Create Admin panel in Laravel 8.* using Backpack
In order to proceed you should have:
- Laravel installed
- virtual host ready for you
- xampp setup or other web server
- composer installed
#STEP 1: Create database
Create database using phpMyAdmin -> check credentials in .env file
Open phpMyAdmin — http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ or by clicking here
Create new database
Provide name and collation for your DB
In my case it is my_laravel and the collation is utf8mb4_general_ci
Update your .env file inside your laravel project docroot
Note: Check whether you have an user root and it has enough rights to write in that DB.
#STEP 2: Install items using composer
First step is to install
composer require backpack/crud:”4.1.*”
then
composer require backpack/generators --dev
composer require laracasts/generators --dev
#STEP 3: Install backpack
We need to make sure that .env file is updated and then run
php artisan backpack:install
#STEP 4: Open domain and register yourself
then open your domain /admin
