How to Create Laravel 11 MongoDB CRUD Operation

Hello, laravel web developers! In this article, we'll see how to create the Laravel 11 MongoDB CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operation. Here, we'll learn step by step guide to creating CRUD operations in Laravel 11 with MongoDB.

So, without further delay, let's dive into the world of MongoDB CRUD operations in Laravel 11.

Laravel 11 MongoDB CRUD

Laravel 11 MongoDB CRUD Operation

 

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

If you haven't already created a Laravel project, you can do so using Composer. Open your terminal and run the following command.

composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-11-mongodb

 

Step 2: Configure MongoDB Connection

Next, you need to configure your MongoDB connection in Laravel 11. You can configure using the given link. How to Install and Setup MongoDB in Laravel 10

 

Step 3: Create MongoDB Database

Now, we will create a MongoDB database. Make sure you have installed MongoDB in your system and connect with MongoDB before starting the CRUD operation.

mongo

> use laravel_11_mongodb

> db.posts.insert( { "name": "laravel 11 crud", "detail": "this is crud example details" } )

 

Step 4: Create a Migration

Now, we will create a migration for the posts table using the Laravel PHP Artisan command.

php artisan make:migration create_posts_table --create=posts

After running this command, you will discover a PHP file in the 'database/migrations/' directory.

Migration:

<?php 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; 
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; 
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; 

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration { 

/** 
* Run the migrations. 
* 
* @return void */ 

public function up() 
{ 
    Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) { 
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('name')->nullable();
            $table->longText('detail')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}

Now, let's execute the migration using the following command.

php artisan migrate

 

 

Step 5: Add Route

In this step, we'll define a resource route in Laravel 11.

routes/web.php

Route::resource('posts', PostController::class);

 

Step 6: Adding a Controller and Model

In this step, we'll create a controller and model in Laravel to manage our resources.

Create a new controller by running the following Artisan command.

php artisan make:controller PostController --resource --model=Post

app/Models/Post.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $connection = 'mongodb';
	protected $collection = 'posts';

    protected $fillable = [
        'id', 'name', 'detail'
    ];
}

Then, we will update the below code to the PostController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::latest()->paginate(5);
        return view('post.index',compact('posts'))->with('i', (request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('post.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'detail' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        Post::create($request->all());
   
        return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success','Post created successfully.');
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Post $post)
    {
        return view('post.show',compact('post'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Post $post)
    {
        return view('post.edit',compact('post'));
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Post $post)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'detail' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        $post->update($request->all());
  
        return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success','Post updated successfully');
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Post  $post
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Post $post)
    {
        $post->delete();
  
        return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success','Post deleted successfully');
    }
}

 

Step 7: Adding Blade Files for CRUD Operations

In this step, we'll create the Blade view files needed for the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations of our resource in Laravel 11.

Follow these sub-steps to add Blade view files:

  1. Navigate to the resources/views directory in your Laravel project.

  2. Inside the views directory, create a folder named after your resource (e.g., "posts").

  3. Inside the resource-specific folder, create the following Blade view files:

    • index.blade.php: This file will display a list of all resource items.
    • create.blade.php: Create a new resource item form.
    • edit.blade.php: Edit an existing resource item form.
    • show.blade.php: Display details of a specific resource item.

These Blade view files will be used to render the user interface for your CRUD operations.
