Laravel Starter - PHP User Group (Myanmar)

Laravel Starter
@else
Looks like we haven't added any users, yet!
@endif
Blade is easy to understand and results in much more elegant code. The {{ }} tags output the
results of the expression within them and replace a typical echo command. Other constructions
such as if(), foreach(), and for() are the same, but without PHP tags and with a
preceding @.
Blade doesn't incur a significant performance penalty since it renders
to a raw PHP cache. Parsing of a Blade template is only done when
changes have been made.
It's also important to note that you are still free to use PHP tags in the
Blade templates.
As you can see we use an if statement to check if the $users array contains data. If it does, we
loop through the users and display a new list item for each. If the $users array doesn't contain
any data, we output a message saying so.
And that's it! Save the file and hit reload in your browser, and you will see the test account that
we created.
This may be a good time to play around with the HTML or add new
users using the test route that we made to get a better feel for how
everything works.
Step 10 – RESTful controllers
We've already mentioned that Laravel's routing system enables you to route GET, POST, PUT,
and DELETE requests to closures. But we haven't talked about how to individually route them
to controller actions.
The answer is RESTful controllers! RESTful controllers enable you to route to different controller
actions based on the request method. Let's configure our application to use RESTful controllers.
Since all of our controller classes are derived from the Base_Controller class, we can simply
add the $restful configuration to it and all of our controllers will be affected.
Update your Base_Controller class to look like this:
classBase_Controller extends Controller
{
public $restful = true;
