Open the terminal inside the project and enter the following command below.

 

Syntax:

 

 laravel new invoice_management_system_youtube

 

Now, you need to wait till the project is created successfully.

 

After creating successfully, you have to open the project folder inside a code editor, in my case I used a visual studio code editor. You can use any other code editor all will work fine.

 

 

To be able to install laravel Ui, you need to follow the below steps.

 

Syntax:

 

composer require laravel/ui:^2.4

 

The above command will install laravel UI version 2.4 inside the project and you can find it inside the composer.json file. In your root directory.

 

After installation is completed, now we have to make the scaffolding along with the Authentication.

 

Syntax:

 

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

 

As you see we use Bootstrap as the application scaffold.

 

Now, Run the following command to install NPM

 

Syntax 1: Installing npm

 

npm install

 

After installing the npm,

 

Now, Run the following command to complier the CSS and JavaScript files inside the project.

 

Syntax 2:  Complieling Css and Js Files

   

 npm run dev

 

After the compilation is completed, you are now ready to run your project.

 

Syntax 3:  Run the server and visit the project inside the browser.

 

php artisan serve

 

 

 

Open .env file and configure the follow section as below syntax:

    

    DB_CONNECTION=mysql

    DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

    DB_PORT=3306

    DB_DATABASE=invoice-management-system

    DB_USERNAME=root

    DB_PASSWORD=

 

 

List:

1. Customers Resource

3. InvoiceDetail Resource
4. Products Resource
5. Settings Resource

 

 

    php artisan make:model Customer –all

 

The above command will create all that we need for the customer’s resource, such as Model, Migration, Form-Request, Controller, etc.

 

 

  php artisan make:model Invoice –all

 

The above command will create all that we need for the invoice’s resource, such as Model, Migration, Form-Request, Controller, etc.

   php artisan make:model Setting –all

 

The above command will create all that we need for the setting’s resource, such as Model, Migration, Form-Request, Controller, etc.

 

 

You have to define the route as follows inside your web.php file. Located inside routes/web.php

 

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {

        Route::get('/home',[App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

        Route::get('export/users', [UserController::class, 'export'])->name('export.users');
        
        Route::get('export/products', [ProductController::class, 'export'])->name('export.products');
        
        Route::get('export/customers', [CustomerController::class, 'export'])->name('export.customers');
        
        Route::get('settings', [SettingController::class, 'index'])->name('setting.index');
        
        Route::post('store', [SettingController::class, 'store'])->name('setting.store');
        
         
        
        Route::resource('user', UserController::class);
        
        Route::resource('customers', CustomerController::class);
        
        Route::resource('products', ProductController::class);
        
        Route::resource('invoices', InvoiceController::class);
    
    
    
});

 

After defining the routes, now we have to continue from there.

                  - create.blade.php

                  - edit.blade.php

 Step by Step Project Installation Guide:

 

 

After finishing downloading the project, go to the next step 2.

 

 

After finishing extracting the project zip folder, go to the next step 3.

 

 

Now, in this step, you have to run some commands to recompile the project files and dependencies.

Let’s perform the commands as follows:

 

 

composer install

 After the composer installation is completed, now move to the next step.

 

 

 cp -r .env.example .env

 

if you want you can copy the file manually or by using the above command.

 

 

And configure your database credentials, so that you can able to migrate the database tables to MYSQL.

 

    APP_NAME=Learning_Management_System

    APP_ENV=local

    APP_KEY=

    APP_DEBUG=true

    APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug

    APP_URL="http://localhost"

 

    DB_CONNECTION=mysql

    DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

    DB_PORT=3306

    DB_DATABASE=lms

    DB_USERNAME= root

    DB_PASSWORD=

 

After you’ve set up the environment, you’ll need to establish a database configuration for it. Move to the following step to create the application key.

 

 

php artisan key:generate

 

After you’ve created the application key, you’ll need to move to the following step to create database tables.

 

 

  php artisan migrate

  php artisan db:seed

 

After running this command laravel will populate your database tables with the columns that are present inside the migrations files for each table.

 

 

  php artisan serve

 

The purpose of using PHP artisan serve (PHP built-in server) is just for testing and easy starting your project in a development environment.
