Working with the Database

A migration describes a table in PHP, so the whole team gets the same database structure.

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
  $table->id();
  $table->string('title');
  $table->text('body');
  $table->timestamps();
});

Reading and writing

With the table in place, Post::create() saves a row and Post::latest()->get() reads them back, newest first. No SQL needed for everyday work.
