Laravel-cors repo

composer require barryvdh/laravel-cors

To allow CORS for all routes, add the HandleCors middleware in the $middleware property of app/Http/Kernel.php class:

protected $middleware = [
    // ...
    \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
];

To allow CORS on a specific middleware group or route, add the HandleCors middleware to your group:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
       // ...
    ],
 
    'api' => [
        // ...
        \Barryvdh\Cors\HandleCors::class,
    ],
];

Configure CORS

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Cors\ServiceProvider"

Add column to existing table

php artisan make:migration add_paid_to_users

public function up()
{
    Schema::table('users', function($table) {
        $table->integer('paid');
        // to set default value:
        $table->integer('paid')->default(0);
    });
}

and a rollback option

public function down()
{
    Schema::table('users', function($table) {
        $table->dropColumn('paid');
    });
}

then run migration

php artisan migrate

$users = DB::table('users')
                ->orderBy('name', 'desc')
                ->get();
// or
 
$projects = \App\Project::orderBy('order')->get();
