Laravel 11 Send Email Via Notification Example

Hi, Guys

In this blog, we will explore how to create and send email notifications in a Laravel 11 application.

Laravel notifications are a robust feature of the Laravel PHP framework, enabling you to send notifications to your users. In this article, we'll focus on sending email notifications in a Laravel 11 application.

Notifications in Laravel are managed using a notification class that extends the `Illuminate\Notifications\Notification` class. Within this class, you can define the content and format of the notification, as well as specify the channels through which it should be sent.

Laravel offers a variety of built-in channels for sending notifications, including `mail` for email notifications, `database` for storing notifications in a database, and `broadcast` for broadcasting notifications over web sockets. Additionally, you can create custom channels to send notifications through other mediums.

In this example, we will create a simple `BirthdayWish` notification to be sent to users on their birthdays. Follow the steps below to implement this example.

Step for Laravel 11 Send Email Via Notification Example

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

Step 2: Create Migration

Step 3: Update Model

Step 4: Create Notification

Step 5: Create Route

Step 6: Create Controller

Run Laravel App Step 1: Install Laravel 11

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create Migration

Here, we will create a new migration to add a new column birthdate to the users table. So let's run the following command:

php artisan make:migration add_birthdate_column

After this command, you will find one file in the following path: "database/migrations". You have to put the below code in your migration file to create the products table.

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
  
return new class extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->date('birthdate')->nullable();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        
    }
};

Now you have to run this migration by the following command:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Update Model

In this step, we will add "birthdate" column in $fillable array.

Make sure you use Notifiable class form Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable.

let's copy below code and paste it.

app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'birthdate'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * Get the attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
            'password' => 'hashed',
        ];
    }
}

Step 4: Create Notification

In this step, we need to create "Notification" by using the Laravel artisan command, so let's run the command below. We will create the BirthdayWish notification class.

php artisan make:notification BirthdayWish

Now you can see a new folder created as "Notifications" in the app folder. You need to make the following changes as shown in the class below.

app/Notifications/BirthdayWish.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Notifications;
  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
  
class BirthdayWish extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;
  
    private $messages;
  
    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     */
    public function __construct($messages)
    {
        $this->messages = $messages;
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function via(object $notifiable): array
    {
        return ['mail'];
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the mail representation of the notification.
     */
    public function toMail(object $notifiable): MailMessage
    {
        return (new MailMessage)
                    ->line($this->messages['hi'])
                    ->line($this->messages['wish'])
                    ->line('Thank you for using our application!');
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the array representation of the notification.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray(object $notifiable): array
    {
        return [
              
        ];
    }
}

Next, you have to add the send mail configuration with mail driver, mail host, mail port, mail username, and mail password so Laravel will use those sender configurations for sending email. You can simply add it as follows:

.env

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=mygoogle@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=rrnnucvnqlbsl
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=mygoogle@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Step 5: Create Route

In this step, we need to create routes for sending notifications to one user. So open your "routes/web.php" file and add the following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
    
Route::get('user-notify', [UserController::class, 'index']);

Step 6: Create Controller

Here, we require the creation of a new controller, UserController, with an index method to send a notification route. So let's put the code below.

app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Notifications\BirthdayWish;
    
class UserController extends Controller
{   
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $user = User::find(1);
  
        $messages["hi"] = "Hey, Happy Birthday {$user->name}";
        $messages["wish"] = "On behalf of the entire company I wish you a very happy birthday and send you my best wishes for much happiness in your life.";
          
        $user->notify(new BirthdayWish($messages));
  
        dd('Done');
    }
}

Run Laravel App:

All the required steps have been done, now you have to type the given below command and hit enter to run the Laravel app:

php artisan serve

Now, Go to your web browser, type the given URL and view the app output:

http://localhost:8000/user-notify

Output: You Email Look Like This

How to Send WhatsApp Messages in Laravel 11?

Hi, Guys

In this blog, I'll demonstrate how to send WhatsApp messages using the Twilio API in a Laravel 11 application.

Twilio is a cloud communications platform that provides a flexible API, allowing developers to integrate voice, messaging, and video capabilities into their applications. Renowned for its simplicity and scalability, Twilio supports multiple programming languages. Its API facilitates seamless incorporation of features like sending SMS, making voice calls, and implementing two-factor authentication. Twilio's services enable businesses to improve customer engagement and communication, offering a powerful solution for creating innovative and interactive applications across various industries.

In this example, we will use third-party package "twilio/sdk" for send whatsapp message to users. Twilio provides a WhatsApp API that allows you to send messages and media to WhatsApp users programmatically. here, we will create simple form with phone number and message box. then we will send WhatsApp message to given number. so, let's follow the following steps to done this example.

