Laravel 6 survey

Custom survey app in Laravel 6.

Pre-requisites

• Linux
• Node.js v7+
• MySQL v5.5+ (or MariaDB)
• PHP v7.2+

Or you could install it via docker.

Building

Inside the repo's folder.

Install Node.js dependencies, it will take some time.

$ npm i

Download composer.

$ php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
$ php composer-setup.php

If you want to speed up composer then download prestissimo. Hopefully this is just a temporary solution.

$ php composer.phar global require hirak/prestissimo

Install composer's dependencies.

$ php composer.phar install

Copy and edit your own .env file out of .env.example, it is essential.

$ cp .env.example .env

Generate the new APP_KEY value on the .env file.

$ php artisan key:generate

You'll have to configure MySQL yourself, it's not that hard.

Log into your MySQL as root.

Say your .env file has the following confs

  DB_USERNAME=laravel_survey_user
  DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
  DB_PASSWORD=laravel_survey_pass
  DB_DATABASE=laravel_survey_database

Create the user DB_USERNAME at DB_HOST identified by DB_PASSWORD.
> CREATE USER [email protected] IDENTIFIED BY 'laravel_survey_pass';

Create the database DB_DATABASE.
> CREATE DATABASE laravel_survey_database;

Grant DB_USERNAME all privileges to DB_DATABASE.
> GRANT ALL ON laravel_survey_database.* TO [email protected];

Execute laravel's migrations.

$ php artisan migrate

Run webpack's tasks to generate JavaScript and CSS assets.

$ npm run dev
OR
$ npm run production # to generate minified files

Start up the server.

$ php artisan serve

You will have to access http://localhost:8000/laravel/.

Optional 3rd party integrations

I recommend you just updating the .env file variables PUSHER_ENABLED=true and GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_ENABLED=true and starting up the server. The first page will tell you about missing configurations in these optional 3rd party integrations. A form will be created for input and validation of the credentials. If some error occur you'll be notified. In case all credentials are correct the .env file will be updated and you'll be able to proceed normally.

Pusher

Create your app at pusher's dashboard. Edit the .env file with your credentials

PUSHER_ENABLED=true
PUSHER_APP_ID=
PUSHER_APP_KEY=
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=

Google Recaptcha

Go to Google Recaptcha's admin page and register a new site. Edit the .env file with your keys

GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_ENABLED=true
GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SITE_SECRET=
GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=
