Eloquent VS Laravel

I'm not going to pretend that my improvements will land in the official Laravel code any time soon, or ever. So I am going to use the illuminate/database repository. Because it is a sub module of the laravel/framework this has a few problems. The biggest problem is that there are no tests.

Eloquent (docs for query builder and ORM) or Doctrine (docs for (ddbal query builder) and ORM - note, these are separate libraries, but the ORM includes dbal).

You can use the database component: https://github.com/illuminate/database

A similar example: in Laravel's codebase, every line in a doc block is 3 characters shorter than the line above it.

Example: https://github.com/illuminate/database/blob/master/Eloquent/...

In this case, getting started might be rough unless you know Laravel well, because there's not even a readme there (in contrast to e.g. https://github.com/illuminate/database#illuminate-database which has a clear guide how to use it)

We learned this lesson the hard way. Our initial Laravel and Next.js applications worked beautifully for a small team, but as we added more software developers, merge conflicts and build times became productivity killers. We had to refactor both our code architecture and our development processes.

You may have used Laravel (personally, I’ve used it a lot!). I love its developer-friendly experience and straightforward architecture. However, for the Go community, something similar was missing. Enter Goravel—a framework that makes life easier for PHP developers like me who want to work with Go.

Laravel is a PHP web framework used by developers around the world. In March 2024, they launched Laravel Cloud with a full lineup of updates. All dropped at once.

Laravel is a full-stack PHP framework that can be integrated with powerful front-end frameworks such as React or Vue.js. With Laravel, you’ll be creating websites and apps that are scalable and capable of growth.

If you're planning to convert a backend server to an AI agent using function calling, avoid languages and frameworks that require developers to manually write JSON schemas, such as PHP Laravel and Java Spring RestDocs.

Using a full-stack framework with batteries-included, such as Wasp for JavaScript (React, Node.js, Prisma) or Laravel for PHP, takes the complexity out of piecing the different parts of the stack together. Since these frameworks are opinionated, they've chosen a set of tools that work well together, and the have the added benefit of doing a lot of work under-the-hood. In the end, the AI can focus on just the business logic of the app.

Laravel installed (version 8+ recommended)

I have been learning Laravel. If you read this article of mine you will recall I said I wouldn't reach for Laravel because I already use TYPO3. I had to walk back that statement when I realised while I have TYPO3, it is better suited to more involved projects.
