Question 1

Is bestmomo/laravel5-3-example production ready?

Accepted Answer

No, it's primarily an educational resource; while it includes real-world features like authentication and testing, it's not actively maintained for production and uses outdated Laravel 5.3, which could pose security risks.

Question 2

How to upgrade laravel5-3-example to Laravel 8 or 9?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading requires manual effort due to breaking changes in Laravel; you'll need to update dependencies, refactor code for new features, and potentially rewrite parts using deprecated packages, making it a complex educational exercise rather than a straightforward update.

Question 3

Laravel5-3-example vs Laravel Breeze: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Laravel Breeze is a lightweight, modern starter kit for current Laravel versions with Blade or React/Vue, while this example is feature-rich but outdated; choose Breeze for new projects and this example for in-depth learning of Laravel 5.3 specifics.

Question 4

How to add a new role or permission in laravel5-3-example?

Accepted Answer

You can modify the database seeder and role models, then update middleware and controllers; the existing RBAC implementation with three roles provides a clear pattern to follow, but it requires understanding Laravel's authorization system.

Question 5

Does this project support API development with Laravel?

Accepted Answer

Primarily no; it focuses on server-rendered views with forms and Bootstrap, but you can adapt it by adding API routes and using Laravel's built-in resources, though it's not demonstrated in the codebase, limiting its utility for API-focused learning.

Question 6

What are the security considerations for using this example?

Accepted Answer

Since it's based on Laravel 5.3, it may have unpatched vulnerabilities; always update dependencies and review code for best practices like CSRF protection and input validation, as it's intended for learning rather than secure deployment.
