Laravel Hackathon Starter - SUSUMU 進

If you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it takes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming language, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might have an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start contributing. Or how about doing something as simple as Sign in with Facebook authentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth 2.0 works.

Even if you are not using this for a hackathon, Laravel Hackathon Starter is sure to save any developer hours or even days of development time and can serve as a learning guide for web developers.

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, queueing, and caching.

Laravel Hackathon Starter is a boilerplate application developed with Laravel 5.2 to keep you ahead in hackathons.

Prerequisites

Note: If you are new to Laravel, I recommend to watch Laravel From Scratch screencast by Jeffery Way that teaches Laravel 5 from scratch. Alternatively, here is another great tutorial for building a project management app for beginners/intermediate developers - How to build a project management app in Laravel 5.

Getting Started

Via Cloning The Repository:

# Get the project
git clone https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-hackathon-starter.git hackathon-starter-pack

# Change directory
cd hackathon-starter-pack

# Copy .env.example to .env
cp .env.example .env

# Generate application secure key (in .env file)
php artisan key:generate

# Create a database (with mysql or postgresql)
# And update .env file with database credentials
# DB_CONNECTION=mysql
# DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
# DB_DATABASE=laravelhackathon
# DB_USERNAME=root
# DB_PASSWORD=root

# Install Composer dependencies
composer install

# Run your migrations
php artisan migrate

php artisan serve

Via The Installer:

First, download the Laravel Hackathon Starter Pack Installer using Composer:

composer global require "unicodeveloper/hackathon-installer"

Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your PATH so the larathon executable can be located by your system.

Once installed, the larathon new command will create a fresh Laravel Hackathon Starter Pack installation in the directory you specify. For instance, larathon new mvp will create a directory named mvp containing a fresh Laravel Hackathon Starter Pack installation with all of it's dependencies already installed. This method of installation is much faster than installing via Composer:

larathon new mvp

Via Composer Create-Project

Alternatively, you may also install Laravel Hackathon Starter Pack by issuing the Composer create-project command in your terminal:

composer create-project --prefer-dist unicodeveloper/laravel-hackathon-starter hotel

This starter pack includes the following APIs. You will need to obtain appropriate credentials like Client ID, zClient secret, API key, or Username & Password by going through each provider and generate new credentials.

Cloudder
Twitter
Twillo
Github
Slack
Socialite Providers
Socialite LinkedIn

FAQ

Why do I get `Token Mismatch Exception` when submitting a form?

You need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been added in the existing codebase as part of the CSRF protection.

{!! csrf_field() !!}

I get a whoops error when I deploy my app, why?

Chances are you haven't generated the app key, so run php artisan key:generate. Chances are you haven't put your credentials in your .env file.

How It Works (mini guides)

This section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation about how a particular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works, or maybe you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides some guidance to you.

How do flash messages work in this project?

Flash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and access it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login attempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you refresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page, that error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. All flash messages are available in your views via laravel sessions.

How do I create a new page?

A more correct way to be to say "How do I create a new route". The main file routes.php contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function associated with it. Sometimes you will see 3 or more arguments to routes. In cases like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle arguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this door prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback function. One such example is a route that requires authentication.

Route::get('/account', 'UserController@getAccount');

It always goes from left to right. A user visits /account page. Then auth middleware checks if you are authenticated:

 Route::get('/account', [
        'uses' => 'AccountController@getAccountPage',
        'as'   => 'account.dashboard',
        'middleware' => ['auth']
]);

If you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your "door" by calling return $next($request); in the auth middleware and if you are authenticated, you will be redirected to Account Management page, otherwise you will be redirected to Login page.

Here is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say we are building a page that lists all books from database.

Step 1. Start by defining a route.

Route::get('/books', 'BookController@getBooks');

Step 2. Create a new model Book.php inside the app directory. You can simply run php artisan make:model Book

namespace App;

class Book
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'isbn',
    ];
}

Step 3. Create a migration file like so: php artisan make:migration create_books_table

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

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

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

Step 4. Create a new controller file called BookController inside the app/Http/Controllers directory. You can simply run php artisan make:controller BookController

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Book;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class BookController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Return all books
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getBooks()
    {
        $books = Book::all();

        return view('books')->withBooks($books);
    }
}

Step 5. Create books.blade.php template.

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('content')
    <div class="main-container">
        @include('layouts.partials.alerts')

        <div class="page-header">
            <h2><i style="color: #f00" class="fa fa-book"></i>All Books</h2>
        </div>

        <ul>
        @foreach ($books as $book)
            <li> {{ $book->name }} </li>
        @endforeach
        </div>
    </div>
@stop

That's it!

Laravel Eloquent Cheatsheet

Eloquent Cheatsheet

Deployment

Once you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a cloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top picks. From my experience, Heroku is the easiest to get started with, deployments and custom domain support on free accounts.

1-Step Deployment with Heroku

- Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/) - In terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials - From *your app* directory run `heroku create` - Create a Procfile in your app root. All this file needs to contain is `web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-nginx public` or `web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 public` if you prefer to use nginx. - Run `heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev ` to add a Postgres database to your heroku app from your terminal - Lastly, do `git push heroku master`. Done! - Run artisan commands on heroku like so `heroku run php artisan migrate`

Note: To install Heroku add-ons your account must be verified.

Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running git push -f openshift master
Note: The first time you run this command, you have to pass -f (force) flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you create a new Node.js app. Passing -f flag will override everything with your Hackathon Starter project repository. Do not run git pull as it will create unnecessary merge conflicts.
And you are done!
