CRUD Application with Laravel - README

This repository contains a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application built using Laravel. The application manages tasks with just one field: "task_name."

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone [Repo URL](https://github.com/hassanshahzadaheer/crud.git)
   cd crud-app

2. Install project dependencies:

   composer install

3. Create a new database for the application and update the database connection information in the .env file.

4. Run database migrations to create the necessary table:

   php artisan migrate

5. Seed the database with sample data for testing and development purposes:

   php artisan db:seed

Application Structure

• Routes: The application defines routes in routes/web.php for performing CRUD operations on tasks.

• Controllers: The Tasks controller handles all CRUD operations for tasks. It is located in the app/Http/Controllers directory.

• Models: The Task model represents the "tasks" table in the database. It is located in the app/Models directory.

• Views: The Blade views for the application are in the resources/views/tasks directory. The views allow users to create, view, edit, and delete tasks.

Run the Application

Start the development server to run the application:

php artisan serve

Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser to see the list of tasks. From there, you can add new tasks, view task details, edit existing tasks, and delete tasks.

AJAX-based View and Edit Functionality

We have recently added AJAX-based functionality to improve user experience for viewing and editing tasks:

View Task Details

• When you click the "View" button next to a task in the list, a modal will open showing the task details, including the task ID and task name.

Edit Task

• When you click the "Edit" button next to a task in the list, a modal will open with an edit form.
• The form will display the current task name, and you can edit it.
• Upon clicking the "Save" button in the modal, an AJAX request will be sent to update the task name without refreshing the page.

Testing

The repository includes some basic test cases for the TaskController. To run the tests, use the following command:

php artisan test

Additional Information

The application utilizes Laravel's model factories and database seeding to populate the database with sample data. The TaskFactory generates random task names for seeding.
