introduction

• a few of our friends are thinking of making a community based on learning, discussing and sharing materials and learned wisdom
• us as the initiators of this community can not be complacent
• thus leading to this
• us starting a new journey

problems

• of course no one will remember but today there was problems with wifi and electricity
• i could not perform at the level that I wanted to perform in
• so I could only cover a very very small part of the content which is blade and backend connection

learnings

• best practice for passing data from controller to the view is to use compact

return view('page.home', compact('content'));

• when creating a model, always use the following command
  • php artisan make:model Post -a
  • This creates the following files
    • Post model
    • PostController
    • StorePostRequest
    • UpdatePostRequest
    • PostFactory
    • PostSeeder
    • PostPolicy
    • YYYY_MM_DD_HHMMSS_create_post_table migration
      • YYYY = current year
      • MM = current month
      • DD = current date
      • HH = current hour
      • MM = current minute
      • SS = current second
      • So if a model for Post using -a was created at
        • 2026/06/06 11:32:43 am
        • it would be 2026_06_06_113243_create_posts_table.php
• creating controller like this makes a resource controller
  • index = get all item
  • create = show form to create new item
  • store = create new item
  • show = show an item
  • edit = show form to edit an item
  • update = update an item
  • destroy = delete an item
• To pass data from controller to blade view, we use the compact parameter of view function
  • return view('page.home', compact('variable'));
  • the 'page.home' means the resources/views/page/home.blade.php file
  • the 'variable' means the $variable present in the same scope as the return statement
• To show the passed data in the blade view, we just cover it in curly braces
  • the {{ $variable }} renders the passed content as string
  • the {!! $variable !!} renders the passed content as raw value (i.e, html, css, js, etc)
    • NOTE: using {!! !!} can lead to XSS infiltration
