Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks that is used by most of the web development companies. The framework is known for its capability for rapid web development. The following reasons make it the number one PHP framework:

• Faster web development
• Organized files and code
• Very strong encryption
• High level of abstraction
• Best Documentation
• Payment integration with stripe
• Packaging system
• RESTful controllers

Along with all these features, it also includes features like queue management, user-friendly videos, the lightweight Blade templating engine, unit testing, ORM, etc. This valuable framework provides you with a comprehensive and simple approach, to creating a beautiful and dynamic design for your website. Even if you are an expert web developer or a newbie, Laravel’s organized documentation makes the framework an easy-to-use platform for everyone.

The latest version of Laravel, i.e. Laravel 5.7, was released on 4th September 2018, on GitHub. The new version of Laravel has added new features for a better and error-free development experience. The various new features include the following:

• In the new version of Laravel, the assets folder in the Resource Directory has been removed, making it more flattened.
• The Laravel 5.7 has introduced a new API with a better and a neat way of testing the Artisan console commands.
• Using the new onEachSide method, with Laravel 5.7, you are allowed to control how many additional links (Paginator Links) to be displayed on each side of the paginator’s URL window.
• The Guest policies have also been updated in this new version, as the earlier versions returned false if an unauthenticated user tried to access the application.
• The new version has been updated with an optional email verification feature, using the email_verified_at timestamp column.
• The Laravel 5.7 includes better and more concise messages for errors that will show up if there is some missing method or code on a specific model.
• A callable-like syntax, for action URL generation, has been added to the new version of Laravel that navigates directly to the controller.
• The new version of Laravel is added with a beautiful dashboard, named Laravel Nova, which is mainly created to manage the database. The dashboard was announced early in 2018, during Laracon US 2018, and was officially released on 22 August 2018.
• There is another feature added to the 5.7 version, i.e. Symfony Dump Server Integration. This feature is useful in finding and fixing errors without interrupting the application runtime.
