PHP has brought a revolution in the field of web development, as its lightweight and functional codes provide the developer with another level of web development environment and tools. From the birth of PHP, there has also been the introduction of many powerful PHP frameworks, like CodeIgniter, Laravel, Symfony, Zend, CakePHP, Yii etc. But, when we compare those with one another, Laravel wins the game, as the other frameworks lack at some of the functionalities, that are the main features of Laravel.
Effective Authorization Technique: Laravel uses a configured authorization technique that only allows the authorized users to access the resources. It seamlessly organizes the logic for the authentication process, preventing the unauthorised people to reach the resources and misuse them.
Object-Oriented Libraries: The major reason behind the popularity of Laravel is that it has got a huge Object Oriented Libraries, that most of the PHP frameworks do not support. The library reduces a lot of time and hard work as these are easy to implement and enhances the overall web development process with the various features. These pre-installed libraries include features like password reset, checking active users, Bcrypt hashing, and encryption, etc.
Artisan: Laravel always need a command line to handle various programming tasks. For that, Laravel has got its own command line called as the Artisan. The built-in command line Artisan helps the developers to manage the major repetitive and complex programming tasks that they have to perform manually every single time, in the other command lines. Artisan can also be used to create a database or a skeleton code, etc.
MVC Architecture Support: Laravel provides the support for the MVC architecture. The MVC architecture provides a high level of clarity between the logic and the presentation. The use of MVC not only add more features to the product but also enhances the performance of the website or the web apps. With the help of the MVC model, one can change the layout of the product, without contacting the developer.
Security: While developing a web product, data security is always the biggest concern. Laravel uses the “Bcrypt Hashing Algorithm”, and generate an encrypted representation of the password. Hence, the passwords are never saved in the database, in the form of a plain text; reducing the cases of hacking and data stealing. Also, the use of prepared SQL statements completely diminishes the possibility of injection attacks.
Database Migration: The database of a web product plays a key role in the success of the product. The database requires proper maintenance and regular updates, to keep the product work efficiently. The primary task for the developers, besides maintaining the database is the migration of the database. Through the Laravel’s database migrations, the process of migrating the changes becomes easier. Till the time the user keep all of the database work in migrations and seeds, the user can make changes to the database without recreating it again and again.
Templating Engine: Laravel provides lightweight templates, using which the developer can create beautiful layouts. Also, the Blade templating engine helps the developer to easily chop off the extra code and write plain PHP code in the layout template.
Unit Testing: Laravel involve the testing of the code at every frame of development. This helps the developer to go through the code extensively and eliminate the bugs quickly. The unit testing enhances the flexibility with the IoC container, and run the tests with PHPUnit, resulting in lesser bugs and a lesser possibility of breaking of the code, due to the new changes made to it.
Along with the mentioned features, it also supports the integration with mail services, clean documentation, object-relational mapping software, etc. The highly customizable, Laravel framework, helps the developers with easy implementation of the codes and makes them instantly fall in love with it.
