A web application can be
the biggest asset for your business and so you need to make it both responsive
as well as easy to use. With Laravel, you allow your web application to use
advanced technology.
But hiring someone who
can help you to build web applications just according to your needs along with
the latest trends in mind is crucial for your business. Knowledge base and
understanding the industry is important for any Laravel developer but even such
developers sometimes commit some very common mistakes while building an
application. Is your developer also one of those?
Double check the list of
common mistake before you hire a Laravel developer because even a single common
mistake can easily ruin your project. Here are the 5 common mistakes that one
shouldn't make while building a Laravel based web application-
- Placing
the business logic inside the controller methods.
- Validation
in Controllers.
- PHP
codes in view.
- Laravel
Facade Using Outside of the Controllers and Middleware.
- Javascript and Styles inside of the ‚/public’ Directory.
Start-up founders or
entrepreneur, everyone wishes to provide the best facilities to their
customers. But are you providing all the facilities to your customers?
As an eCommerce
business, we found that our stats have begun to go down a few months back even
when everything was right from our side. We were unable to find the reason
behind it. On discussing this with some other entrepreneurs, I found that
customers want web applications as most of them to use mobile phones for making
a purchase. And that's the idea of getting an app for our business bloomed.
After describing the
idea of our app, our consultant told us a few things and at last Laravel was
chosen as the language for application development.

Fat Controller
A very common mistake
made by Laravel developers is placing the business logic inside the controller
methods. There are several architectural patterns for dealing with it.
Recently, repositories have become very popular in the Laravel world. But you
need to know what are your doing when you need to use it. In my opinion, don't
use it unless you need to change the db engine or move your code to some other
framework.
Validation in the Controllers
Most of the times we see
that the request params validation is built in the controller method. It was
accepted in Laravel 4 but in Laravel 5 it is no more the proper way which comes
with Form Request feature.
PHP Code in Views
Placing the PHP code
directly in the view field to operate in some kind of data is not the proper
way. For example, a logged user avatar is displayed in the common part of the
view. A feature called View Composer can be used to do this in a proper way.
You need to use those codes inside it to initialize the variable. And then
display it in the view file.
Laravel Facade Using Outside of the Controllers and Middleware
The use of Laravel
Facades inside the controllers and middleware in Laravel can be justified
because they are related to with Laravel framework. But one should never use it
outside of middleware and controllers. Instead, the dependency injection needs
to be used.
Javascript and Styles inside of the ‚/public’ Directory
Now putting your JavaScripts
and styles inside of the /public directory is another major mistake made by the
developers. If you want to do it in the right way then you should split it into
those scripts into different small files. Also with adequate names and place it
under /resources/assets/ js or sass directory.
Conclusion-
Development of a web
application is an amalgam of both creativity and innovation but before you hire
a Laravel programmer, you should make sure that they don't make these common
mistakes because their mistakes can ruin your entire project. Hire someone who
is eligible enough to help you skyrocket your business.
