Contents

Laravel is a PHP framework that handles the parts every web app needs: routing, database access, authentication, and validation. You spend your time on what makes your app different.

What comes built in

  • A router that maps URLs to code
  • Eloquent, a readable way to work with the database
  • Blade, a template engine for your pages

When to choose it

Laravel shines for apps with lots of forms and data: admin panels, point of sale systems, booking systems, and online stores.
