How to Setup & Connect to Your Database in Laravel | Laravel From Beginners to Real-World Developer
In this tutorial, we're going to setup a database connection in Laravel and explore Artisan's powerful database commands. You'll learn how to configure your MySQL database settings through the .env file, understand the database.php configuration file, and use convenient Artisan commands to create and inspect your database.
I'll walk you through creating a database using Laravel's built-in tools, connecting to your MySQL database through the terminal, and using commands like php artisan db:table to inspect your database schema. This knowledge is essential for any Laravel developer as it forms the foundation for more advanced database operations we'll cover later in the series.
