----
===== Create Project =====
<code bash>
# new project
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel PROJECT_NAME

===== CORS =====
[[https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors | Laravel-cors repo]]
<code bash>
composer require barryvdh/laravel-cors
</code>

To allow CORS for all routes, add the HandleCors middleware in the ''$middleware'' property of ''app/Http/Kernel.php'' class:
<code php>
protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
];
</code>

To allow CORS on a specific middleware group or route, add the HandleCors middleware to your group:
<code php>
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
       // ...
    ],

    'api' => [
        // ...
        \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
    ],
];
</code>

Configure CORS
<code bash>
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Cors\ServiceProvider"
</code>

----
===== Database =====
** Add column to existing table ** \\
<code bash>
php artisan make:migration add_paid_to_users
</code>
<code php>
public function up()
{
    Schema::table('users', function($table) {
        $table->integer('paid');
        // to set default value:
        $table->integer('paid')->default(0);
    });
}
</code>
and a rollback option
<code php>
public function down()
{
    Schema::table('users', function($table) {
        $table->dropColumn('paid');
    });
}
</code>
then run migration
<code bash>
php artisan migrate
</code>

----

$users = DB::table('users')
                ->orderBy('name', 'desc')
                ->get();
// or

$projects = \App\Project::orderBy('order')->get();
</code>
