Why Laravel is the Popular PHP Framework for 2016?

Laravel follows the model view controller (MVC) architectural pattern for developing web applications. A model view controller architecture divides overall system into three interconnected parts model, view and controller. You can read the basic features of Laravel in our previous blog titled ‘Laravel Framework – How Significantly Does it Contribute Into PHP?

Some latest features of Laravel are listed below:

Authentication: There is a configuration file for authentication,  located at config/auth.php and contains all the authentication credentials for checking the authentication services.

Routing system: Another advantage of using Laravel is its routing system. It can be triggered by the applications with better control and flexibility. A separate directory is created for matching Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

Database Migrations: You could do modifications into the application’s schema with database migrations. Migrations are the version control for your database, these migrations are paired with Laravel’s schema builder for database building and provide rapid way for generating your application’s schema.

Eloquent ORM: Eloquent is the powerful object relational mapper in Laravel. It provides an amazing ActiveRecord implementation to work with your database. Each table of your database has a corresponding model that is used to interact with the table. By using these models, you could insert new records as well query for data into your tables.

Homestead: Laravel homestead is an official Vagrant box that provides an amazing environment without installing PHP, HHVM, a web server. If anything goes wrong, you could destroy this vagrant box completely and recreate it.

Query builder: Query builder provides an fluent interface for the creation of database queries. Query builder uses PDO parameter binding to protect your application against SQL injection and most widely used to perform database operations in your application.
