Authentication

You’ll often need to check whether an authenticated user is authorized to perform a specific action. Laravel’s model policies make it a breeze:

Route::get('/profile', ProfileController::class)
    ->middleware('auth')

Once you’ve defined your authorization rules in the generated policy class, you can authorize the user’s request in your controller methods:

public function update(Request $request, Invoice $invoice)
{
    Gate::authorize('update', $invoice);
 
    $invoice->update(/* ... */);
}

Authorization

You’ll often need to check whether an authenticated user is authorized to perform a specific action. Laravel’s model policies make it a breeze:

php artisan make:policy UserPolicy
}

Once you’ve defined your authorization rules in the generated policy class, you can authorize the user’s request in your controller methods:

public function update(Request $request, Invoice $invoice)
{
    Gate::authorize('update', $invoice);
 
    $invoice->update(/* ... */);
}

Eloquent ORM

Scared of databases? Don’t be. Laravel’s Eloquent ORM makes it painless to interact with your application’s data, and models, migrations, and relationships can be quickly scaffolded:

php artisan make:model Invoice --migration

Once you’ve defined your model structure and relationships, you can interact with your database using Eloquent’s powerful, expressive syntax:

// Create a related model...
$user->invoices()->create(['amount' => 100]);
 
// Update a model...
$invoice->update(['amount' => 200]);

Database Migrations

Migrations are like version control for your database, allowing your team to define and share your application’s database schema definition:

public function up(): void
{
    Schema::create('flights', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->uuid()->primary();
        $table->foreignUuid('airline_id')->constrained();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

Validation

Laravel has over 90 powerful, built-in validation rules and, using Laravel Precognition, can provide live validation on your frontend:

public function update(Request $request)
{
    $validated = $request->validate([
        'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
        'password' => Password::required()->min(8)->uncompromised(),
    ]);
 
    $request->user()->update($validated);
}

Notifications & Mail

Use Laravel to quickly send beautifully styled notifications to your users via email, Slack, SMS, in-app, and more:

php artisan make:notification InvoicePaid 

Once you have generated a notification, you can easily send the message to one of your application’s users:

$user->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));

File Storage

Laravel provides a robust filesystem abstraction layer, providing a single, unified API for interacting with local filesystems and cloud based filesystems like Amazon S3:

$path = $request->file('avatar')->store('s3');

Regardless of where your files are stored, interact with them using Laravel’s simple, elegant syntax:

$content = Storage::get('photo.jpg');
 
Storage::put('photo.jpg', $content);

Job Queues

Laravel lets you to offload slow jobs to a background queue, keeping your web requests snappy:

$podcast = Podcast::create(/* ... */);
 
ProcessPodcast::dispatch($podcast)->onQueue('podcasts'); 

You can run as many queue workers as you need to handle your workload:

php artisan queue:work redis --queue=podcasts

For more visibility and control over your queues, Laravel Horizon provides a beautiful dashboard and code-driven configuration for your Laravel-powered Redis queues.

Task Scheduling

Schedule recurring jobs and commands with an expressive syntax and say goodbye to complicated configuration files:

$schedule->job(NotifySubscribers::class)->hourly(); 

Laravel’s scheduler can even handle multiple servers and offers built-in overlap prevention:

$schedule->job(NotifySubscribers::class)
    ->dailyAt('9:00')
    ->onOneServer();
    ->withoutOverlapping();

Testing

Laravel is built for testing. From unit tests to browser tests, you’ll feel more confident in deploying your application:

$user = User::factory()->create();
 
$this->browse(fn (Browser $browser) => $browser
    ->visit('/login')
    ->type('email', $user->email)
    ->type('password', 'password')
    ->press('Login')
    ->assertPathIs('/home')
    ->assertSee("Welcome {$user->name}")
);

Events & WebSockets

Laravel’s events allow you to send and listen for events across your application, and listeners can easily be dispatched to a background queue:

OrderShipped::dispatch($order);

Laravel’s scheduler can even handle multiple servers and offers built-in overlap prevention:

class SendShipmentNotification implements ShouldQueue
{
    public function handle(OrderShipped $event): void
    {
        // ...
    }
}
