Laravel Boilerplates

When it comes to a laravel web application development there are sections of codes and features that have to be included in most of the web applications with little or no alteration. One of the main scenarios is authentication, we all know laravel provides a robust authentication even though laravel authentication lacks role-based authentication and permission-based restrictions . in such cases we have to build a role-based authentication with the use of middlewares or using some external libraries such as spatie laravel-permission . Here where the boilerplates come to help boilerplates provides a basic foundation to our project which eases up all the headaches related to basic features common to most of the web applications and saves us a large amount of time.

Backup

A loss of data is something we really don’t want to happen to our project, Keep in mind that it’s just a command away. Even if we are cautious when dealing with important codes there is a chance something goes wrong so always set up an automatic backup system. someday you will thank yourself for it. Of course, there is a package for it,  spatie laravel/backup . We can set up an automatic backup using this package along with cron jobs. And it will automatically delete old backups so you don’t have to worry about storage conception.
