Step 1: Install Laravel

We are going to install laravel 9, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel9_ckeditor

Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel9_ckeditor)

Now, We need to create a migration. so we will below command using create the articles table migration.

php artisan make:migration create_articles_table --create=articles

1	php artisan make:migration create_articles_table --create=articles

After complete migration. we need below changes in the database/migrations/create_articles_table file.

<?php

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

class CreateArticlesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('articles', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('description');
            $table->string('author_name');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateArticlesTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('articles', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->text('description');

$table->string('author_name');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('articles');

}

Run the below command. after the changes above file.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 3: Install Package

Now, We will install “unisharp/laravel-ckeditor” package. so first open the composer.json file and add the below line.

composer require unisharp/laravel-ckeditor

1	composer require unisharp/laravel-ckeditor

Step 5: Add providers

We will add below providers and aliases in the “config/app.php” file.

'providers' => [
	....
	Unisharp\Ckeditor\ServiceProvider::class,
],

'providers' => [

....

Unisharp\Ckeditor\ServiceProvider::class,

After successful the above steps, run the below command to publish the assets, which will copy from vendor\unisharp\laravel-ckeditorto public\vendor\unisharp\laravel-ckedito

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ckeditor

1	php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ckeditor

Step 6: Create Route

Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/', function () {
   // return view('welcome');	
});
Route::get('/article',[ArticleController::class, 'index'])->name('article.form');
 
Route::post('/save-article',[ArticleController::class, 'storeArticle'])->name('store.article');
 
Route::get('/article/{id}',[ArticleController::class, 'showArticle'])->name('show.article');
?>

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('/', function () {

// return view('welcome');

});

Route::get('/article',[ArticleController::class, 'index'])->name('article.form');

Route::post('/save-article',[ArticleController::class, 'storeArticle'])->name('store.article');

Route::get('/article/{id}',[ArticleController::class, 'showArticle'])->name('show.article');

Step 7: Create a Model and Controller

Here below command help to create the controller and model.

php artisan make:controller ArticleController --resource --model=Article

1	php artisan make:controller ArticleController --resource --model=Article

Article.php

<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Article extends Model
{
     use HasFactory;
     protected $fillable = [
        'title','description', 'author_name'
    ];
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model

{

use HasFactory;

protected $fillable = [

'title','description', 'author_name'

];

}

ArticleController.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Article;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Response;
class ArticleController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('article-form');
    }
    public function storeArticle(Request $request)
    {
      $input_data = $request->all();
      $article = new Article();     
      $article->title = $input_data['title'];
      $article->description = $input_data['description'];
      $article->author = $input_data['author];
      $article->save();
      return redirect()->route('article.form)->withSuccess(['Data saved successfully.']);
    }
   
    public function showArticle(Request $request, $id)
    {
      $article = Article::where('id',$id)->first();
      return view('display-article', compact('article'));
    }
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Article;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Response;

class ArticleController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

return view('article-form');

}

public function storeArticle(Request $request)

{

$input_data = $request->all();

$article = new Article();

$article->title = $input_data['title'];

$article->description = $input_data['description'];

$article->author = $input_data['author];

$article->save();

return redirect()->route('article.form)->withSuccess(['Data saved successfully.']);

}

public function showArticle(Request $request, $id)

{

$article = Article::where('id',$id)->first();

return view('display-article', compact('article'));

}

Step 8: Create Blade Files

Finally, We will create the article-form.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” folder directory and paste the below code.

article-form.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h1 class="text-center">Laravel 9 Integrate Ckeditor With Example - XpertPhp</h1><br> 
                <form method="post" action="{{ route('store.article') }}" class="form form-horizontal">               
                  @csrf
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Title</label>
                        <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control"/>
                    </div>  
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Description</label>
                         <textarea class="form-control" id="summary-ckeditor" name="summary-ckeditor"></textarea> 
                    </div>  
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Author Name</label>
                        <input type="text" name="author" class="form-control"/>
                    </div>   
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary"/>
                    </div> 
                </form>             
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/js/bootstrap.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="{{ asset('vendor/unisharp/laravel-ckeditor/ckeditor.js') }}"></script>
    <script>
       CKEDITOR.replace( 'summary-ckeditor' );
    </script> 
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<h1 class="text-center">Laravel 9 Integrate Ckeditor With Example - XpertPhp</h1><br>

@csrf

<label>Title</label>

</div>

<label>Description</label>

</div>

<label>Author Name</label>

</div>

</div>

</form>

</div>

CKEDITOR.replace( 'summary-ckeditor' );

</script>

</body>

</html>

Step 9: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/article
