How Does Laravel PHP Work?
Laravel benefits from a design pattern called MVC. The “Model” part of this framework is the shape of the data that the application operates on. It is extremely flexible in terms of its use.

The “Controller” interacts with the model. If an existing user wants to make a new post, the controller then updates the model to retrieve the necessary info. The logic for the application is contained within the controller and can be modified as needed to meet its goal.

All of the application’s HTML components are represented by the “View.” The view is a template that interacts with the model and the controller. It is what is displayed to the user.

Why Use Laravel PHP?

Our team uses the Laravel PHP framework because of its modular structure and overall efficiency. As your application continues to scale, you are easily able to utilize different components to be used as needed. These components are able to be individually altered or replaced without impacting the overall application development efforts. This capability makes it much easier for our developers to maintain, update, and debug sections of code as needed; saving overall time and effort.

Additionally, it comes with helpful built-in features that include everything from routing & middleware to authentication & security capabilities. These features help our senior-level developers build a robust, secure, and high-performing web application for your company. Thanks to Laravel's inherited templating engine, your new application is able to be utilized responsively between both desktop and mobile interfaces.

Tasks can also be scheduled in Laravel with ease. Different additions allow for periodically executed tasks to be implemented as needed. Compared to other frameworks, the built-in ORM implementation is considered one of the best Object-Relational Mapper. You can interact with database objects using expressive syntax.

Because of Laravel’s open-source nature, systems like Google Cloud and Amazon Cloud can be worked with. Due to its MIT License, users have expressive permission to reuse code for any purpose. Even if that code may be part of proprietary software.
