laravelbreezeblog

Simple Multi-user blog based off Laravel Breeze. The package includes:

• Multiple user post support
• Full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) support for user posts.
• Automated population of the posts table through the Google News Feed RSS, via the SimplePie wrapper by Will Vincent
• Front end that shows a random ordering of the posts and view posts.
• Email verification if enabled.

Installation

You should first have the lastest version of composer and npm installed, along with your favorite database server. I used MySQL for development, but the code should run without issue on other database engines.

• First clone the project to your computer. Switch to your clone directory.
• Run composer install.
• Run npm install.
• Create a new .env file cp .env.example .env.
• Create a new SQL database and fill out the required database parameters in .env
• Run php artisan key:generate.
• Run php artisan migrate.
• Finally run php artisan serve to start up a local development server.
• Optionally you can setup the laravel smtp config to enable email verification. Out of the box, mailhog is the default.

Discussion

Breeze uses Tailwind.css, Blade templates, and Laravel 8 Authentication with very little Javascript. This code would be a good starting point if you want to add a minimal blog to an existing website.
