Laravel is a PHP web application framework boasting an elegant and expressive syntax. With Laravel, you can easily spin up a new website while also having the features and scalability to handle advanced and large-scale applications.
Laravel is being used by companies and people for building everything right from hobby projects to fortune 500 companies. It was released in 2011 and since then it has seen enormous growth.
It concentrates on the end-user and thus its focus is on clarity, simplicity, and getting the work done. There are many Laravel development company in USA and India that offers you comprehensive Laravel development services in a cost-effective way.
Laravel is described as a framework for “web artisans”. It is a PHP 5.3 framework for web development. Web development was considered a very tedious task and was associated with too many spaghetti codes. It is a clean and classy framework that enables the development of wonderful web applications using simple and expressive syntax.
The three key features of Laravel are:
- Simple
2. Elegant
3. Well documented - What makes Laravel different?
Laravel performs a variety of functions that make it different from other packs.
1. Bundles:
Bundles are to Laravel as pear is to PHP. These are add on packages that can be downloaded and plugged into the Laravel installation. It comes with a command-line tool called Artisan, which makes it incredibly easy to install bundles. Additional bundles keep being added to the Laravel Bundle repository.
2. Eloquent ORM
It is the most advanced PHP ActiveRecord implementation level available. It makes working on database simple and easy. Also, It involves defining model relationships to retrieve data from the record based on its relationship with other records.
3. Migrations:
It makes it easy to keep the database schema up-to-date as per the changes of other team members It is of great importance for projects involving multiple developers. In Laravel, migration is built int the framework and can be executed by Artisan command-line utility.
Here’s an example, taken from the Laravel documentation:
Schema::table('users', function($table)
{
$table->create();
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('username');
$table->string('email');
$table->string('phone')->nullable();
$table->text('about');
$table->timestamps();
});

4. Unit-testing:
Unit-testing makes the development of the project more interesting. Laravel’s own beautifully integrates with PHPUnit, relying on its status as one of the industry’s best PHP unit testing frameworks.
lass MyUnitTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public function somethingShouldBeTrue()
{
$this->assertTrue(true);
}
5. Redis:
It is a key-value database similar to CouchDB MongoDB. It is used by web applications to store non-relational databases. Redis is an open-source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets.
redis' => array(
'default' => array('host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 6379),
'staging' => array('host' => 'redis-db-staging.host', 'port' => 6379),
'production' => array('host' => 'redis-db-production.host', 'port' => 6379),
)
Right off the bat, we can see that Laravel supports multiple Redis configurations, based on your application’s environment. Once you have your Redis configuration in, you can start making calls to Redis, like so:
$redis = Redis::db(); //this gets a Redis object connected to the 'default' configuration
$redis = Redis::db('staging'); //this gets a Redis object connected to the 'staging' configuration
$redis = Redis::db('production'); //this gets a Redis object connected to the 'production' configuration
$redis->set('site', 'Nettuts+');
$site = $redis->get('site');
$sites = $redis->lrange('sites', 0, -1);
