Commandline - Tinker (Create 3 Users)

• php artisan tinker

• $user = new App\Models\User;

• $user->name = 'Jim Sample';

• $user->email = '[email protected]';

• $user->password = bcrypt('!password');

• $user->save();

• $user = new App\Models\User;

• $user->name = 'Stacey';

• $user->email = '[email protected]';

• $user->password = bcrypt('!password');

• $user->save();

• $user = new App\Models\User;

• $user->email = '[email protected]';

• $user->password = bcrypt('!password');

• $user->save();

• List All Users

• User::all();

php artisan help make:migration - to get help information.

Create a migration table

• php artisan make:migration create_posts_table;

Add a new post to post table.

$post = new App\Models\Post;
$post->title = 'Eloquent is Amazing';
$post->excerpt = 'Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet.';
$post->body = 'Lorem, ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Unde rerum error laborum sed, velit commodi officia ea quo quia nihil nulla reprehenderit quas, corrupti consequuntur similique perferendis facilis vel odit doloribus eaque pariatur! Saepe quis reprehenderit dolores? Quis totam ipsam veritatis iure voluptas eos tempora eaque id, dolore accusamus impedit.';
$post->save();

You could setup before to use Class

• use App\Models\Post;

Mass Assign be careful of this.

Exclude ID

• protected $guarded = ['id'];

Include 'title','excerpt','body'

• protected $fillable = ['title','excerpt','body'];

2-Model.md

Model

Post Model

Fillable is to allow the columns you can fill.

<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable=['title'];
}

Fillable Columns

protected $fillable=['title','exerpt','body'];

Guarded Columns - oppisite of Fillable (seems dangerous to me)

protected $guarded = [];

3-Oracle.md

Oracle for Laravel

Installation of Laravel OCI8 for Oracle.

Run Composer

composer require yajra/laravel-oci8

With Laravel

Open the file config/app.php and then add following service provider.

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Yajra\Oci8\Oci8ServiceProvider::class,
],

Note: This step is (optional) for the publication of configuration files. After completing the step above, use the following command to publish configuration settings:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oracle