Step for Laravel WhatsApp API Integration

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

Step 2: Set up a Twilio Account

Step 3: Install twilio/sdk Package

Step 4: Create Route

Step 5: Create Controller

Step 6: Create Blade File

Run Laravel App

let's follow bellow steps:

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Set up a Twilio Account

First you need to create and add phone number. then you can easily get account SID, Token and Number.

Create Account from here: www.twilio.com.

Next add Twilio Phone Number

Next you can get account SID, Token and Number and add on .env file as like bellow:

.env

TWILIO_SID=your_twilio_account_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_twilio_auth_token
TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER=your_twilio_whatsapp_number

Step 3: Install twilio/sdk Package

In this step, we need to install twilio/sdk composer package to use twilio api. so let's run bellow command:

composer require twilio/sdk

Step 4: Create Route

now we will create one route for calling our example, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\WhatsAppController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('whatsapp', [WhatsAppController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('whatsapp', [WhatsAppController::class, 'store'])->name('whatsapp.post');

Step 5: Create Controller

in this step, we will create WhatsAppController and write send sms logic, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

app/Http/Controllers/WhatsAppController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
use Exception;
  
class WhatsAppController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('whatsapp');
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $twilioSid = env('TWILIO_SID');
        $twilioToken = env('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN');
        $twilioWhatsAppNumber = env('TWILIO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER');
        $recipientNumber = $request->phone;
        $message = $request->message;
  
        try {
            $twilio = new Client($twilioSid, $twilioToken);

            $twilio->messages->create(
                $recipientNumber,
                [
                    "from" => "whatsapp:+". $twilioWhatsAppNumber,
                    "body" => $message,
                ]
            );
  
            return back()->with(['success' => 'WhatsApp message sent successfully!']);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return back()->with(['error' => $e->getMessage()]);
        }
    }
}

Step 6: Create Blade File

Here, we will create "whatsapp.blade.php" file with following code:

resources/views/whatsapp.blade.php

Laravel 11 Like Dislike System Example

Hi, Dev

In this blog, I will guide you through creating a like and dislike system in a Laravel 11 application.

In this example, we will build a like-dislike system for posts without relying on any special packages. We'll start by setting up user accounts using Laravel UI. After that, we'll create a posts table and populate it with some sample posts. We'll then create a page displaying a list of posts, each with a title and description. On this page, we'll include thumbs-up and thumbs-down icons to allow users to like or dislike the posts. We'll use AJAX to manage these like and dislike interactions seamlessly.

You can create your example by following a few steps:

Step for Laravel 11 Create Like Dislike System Example

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

Step 2: Create Posts and Likes Tables

Step 3: Create and Update Models

Step 4: Create Dummy Posts

Step 5: Create Auth using Scaffold

Step 6: Create Routes

Step 7: Create Controller

Step 8: Create and Update Blade Files

Run Laravel App Step 1: Install Laravel 11

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create Posts and Likes Tables

Here, we will create posts and likes table with model. so, let's run the following command:

php artisan make:migration create_posts_table

php artisan make:migration create_likes_table

now, let's update the following migrations:

database/migrations/2024_06_11_035146_create_posts_table.php

<?php

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

return new class extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     */
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

database/migrations/2024_06_13_175106_create_likes_table.php

<?php

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

return new class extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     */
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('likes', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->foreignId('post_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->boolean('like'); // true for like, false for dislike
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

now, Let's run the migration command:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Create and Update Models

Here, we will create Post and Like model using the following command. we also need to update User model here. we will write relationship and some model function for like and dislike.

php artisan make:model Post

php artisan make:model Like

now, update the model file with hasMany() relationship:

app/Models/Post.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

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

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function likes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Like::class)->where('like', true);
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function dislikes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Like::class)->where('like', false);
    }
}

app/Models/Like.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Like extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = ['post_id', 'user_id', 'like'];

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function post()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Post::class);
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }
}

app/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * Get the attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
            'password' => 'hashed',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function likes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Like::class);
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function hasLiked($postId)
    {
        return $this->likes()->where('post_id', $postId)->where('like', true)->exists();
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function hasDisliked($postId)
    {
        return $this->likes()->where('post_id', $postId)->where('like', false)->exists();
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function toggleLikeDislike($postId, $like)
    {
        // Check if the like/dislike already exists
        $existingLike = $this->likes()->where('post_id', $postId)->first();

        if ($existingLike) {
            if ($existingLike->like == $like) {
                $existingLike->delete();

                return [
                    'hasLiked' => false,
                    'hasDisliked' => false
                ];
            } else {
                $existingLike->update(['like' => $like]);
            }
        } else {
            $this->likes()->create([
                'post_id' => $postId,
                'like' => $like,
            ]);
        }

        return [
            'hasLiked' => $this->hasLiked($postId),
            'hasDisliked' => $this->hasDisliked($postId)
        ];
    }
}

