A Simple Blogging System built with Laravel, implementing CRUD (Create, Read,

Update, Delete) operations for managing blog posts.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• PHP (>= 8.0)


• Composer
• Laravel (Latest version)
• MySQL or SQLite for database

Step 1: Install Laravel and Set Up Project


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

Step 2: Set Up Database


Edit .env file:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=blog_system
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword

Then run:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Create Model, Migration, and Controller


Generate the Post model and migration:

php artisan make:model Post -mcr

Now, edit the generated migration file


(database/migrations/xxxx_xx_xx_xxxxxx_create_posts_table.php):

public function up() {


Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title')->unique();
$table->text('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Run migrations:

php artisan migrate

Step 4: Define Routes


Edit routes/web.php:

use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

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


Route::resource('posts', PostController::class);

Step 5: Implement PostController


Edit app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

class PostController extends Controller


{
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::latest()->get();
return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
}

public function create()


{
return view('posts.create');
}

public function store(Request $request)


{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required|min:3|unique:posts',
'description' => 'required|min:10',
]);

Post::create($request->all());
return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success', 'Post
created successfully.');
}

public function show(Post $post)


{
return view('posts.show', compact('post'));
}

public function edit(Post $post)


{
return view('posts.edit', compact('post'));
}

public function update(Request $request, Post $post)


{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required|min:3|unique:posts,title,' . $post->id,
'description' => 'required|min:10',
]);

$post->update($request->all());
return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success', 'Post
updated successfully.');
}

public function destroy(Post $post)


{
$post->delete();
return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success', 'Post
deleted successfully.');
}
}

Step 6: Create Views


Inside resources/views/posts/, create the following Blade files:

1. Layout (layout.blade.php)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Simple Blog</title>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.c
ss">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-4">
@yield('content')
</div>
</body>
</html>

2. List Posts (index.blade.php)


@extends('layout')

@section('content')
<h2>Blog Posts</h2>
<a href="{{ route('posts.create') }}" class="btn btn-primary mb-3">Create
Post</a>

@if(session('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success">{{ session('success') }}</div>
@endif

<table class="table">
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
@foreach ($posts as $post)
<tr>
<td>{{ $post->title }}</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ route('posts.show', $post) }}" class="btn btn-info
btn-sm">View</a>
<a href="{{ route('posts.edit', $post) }}" class="btn btn-
warning btn-sm">Edit</a>
<form action="{{ route('posts.destroy', $post) }}"
method="POST" style="display:inline;">
@csrf @method('DELETE')
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger btn-
sm">Delete</button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</table>
@endsection

3. Create Post (create.blade.php)


@extends('layout')

@section('content')
<h2>Create Post</h2>

@if ($errors->any())
<div class="alert alert-danger">
<ul>
@foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
@endif

<form action="{{ route('posts.store') }}" method="POST">


@csrf
<div class="mb-3">
<label>Title:</label>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" required>
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label>Description:</label>
<textarea name="description" class="form-control"
required></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
</form>
@endsection
4. Edit Post (edit.blade.php)
@extends('layout')

@section('content')
<h2>Edit Post</h2>

<form action="{{ route('posts.update', $post) }}" method="POST">


@csrf @method('PUT')
<div class="mb-3">
<label>Title:</label>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" value="{{
$post->title }}" required>
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label>Description:</label>
<textarea name="description" class="form-control" required>{{
$post->description }}</textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Update</button>
</form>
@endsection

5. Show Post (show.blade.php)


@extends('layout')

@section('content')
<h2>{{ $post->title }}</h2>
<p>{{ $post->description }}</p>
<a href="{{ route('posts.index') }}" class="btn btn-secondary">Back</a>
@endsection

Step 7: Run the Application


php artisan serve

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser.
