Laravel 5.5 CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) Example from scratch

Posted 7 years ago By Ajay Gupta 555744

In this Laravel tutorial, You will learn the basic CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) functionality in Laravel 5.5.

Laravel is open-source web application framework with easy documentation.

If you are thinking to build an web application from scratch in Laravel then this example will help you out.

This example is basically designed for the beginners.

In this example, you will learn how to insert form data into a database, how can you modify the existing data, in short, you will learn the complete CRUD operation with the database.

Laravel 5.5 Installation

First, I need fresh Laravel 5.5 application to start from scratch.

Run the following command to install the upgraded version of Laravel :

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

With fresh Laravel 5.5 application, You will need to require Laravel Collective package for form builder : Laravel Collective.

Database Connection

To perform CRUD operation, You need to configure the MySQL database.

Once you have installed Laravel application then you should have .env file in the root directory which contains the various settings. So we will put database credentials in the .env file.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=blog
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=xxxx

Create Member Table, Model and Controller

We will work on member table to perform all CRUD operation.

Run following command to have migration file for member table.

php artisan make:migration create_members_table

After this artisan command, You must have new migration file like "2017_09_06_071236_create_members_table.php" in following path database/migrations.

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateMembersTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('members', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('members');
    }
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateMembersTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('members', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('members');
    }
}

Save the migration file with above code and run following command :

php artisan migrate

Now you have members table with id, name, email and timestamps fields.

Ok let's create the model and controller in single command :

php artisan make:model Member -c

After above command, you will get the Member model and MemberController.

app/Member.php

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Member extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email'
    ];
}

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Member extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email'
    ];
}

Resource Route

Laravel provides single resource route instead of creating different different routes for each operation.

routes/web.php

Route::resource('members','MemberController');

MemberController

You will notice that there will be some default method available with Member Controller after running artisan command.

app/Http/Controllers/MemberController.php

Put following code in Member Controller.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Member;
class MemberController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $members = Member::latest()->paginate(10);
        return view('members.index',compact('members'))
            ->with('i', (request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
    }
    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('members.create');
    }
    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        request()->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required',
        ]);
        Member::create($request->all());
        return redirect()->route('members.index')
                        ->with('success','Member created successfully');
    }
    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Member $member)
    {
        return view('members.show',compact('member'));
    }
    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Member $member)
    {
        return view('members.edit',compact('member'));
    }
    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request,Member $member)
    {
        request()->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required',
        ]);
        $member->update($request->all());
        return redirect()->route('members.index')
                        ->with('success','Member updated successfully');
    }
    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        Member::destroy($id);
        return redirect()->route('members.index')
                        ->with('success','Member deleted successfully');
    }
}

Blade View Files

In this step, I will create some view files to add members, list members, edit members with master layouts.

default.blade.php
index.blade.php
form.blade.php
create.blade.php
edit.blade.php
show.blade.php
