What is Laravel?

Key Features of Laravel:

Laravel uses the Model-View-Controller pattern to separate business logic, presentation, and routing.

Easily define clean and readable routes with closures or controller actions:

Route::get('/home', [HomeController::class, 'index']);

Laravel comes with Blade, a lightweight and powerful templating engine.

<h1>Hello, {{ $name }}</h1>

Interact with the database using expressive, ActiveRecord-like syntax:

$users = User::where('status', 'active')->get();

Built-in features for user login, registration, roles, and permissions.

A command-line tool to speed up development (e.g., migrations, controllers, models):

php artisan make:controller BlogController

Version control for your database, making team collaboration easy:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

Great for building APIs with JSON responses, route resource controllers, and Passport/Sanctum for authentication.

Offload tasks like sending emails, processing images, etc., using queues (Redis, SQS, etc.).

Out-of-the-box protection from common web attacks (CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, etc.).
