Laravelnote | How to install Laravel8 On Windows 2021

 

laravel8 Installation

 

Getting Started On Windows

Before we create a new Laravel application on your Windows machine, make sure to install Docker Desktop. Next, you should ensure that Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) is installed and enabled. WSL allows you to run Linux binary executables natively on Windows 10. Information on how to install and enable WSL2 can be found within Microsoft's developer environment documentation.

After installing and enabling WSL2, you should ensure that Docker Desktop is configured to use the WSL2 backend.

Next, you are ready to create your first Laravel project. Launch Windows Terminal and begin a new terminal session for your WSL2 Linux operating system. Next, you can use a simple terminal command to create a new Laravel project. For example, to create a new Laravel application in a directory named "example-app", you may run the following command in your terminal:

curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

Of course, you can change "example-app" in this URL to anything you like. The Laravel application's directory will be created within the directory you execute the command from.

After the project has been created, you can navigate to the application directory and start Laravel Sail. Laravel Sail provides a simple command-line interface for interacting with Laravel's default Docker configuration:

cd example-app

./vendor/bin/sail up

The first time you run the Sail up command, Sail's application containers will be built on your machine. This could take several minutes. Don't worry, subsequent attempts to start Sail will be much faster.

Once the application's Docker containers have been started, you can access the application in your web browser at: http://localhost.

To continue learning more about Laravel Sail, review its complete documentation.

Developing Within WSL2

Of course, you will need to be able to modify the Laravel application files that were created within your WSL2 installation. To accomplish this, we recommend using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code editor and their first-party extension for Remote Development.

Once these tools are installed, you may open any Laravel project by executing the code . command from your application's root directory using Windows Terminal.

Composer Security Update (CVE-2021-29472) for leravel #2021

Composer had a security vulnerability reported (CVE-2021-29472) and a new version has been released to address this. Everyone should run  composer self-update  to get v2.0.13 which includes the fix. According to their  announcment : As a precaution after updating Composer we recommend you audit your composer.lock files to ensure they only contain URLs and none which start with -- , e.g. --config and could be considered command line options. Should you find any such URL values despite our belief that this vulnerability was not exploited in the wild, please contact us immediately by email to security@packagist.org. In general we always recommend you review changes you make to your lock files to ensure no untrusted dependencies or external URLs are introduced to your application. Please note that Packagist.org is only a metadata server and package contents are downloaded from a location chosen by the package maintainers. Private Packagist will store copies of mirrored packag...

Laravel8 in Serializes Models trait | laravelnote

This article was originally posted, with additional formatting, on my personal blog at laravel serializes model Background  When dispatching an object onto the queue, behind the scenes Laravel is recursively serializing the object and all of its properties into a string representation that is then written to the queue. There it awaits a queue worker to retrieve it from the queue and unserialize it back into a PHP object (Phew!). Problem When complicated objects are serialized, their string representations can be atrociously long, taking up unnecessary resources both on the queue and application servers. Solution Because of this, Laravel offers a trait called SerializesModels which, when added to an object, finds any properties of type Model or Eloquent\Collection during serialization and replaces them with a plain-old-PHP-object (POPO) known as a ModelIdentifier. These identifier objects represent the original properties Model type and ID, or IDs in the case of an Eloquent\Collecti...
