This project was made with the purpose to study and put in practice more advanced Laravel concepts.
Well, this project is a blog, where a user can create posts and have his own profile with his posts,
every post has a creator that is the user who made the post, and accept an image, a title and a text that explain
the post itself.
A user also can update his profile, with his bio (description), have his own username which can also be changed
and have his image profile, that by default is a pikachu image, who doesn't like pikachu!? right?
The project have a simple authorization layer, that is made by policies, the policies only authorize the post
creator to change or delete a post information, and only the user itself can change his information.
to install the project in your machine follow the steps below
# clone the project
$ git clone [email protected]:thalesmengue/laravelBlog.git
# install the dependencies
$ composer install
# make a copy of the .env file
$ cp .env.example .env
# set the environment variables from your database to the .env file
# generate a new key to the project
$ php artisan key:generate
# run the migrations
$ php artisan migrate
# seed the database with the categories
$ php artisan db:seed --class=CategorySeeder
# set the symbolic link between the storage and the public folder
$ php artisan storage:link
# install the node packages
$ npm install
# build the assets
$ npm run dev
# run the application
$ php artisan serve
The welcome e-mail to a new user is set to be sent on a queue, so you need to configure the
mail variables on the.env file to not have any problems with the e-mail sending. Besides this, you need
to configure the "queue_connection" that on laravel by default is sync, so you can set the connection that you prefer,
I personally use Redis.