Step 4: Create Dummy Posts

In this step, we need to run the migration command to create the seeder to create dummy records in posts table

Let's run the migration command:

php artisan make:seeder CreateDummyPost

noww, we need to update CreateDummyPost seeder.

database/seeders/CreateDummyPost.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Console\Seeds\WithoutModelEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Models\Post;

class CreateDummyPost extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     */
    public function run(): void
    {
        $posts = [
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Product CRUD Tutorial',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Product CRUD Tutorial'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Image Upload Example',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Image Upload Example'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel File Upload Example',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel File Upload Example'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Cron Job Example',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Cron Job Example'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Send Email Example',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Send Email Example'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel CRUD with Image Upload',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel CRUD with Image Upload'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Ajax CRUD with Image Upload',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Ajax CRUD with Image Upload'
            ],
            [
                'title' => 'Laravel Ajax CRUD with Image Upload',
                'body' => 'Step by Step Laravel Ajax CRUD with Image Upload'
            ]
        ];

        foreach ($posts as $key => $value) {
            Post::create([
                'title' => $value['title'],
                'body' => $value['body'],
            ]);
        }
    }
}

now, the run seeder using the following command:

php artisan db:seed --class=CreateDummyPost

Step 5: Create Auth using Scaffold

Now, in this step, we will create an auth scaffold command to generate login, register, and dashboard functionalities. So, run the following commands:

Laravel 11 UI Package:

composer require laravel/ui 

Generate Auth:

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

npm install

npm run build

Step 6: Create Routes

In this step, we will create routes for like unlike system. So we require to create following route in web.php file.

routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('posts', [PostController::class, 'index'])->name('posts.index');
    Route::post('posts/ajax-like-dislike', [PostController::class, 'ajaxLike'])->name('posts.ajax.like.dislike');
});

Step 7: Create Controller

now in PostController, we will add two new method posts() and ajaxLike(). so let's see PostController like as bellow:

app/Http/PostController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::get();
        return view('posts', compact('posts'));
    }


    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function ajaxLike(Request $request)
    {
        $post = Post::find($request->id);
        $response = auth()->user()->toggleLikeDislike($post->id, $request->like);

        return response()->json(['success' => $response]);
    }
}

Step 8: Create and Update Blade Files

In this step, we will update app.blade.php file and create posts.blade file. so, let's update it.

resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php

<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">

Make Database Connection

Before making Mysql Database connection, first we need to create table in your database. For this, you have to run following SQL script.

CREATE TABLE `full_text_searches` (
  `CustomerID` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `CustomerName` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
  `Gender` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `Address` text NOT NULL,
  `City` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
  `PostalCode` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `Country` varchar(100) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

--
-- Dumping data for table `full_text_searches`
--

INSERT INTO `full_text_searches` (`CustomerID`, `CustomerName`, `Gender`, `Address`, `City`, `PostalCode`, `Country`) VALUES

Now we want to make database connection in Laravel 6 framework. For this we have to open .env and in this file we have to define Mysql Database configuration.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=testing
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Create Model

Here we have use Model class for builder database query, so for this we have to create model class, so we have go to command prompt and write following command.

php artisan make:model Full_text_search --migration

app/Models/Full_text_search.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nicolaslopezj\Searchable\SearchableTrait;

class Full_text_search extends Model
{
    use Notifiable;
    use SearchableTrait;

    /**
     * Write code on searchable
     *
     * 
     */
    protected $searchable = [
        'columns' => [
            'full_text_searches.CustomerName'  => 10,
            'full_text_searches.Gender'   => 10,
            'full_text_searches.Address'   => 10,
            'full_text_searches.City'    => 10,
            'full_text_searches.PostalCode'  => 10,
            'full_text_searches.Country'   => 10,
            'full_text_searches.id'    => 10,
        ]
    ];

    /**
     * Write code on fillable
     *
     * 
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'CustomerName', 'Gender', 'Address', 'City', 'PostalCode', 'Country',
    ];
}

Set Controller Method Route

In Laravel 8 application, we need to set the route of all controller method, for this we have to open routes/web.php file and in this file we have define route which you can find below.

