What is Laravel? 7 reasons you should choose Laravel

In March 2015, the most popular PHP Framework selection was established, and no surprise when Lavarel took first place, then Symfony2, PHPixie, CodeIgniter, Yii2, and the rest Frameworks.  In Vietnam, there are more than 70% of programmers using Lavarel.

What is Laravel?

Laravel is a free, open-source PHP framework developed by Taylor Otwell with the first version in June 2011. Laravel supports web app development based on MVC modules (Model – View – Controller). 

Laravel is currently released under the MIT license, with the source code hosted at Github.

Even it is created later than competitors, Lavarel has made a big wave and is considered acceptable and used widely recently. 

So why does Laravel always reaches the top of PHP Framework download and used most? Let’s find out right away seven reasons below:

Why do we should use Laravel?

1. Straightforward start

The first reason is that Lavarel can be used very effortlessly for beginners. Even you know a little about PHP, you still can develop a website with five pages in a matter of hours.

2. Open-source

Free, open-source framework Lavarel allows you to build a big and complicated web app quickly and easily.

All you need to do is the PHP installation and a text editor to get started.

3. Supportive communication

If you are stuck with severe bugs, but someone has gone through and guided you, nothing is better.

Laravel also has huge supportive libraries that are more powerful than other Frameworks.

If you report bugs or a security breach in the Framework, the community response will be rapid.

4. MVC monitor

MVC architecture and object-oriented programming still are preserved in Framework Laravel to provide better data and increase productivity.

5. Built on the most efficient frameworks

Since Laravel is created late, it inherits advantages and strengths from other Frameworks when there is a powerful route. A typical example is Laravel, which uses some of Symfony's best

6. Easy database migration

The shifting database is one of Laravel’s primary components. It allows you to maintain an app database architecture without necessarily recreating.

It also allows you to write PHP code to control the database instead of SQL and restore the most recent database changes.

7. Security features completion

Your app will be safe when using Framework Laravel. Laravel’s ORM techniques use PDO, SOL insertion prevention.

Also, Laravel’s CRSF protection prevents tampering from cross-page requests. It is a syntax that automatically escapes any HTML being passed through view parameters to prevent cross-scripting on the web page.

What you need to do here is use the appropriate components of the framework.  

With seven excellent benefits, it will be a loss if you don’t use this Laravel Framework.

However, Laravel Framework also needs some system requirements for a successful installation. The Laravel Homestead virtual machine is currently serving all these requests. If possible, you should use Homestead as your Laravel development environment.

If you can’t use Homestead, you need to ensure the server meets the following requirements:

• PHP >= 7.1.3
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• BCMath PHP Extension
