Step 1: Install Laravel
We are going to install laravel 7, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel7_ckeditor

DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel7_ckeditor) DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root) DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root)
Step 3: Create a Table using migration
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
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');
}
}
?>
Run the below command. after the changes above file.
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
Step 5: Add providers
We will add below providers and aliases in the “config/app.php” file.
'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
Step 6: Create Route
Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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@index')->name('article.form');
Route::post('/save-article','ArticleController@storeArticle')->name('store.article');
Route::get('/article/{id}','ArticleController@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
Article.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Article extends Model
{
//
protected $fillable = [
'title','description', 'author_name'
];
}
?>
ArticleController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\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 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 7 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>
Step 9: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.
php artisan serve
Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/article
