Errors
Errors
A project while underway, is borne to have a few errors. Errors and exception handling is already configured for you when you start a new Laravel project. Normally, in a local environment we need to see errors for debugging purposes. We need to hide these errors from users in production environment. This can be achieved with the variable APP_DEBUG
APP_DEBUG set in the environment file .env.env stored at the root of the application.
For local environment the value of APP_DEBUGAPP_DEBUG should be truetrue but for production it needs to be set to falsefalse to hide errors.
Note:
Note: After changing the APP_DEBUGAPP_DEBUG variable, restart the Laravel server.
Logging
Logging
Logging is an important mechanism by which system can log errors that are generated. It is useful to improve the reliability of the system. Laravel supports different logging modes like single, daily, syslog, and errorlog modes. You can set these modes in config/app.phpconfig/app.php file.
'log' => 'daily'
Laravel
Laravel provides various in built tags to handle HTML forms easily and securely. All the major elements of HTML are generated using Laravel. To support this, we need to add HTML package to Laravel using composer.
Example 1
Example 1
Step 1:
Step 1: Execute the following command to proceed with the same. composer require illuminate/html
Step 2:
Laravel
Step 3:
Step 3: Now, we need to add this package to Laravel configuration file which is stored at config/app.php
config/app.php. Open this file and you will see a list of Laravel service providers as shown in the following image. Add HTML service provider as indicated in the outlined box in the following image.
Laravel
Step 4:
Step 4: Add aliases in the same file for HTML and Form. Notice the two lines indicated in the outlined box in the following image and add those two lines.
Laravel
Step 5:
Step 5: Now everything is setup. Let’s see how we can use various HTML elements using Laravel tags. Opening a Form Opening a Form {{ Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')) }} // {{ Form::close() }}
Generating a Label Element Generating a Label Element
echo Form::label('email', 'E-Mail Address');
Generating a Text Input Generating a Text Input
echo Form::text('username');
Specifying a Default Value Specifying a Default Value
echo Form::text('email', '[email protected]');
Generating a Password Input Generating a Password Input
echo Form::password('password');
Generating a File Input Generating a File Input
echo Form::file('image');
Generating a Checkbox Or Radio Input Generating a Checkbox Or Radio Input echo Form::checkbox('name', 'value'); echo Form::radio('name', 'value');
Generating a Checkbox Or Radio Input That Is Checked Generating a Checkbox Or Radio Input That Is Checked
echo Form::checkbox('name', 'value', true); echo Form::radio('name', 'value', true);
Laravel
Generating a Drop-Down List Generating a Drop-Down List
echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'S' => 'Small'));
Generating A Submit Button Generating A Submit Button
echo Form::submit('Click Me!');

Example 2
Step 1:
Step 1: Copy the following code to create a view called resources/views/form.php.resources/views/form.php.
resources/views/form.php resources/views/form.php
<html> <body>
<?php
echo Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar')); echo Form::text('username','Username'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::text('email', '[email protected]'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::password('password'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::checkbox('name', 'value'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::radio('name', 'value'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::file('image'); echo '<br/>';
echo Form::select('size', array('L' => 'Large', 'S' => 'Small'));
echo '<br/>';
echo Form::submit('Click Me!'); echo Form::close();
?> </body>
Laravel
</html>
Step 2:
Step 2: Add the following line in app/Http/routes.phpapp/Http/routes.php to add a route for view form.php
app/Http/routes.php app/Http/routes.php Route::get('/form',function(){ return view('form'); }); Step 3:
Step 3: Visit the following URL to see the form.
http://localhost:8000/form
Step 4:
Laravel
Localization feature of Laravel supports different language to be used in application. You need to store all the strings of different language in a file and these files are stored at resources/views
resources/views directory. You should create a separate directory for each supported language. All the language files should return an array of keyed strings as shown below.
<?php return [
'welcome' => 'Welcome to the application' ];
Example
Example
Step 1:
Step 1: Create 3 files for languages — EnglishEnglish, FrenchFrench, and GermanGerman. Save English file at resources/lang/en/lang.phpresources/lang/en/lang.php
<?php return [
'msg' => 'Laravel Internationalization example.' ];
?>
Step 2:
Step 2: Save French file at resources/lang/fr/lang.php.resources/lang/fr/lang.php. <?php
return [
'msg' => 'Exemple Laravel internationalisation.' ];
?>
Step 3:
Step 3: Save German file at resources/lang/de/lang.php.resources/lang/de/lang.php. <?php
return [
'msg' => 'Laravel Internationalisierung Beispiel.' ];
Laravel
Step 4:
Step 4: Create a controller called LocalizationControllerLocalizationController by executing the following command.
php artisan make:controller LocalizationController --plain
Step 5:
Step 5: After successful execution, you will receive the following output:
Step 6:
Step 6: Copy the following code to file
app/Http/Controllers/LocalizationController.php app/Http/Controllers/LocalizationController.php app/Http/Controllers/LocalizationController.php app/Http/Controllers/LocalizationController.php <?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Http\Requests; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class LocalizationController extends Controller {
Laravel
//set’s application’s locale app()->setLocale($locale);
//Gets the translated message and displays it echo trans('lang.msg');
} }
Step 7:
Step 7: Add a route for LocalizationController in app/Http/routes.phpapp/Http/routes.php file. Notice that we are passing {locale} argument after localization/ which we will use to see output in different language.
app/Http/routes.php app/Http/routes.php
Route::get('localization/{locale}','LocalizationController@index');
Step 8:
Step 8: Now, let us visit the different URLs to see all different languages. Execute the below URL to see output in English language.
http://localhost:8000/localization/en
Step 9:
Step 9: The output will appear as shown in the following image.
Step 10:
Step 10: Execute the below URL to see output in French language. http://localhost:8000/localization/fr
Step 11:
Step 11: The output will appear as shown in the following image.
Step 12:
Laravel
http://localhost:8000/localization/de

Sessions are used to store information about the user across the requests. Laravel provides various drivers like file, cookie, apc, array, Memcached, Redisfile, cookie, apc, array, Memcached, Redis, and database
database to handle session data. By default, file driver is used because it is lightweight. Session can be configured in the file stored at config/session.phpconfig/session.php.
