Laragon for Laravel development
Hey, guys.
At this moment I want to share with you, how to work Laravel Framework in Windows.
Mexico city, March 22, 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic started in Mexico City. I had to emigrate from the city and buy a computer with windows 10.
lol At this point I thought: how do I develop my laravel applications on windows?
So, I met Laragon, a tool is amazing.
Initially I had a lot of trouble running the PHPUnit tests. 🥺
Then I managed to run the tests:
.\vendor\bin\phpunit
Laragon benefits
Multiple php versions:
An important benefit is the change of PHP versions between 7.1 to 7.4, this is a headache when working with laravel valet on Mac OS.
Multiple database:
We can switch between mysql or mariadb. This depends on your projects.
Disadvantages
When we work with Windows, there are possibly problems with the directory path.
In my experience I had problems with the jest tests. because the node_modules directory cannot be found.
Anyway, Laragon is very elegant for laravel development.