routes/web.php

<?php
<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\Full_text_search_Controller;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('full-text-search', [Full_text_search_Controller::class,'index']);
Route::post('full-text-search/action', [Full_text_search_Controller::class,'action'])->name('full-text-search.action');
?>

Create Controller

For handle HTTP request we need to create controller in Laravel 6 application. For create controller here we have use compser command for this we have go to command prompt and run following command.

php artisan make:controller Full_text_search_Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\FullTextSearch;
use DataTables;

class FullTextSearchController extends Controller
{   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('fullText.fullTextSearch');
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function action(Request $request)
    {
      if($request->ajax())
      {
        $data = FullTextSearch::search($request->get('full_text_search_query'))->get();
        return response()->json($data);
      }
    }
}

Create View Blade File

For display output in browser, we need to create blade file in resources/views folder. Here we have create full_text_search.blade.php file in this folder. In this file first we have to create on search box for search data and then after we have create one table. After this we have to write Ajax request, which will send ajax request to action() method of controller and it will received full text search data in json format and convert into HTML table and display on web page using jQuery. This Ajax request will be trigger when we have click on search button. Whole source code of this file you can get below.

resources/views/full_text_search.blade.php

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){

 load_data('');

 function load_data(full_text_search_query = '')
 {
  var _token = $("input[name=_token]").val();
  $.ajax({
   url:"{{ route('full-text-search.action') }}",
   method:"POST",
   data:{full_text_search_query:full_text_search_query, _token:_token},
   dataType:"json",
   success:function(data)
   {
    var output = '';
    if(data.length > 0)
    {
     for(var count = 0; count < data.length; count++)
     {
      output += '<tr>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].CustomerName+'</td>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].Gender+'</td>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].Address+'</td>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].City+'</td>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].PostalCode+'</td>';
      output += '<td>'+data[count].Country+'</td>';
      output += '</tr>';
     }
    }
    else
    {
     output += '<tr>';
     output += '<td colspan="6">No Data Found</td>';
     output += '</tr>';
    }
    $('tbody').html(output);
   }
  });
 }

 $('#search').click(function(){
  var full_text_search_query = $('#full_text_search').val();
  load_data(full_text_search_query);
 });

});
</script>

Run Laravel 8 Application

After all code is ready, lastly we need to start Laravel 6 framework server. For this we have to go command prompt and write following command.

php artisan serve

This command will start server and give you base url of your application. For test above code you have write following url in your browser.

localhost:8000/full-text-search

Laravel Tailwind CSS Datepicker Tutorial

Hi Dev,

Today, I will show you how to use tailwind css datepicker in laravel. We will talk about laravel tailwind css datepicker example. In this article i will give simple datepicker using tailwind css in laravel.

Tailwind CSS is the only framework that I've seen scale on large teams. It’s easy to customize, adapts to any design, and the build size is tiny.

Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Even with the same color palette and sizing scale, it's easy to build the same component with a completely different look in the next project.

Here I will give you full example for laravel tailwind css datepicker example so let;s see the bellow step by step:

Step 1: Install Laravel Project

First, you need to download the laravel fresh setup. Use this command then download laravel project setup :

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

Step 2: Install Tailwind CSS Via NPM

In this step, you need install tailwind css and tailwind css requires Node.js 12.13.0 or higher using bellow command so let's install the tailwind css.

npm install

Install Tailwind and its peer-dependencies using npm:

npm install -D tailwindcss@latest postcss@latest autoprefixer@latest

Create your configuration file

you can generate your tailwind.config.js file using bellow command:

npx tailwindcss init

This will create a minimal tailwind.config.js file at the root of your project or open this file and paste bellow code:

tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
    purge: [
        './resources/**/*.blade.php',
        './resources/**/*.js',
        './resources/**/*.vue',
    ],
    darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
    theme: {
        extend: {},
    },
    variants: {
        extend: {},
    },
    plugins: [],
}

Step 3 : Configure Tailwind with Laravel Mix

In this step, you can configure tailwind with laravel mix and change in your webpack.mix.js, add tailwindcss as a PostCSS plugin:

mix.js("resources/js/app.js", "public/js")
    .postCss("resources/css/app.css", "public/css", [
     require("tailwindcss"),
]);

Step 4 : Include Tailwind in your CSS

Open the ./resources/css/app.css file that Laravel generates for you by default and use the @tailwind directive to include Tailwind's base, components, and utilities styles, replacing the original file contents:

resources/css/app.css

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

Step 5 : Add Route

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;

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

Step 6 : Create Controller

In this step, you can create new controller as HomeController so let's open terminal and bellow artisan command to create controller.

php artisan make:controller HomeController

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function homePage()
    {
        return view('tailwind-datepicker');
    }
}

Step 7 : Create Blade File

In last step, You can create datepicker view as tailwind-datepicker.blade.php So let's create tailwind-datepicker.blade.php file and paste bellow code:

resources/views/tailwind-datepicker.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel Tailwind CSS DatePicker Example</title>

Laravel Create Custom Log File Example

Hi Guys,

Today,I will learn you how to create custom log file in laravel? This article will give you simple example of laravel custom log file example. it's simple example of create custom log file in laravel. Follow bellow tutorial step of how to make custom log file laravel.

