MVC in Laravel [PHP] Runnable
In Laravel MVC is easy to acomplish and feels very native.

Controller:
// get data from DemoModel.php
$data = DemoModel::getData();

Model:

class DemoModel {

static public function getData()
{
return 'Model data put me in a view please.';
}
}

Basic Join:

DB::table('users')
            ->join('contacts', 'users.id', '=', 'contacts.user_id')
            ->join('orders', 'users.id', '=', 'orders.user_id')
            ->select('users.id', 'contacts.phone', 'orders.price')
            ->get();

1. Remove decleration from composer.json (in “require” section)
2. Remove Service Provider from “app.php” (reference in “providers” array)
3. Remove any Class Alliases from “app.php”
4. Remove any references to the package from your code 🙂
5. Run “composer update”
6. Manually delete the published files

The Laravel inversion of control container is a powerful tool for managing class dependencies. Dependency injection is a method of removing hard-coded class dependencies. Instead, the dependencies are injected at run-time, allowing for greater flexibility as dependency implementations may be swapped easily.

Understanding the Laravel IoC container is essential to building a powerful, large application, as well as for contributing to the Laravel core itself.
