Laravel is the most popular framework of php. laravel better than another PHP framework because it handles the command base. so let us see about laravel 8 MongoDB CRUD tutorial example. it was released on Sept 03, 2019.

Now, we follow the below step for creating the laravel 8 MongoDB CRUD operation(Laravel 8 CRUD example).

Overview

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

Step 2: Configure MongoDB database

Step 3: Install laravel-mongodb Package

Step 4: Add Route

Step 5: Create Model and Controller

Step 6: Create Blade Files

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

We are going to install laravel 8, 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 laravel8_crud_mongodb

Step 2: Configure MongoDB database

After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and add the MONGO_DB_HOST, MONGO_DB_PORT, MONGO_DB_DATABASE, MONGO_DB_USERNAME and MONGO_DB_PASSWORD in the .env file.

MONGO_DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
MONGO_DB_PORT=27017
MONGO_DB_DATABASE=mongoproject
MONGO_DB_USERNAME=SECRET
MONGO_DB_PASSWORD=SECRET

Now, we have to add a connection array of MongoDB in the config/database.php file.

'connections' => [

        ...
     'mongodb' => [
            'driver'   => 'mongodb',
            'host'     => env('MONGO_DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'port'     => env('MONGO_DB_PORT', 27017),
            'database' => env('MONGO_DB_DATABASE'),
            'username' => env('MONGO_DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('MONGO_DB_PASSWORD'),
            'options'  => []
        ],
    ]

Step 3: Install laravel-mongodb Package
Now, we are going to install the “jenssegers/mongodb” package using the below command.

composer require jenssegers/mongodb

After the install the package We will add below providers in the “config/app.php” file.

<?php


return [
	....
	'providers' => [
		....
		Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,
	]
	.....
]
?>

Step 4: Add Route

We have to need put below the student resource route in routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\StudentController;

Route::resource('student',StudentController::class);

Step 5: Create a Model and Controller

Here below command help to create the controller and model.

php artisan make:controller StudentController --resource --model=Student

Student.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class Student extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $connection = 'mongodb';
    protected $collection = 'students';
    protected $fillable = [
        'first_name','last_name', 'address'
    ];
}

?>

StudentController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

class StudentController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        //
        $students = Student::all();
        return view('student.list', compact('students','students'));
    }

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

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        //
        $request->validate([
            'txtFirstName'=>'required',
            'txtLastName'=> 'required',
            'txtAddress' => 'required'
        ]);

        $student = new Student([
            'first_name' => $request->get('txtFirstName'),
            'last_name'=> $request->get('txtLastName'),
            'address'=> $request->get('txtAddress')
        ]);

        $student->save();
        return redirect('/student')->with('success', 'Student has been added');
    }

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

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

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Student  $student
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request,$id)
    {
        //

        $request->validate([
            'txtFirstName'=>'required',
            'txtLastName'=> 'required',
            'txtAddress' => 'required'
        ]);


        $student = Student::find($id);
        $student->first_name = $request->get('txtFirstName');
        $student->last_name = $request->get('txtLastName');
        $student->address = $request->get('txtAddress');

        $student->update();

        return redirect('/student')->with('success', 'Student updated successfully');
    }

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

Step 6: Create Blade Files

So finally, first we will create the layout.blade.php files and the second time we will create list.blade.php, create.blade.php, view.blade.php, and edit.blade.php in “resources/ views/student/” directory.

layout.blade.php

            <th width="280px">Action</th>
        </tr>
        @php
            $i = 0;
        @endphp
        @foreach ($students as $student)
            <tr>
                <td>{{ ++$i }}</td>

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/student