Laravel by default provide storage/logs/laravel.log file location where it will display log file. but sometime you may require to create log file with specific task. for example, if you are working with payment task and you need all logs separately log file for payment, so you can easily find out solution.

Here, i will give you very simple example, so let's see how to add custom channel with new log file location.

Laravel Many to Many Eloquent Relationship Tutorial

Hi Dev,

Today, I Will learn you how to create laravel Many to Many eloquent relationship. We will create Many to many relationship in laravel. We will learn you how we can create migration with foreign key schema, retrieve records, insert new records, update records etc. I will show you laravel Many to Many relationship example.

We will create "user" ,"role_user" and "role" table.both table are connected with each other, I will create Many to many relationship with each other by using laravel Eloquent Model, We will first create database migration, then model, retrieve records and then how to create records too. Many to Many Relationship use "belongsToMany()" for relation.

Here, I will give you full example for laravel Many to Many eloquent relationship as bellow.

Step:1 Create Migration

In this step, we will need two tables in our database user ,role_user and role. I will start to create the model and migrations, then we will define the Many to many to Many relationship.To generate models and migrations, run below two commands in your terminal.

php artisan make:model User -m

php artisan make:model RoleUser -m

php artisan make:model Role -m

Above command will generate two models in your app folder called user and role. You will also find two new migrations in your database/migrations folder.

Your newly created models and migration after add table field:

Path:database\migrations\2014_10_12_000000_create_user_table.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateUserTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('user', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

Path:database\migrations\2014_10_12_000000_create_role_table.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

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

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

Path:database\migrations\2014_10_12_000000_create_role_users_table.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateRoleUsersTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('role_users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->integer('user_id');
            $table->integer('role_id');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

Now run the below command to create user and role tables in your database:

php artisan migrate

Step:2 Create Model Relationship

Now in this step, we have user ,role_user and role tables ready, let’s define the Many to manMany relationship in our models. our app\user.php model file and add a new function called roles() which will return a many to Many relationship like below:

app\user.php

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class user extends Model
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public function roles()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class, 'role_users');
    }
}

you can see, in the roles() method we are defining a Many to Many relationship on role model.

Now we will defining Inverse Many To Many Relationship in Laravel.As we have defined the many to Many relationship on Brand model which return the related records of role model, we can define the inverse relationship on the role model.Open your app/role.php model file and add a new method called users() in it which will return the related brand of a role.

app\role.php

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Role extends Model
{
   /**
    * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    Protected $fillable=[
        'name'
    ];
    /**
    * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public function users()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'role_users');
    }
}

you can see, in the users() method we are defining a Many to Many relationship on role model.

app\RoleUser.php

<?php
namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class RoleUser extends Model
{   
    /**
    * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    public $table = 'role_user';
    /**
    * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    protected $fillable = [
        'user_id','role_id'
    ];
}

Step 3 : Insert Records

Let’s in this step add data to user and role from controller:

app\Http\Controllers\user.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use App\Role;

class userController extends Controller
{
    public function createRecored()
    {      
       //create recored in user table
       $user = User::find(2);   
       $roleIds = [1, 2];
       $user->roles()->attach($roleIds);

       $user = User::find(3);   
       $roleIds = [1, 2];
       $user->roles()->sync($roleIds);

       //create recored in role table

       $role = Role::find(1);   
       $userIds = [10, 11];
       $role->users()->attach($userIds);

       $role = Role::find(2);   
       $userIds = [10, 11];
       $role->users()->sync($userIds);
    }
}

Step 4 : Retrieve Records

Now in this step retrieve records model

app\Http\Controllers\user.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use App\Role;

class userController extends Controller
{
    public function retrieveRecords()
    {   
        //Retrieve recoed in user table
        $user = User::find(1);    
        dd($user->roles);
        
        //Retrieve recoed in role table
        $role = Role::find(1);  
        dd($role->users);
    }
}
