3 min readMay 6, 2020

Step 1: Install Laravel 7

first of all, we need to get fresh Laravel 7 version application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel todoApp

Open your project in vs code
Configure your database (.env file)

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=quickstart
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root@123php artisan make:migration create_tasks_table --create=tasks

Open migration file Put this line inside of migration table

public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('tasks', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

Now Migrate

php artisan migrate

Create a Task Model

php artisan make:model Task

Now define in routes

<?phpuse Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Task;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/Route::get('/', function () {
    $tasks = Task::orderBy('created_at', 'asc')->get();    return view('tasks', [
        'tasks' => $tasks
    ]);
});/**
 * Add A New Task
 */
Route::post('/task', function (Request $request) {
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'name' => 'required|max:255|min:5',
    ]);    if ($validator->fails()) {
        return redirect('/')
            ->withInput()
            ->withErrors($validator);
    }    $task = new Task;
    $task->name = $request->name;
    $task->save();
    return redirect('/');
});/**
 * Delete An Existing Task
 */
Route::delete('/task/{id}', function ($id) {
    Task::findOrFail($id)->delete();
    return redirect('/');
});

Create app.blade.php file inside of views/layouts/app.blade.php

        .fa-btn {

<body id="app-layout">
    <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <!-- Branding Image -->
                <a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ url('/') }}">
                    Real Programmer
                </a>

    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Create a new file tasks.blade.php inside of views folder

@extends('layouts.app')@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-8">

                    <!-- Display Validation Errors -->
                    @include('common.errors')                    <!-- New Task Form -->
                    <form action="{{ url('task')}}" method="POST" class="form-horizontal">
                        {{ csrf_field() }}                        <!-- Task Name -->
