we will dive deeper into routing in Laravel, covering both web and API routes. We will learn about route parameters, route naming, and route grouping. **Do you have any questions or need help? Please leave a comment below.**
