How to use Laravel to develop an online real estate platform

With the popularity of the Internet, the real estate industry has gradually transformed into an online platform. Laravel has become the framework of choice for many developers when developing online real estate platforms. This article will introduce how to use Laravel to develop a simple online real estate platform and provide specific code examples.

1. Installing Laravel

First, we need to install Laravel. It can be installed through Composer, as shown below:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel property-platform

Here we have created a project named property-platform, and the project name can be changed according to needs. After the installation is complete, we need to enter the project directory and start the service:

cd property-platform
php artisan serve

2. Create database

Next, we need to create a database and configure the database in the project connect. Open the .env file and modify the following parts:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=property_platform
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Among them, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD are your own Database information.

Create a database named property_platform:

CREATE DATABASE property_platform;

Next, we need to create a property information table. Create a new migration file in the database/migrations directory:

php artisan make:migration create_properties_table --create=properties

Then open the migration file and add the table structure in the up method:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('properties', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('title');
        $table->text('description');
        $table->string('address');
        $table->integer('price');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

Execute migration command:

php artisan migrate

3. Create model and controller

Next, we need to create the model of real estate information and the corresponding controller. Create a model named Property in the app directory:

php artisan make:model Property

Then create a model named app/Http/Controllers Controller of PropertyController:

php artisan make:controller PropertyController --resource

We used the --resource option to generate the controller, and Laravel will automatically generate RESTful-style routes and corresponding methods. Open the controller file, query all property information in the index method, and return the corresponding view file:

public function index()
{
    $properties = Property::all();
    return view('properties.index', compact('properties'));
}

4. Create view file

Connect Next we need to create a view file to render the page. Create a folder named properties in the resources/views directory, and create a template file named index.blade.php in the folder .

In the template file, we can iterate through the property information and display it on the page:

@foreach($properties as $property)
    <div class="property">
        <h2>{{ $property->title }}</h2>
        <p>{{ $property->description }}</p>
        <p>{{ $property->price }}</p>
        <p>{{ $property->address }}</p>
    </div>
@endforeach

5. Create the form and controller method

Next , we need to create a form and corresponding controller method for adding real estate information. Create a form file named create.blade.php in the resources/views/properties directory:

<form method="POST" action="/properties">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    <div>
        <label for="title">标题：</label>
        <input type="text" name="title" id="title">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="description">描述：</label>
        <textarea name="description" id="description"></textarea>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="address">地址：</label>
        <input type="text" name="address" id="address">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="price">价格：</label>
        <input type="text" name="price" id="price">
    </div>
    <div>
        <button type="submit">添加</button>
    </div>
</form>

Add in PropertyController create and store methods:

public function create()
{
    return view('properties.create');
}

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $property = new Property;
    $property->title = $request->title;
    $property->description = $request->description;
    $property->address = $request->address;
    $property->price = $request->price;
    $property->save();

    return redirect('/properties');
}

create method renders the form page, store method receives the form data and The data is saved to the database.

6. Set up routing

Next, we need to set up routing to bind the URL to the controller method. Open the routes/web.php file and add the following routes:

Route::get('/properties', 'PropertyController@index');
Route::get('/properties/create', 'PropertyController@create');
Route::post('/properties', 'PropertyController@store');

7. Run the application

Now, we have completed a simple online property Platform application. In the project directory, execute the following command to start the service:

php artisan serve

Visit http://localhost:8000/properties in the browser to view all property information. Click the "Add Property" button to jump to the page for adding property information. After filling in the information, click the "Add" button to save the property information to the database.
