Features of Laravel

1. Authentication:  It is a very important part of any web application, to authenticate the user in their system, we need to write so much of the code which consumes a lot of time. But here, Laravel makes it much easier for a developer. The authentication feature was introduced after Laravel 5, where we only need to configure the Model, View, and Controller to use Authentication in our Web Application.

2. Dynamic Template: Laravel provides an innovative template engine called “Blade template“, which allows developers to create a dynamic web page. The blade is a powerful templating engine in a Laravel framework that helps to make Dynamic Template in web Applications.

3. Database Migrations: It is a very useful feature provided by Laravel Framework, Where we can easily share database schema without any extra effort. Migrations are files that contain code to create a database table or make changes in any tables, this files can be used by other team members to make changes in the database by just executing that migration file. It doesn’t have SQL code it just contains PHP code which makes it much easier for any PHP developer to make changes in the Database.

4. MVC Architecture: It divides any application code into 3 parts, which makes code more maintainable and makes modification easier which makes the development process much faster.

5. Unit Testing: Testing is the main part of any application development cycle to check all cases. Laravel provides the feature of Unit Testing, it checks and makes sure that new updates in the code won’t affect another part of the code. It runs several test cases to check that the changes in the code won’t affect another part of the code. A Laravel developer can also write their own test cases.

6. Security: Web Application Security is also considered to be important while the development cycle. But Laravel provides some feature that makes the application more secure. Laravel provides the feature of the “Bcrypt Hashing Algorithm” which generated hashed passwords and stores them in a Database which makes it almost impossible to resolve passwords.

7. Artisan: It is a built-in feature for command-line Artisan. This command-line feature can be very useful to developers. Artisan tool can be used to create skeleton code, database schema, and migration files, and also used to execute those migration files, so it makes it easy to manage a database schema of the system.

To understand Laravel more, we need to learn about MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure.
