Laravel test

The Laravel test evaluates a candidate’s proficiency in one of the most popular PHP frameworks used for web development. It is designed to test familiarity with key Laravel features, including routing, controllers, and Eloquent ORM.

The test covers how to define routes and handle HTTP requests using Laravel’s routing system, ensuring candidates understand how to create RESTful routes and handle route parameters. It also delves into the use of controllers to separate logic from views, promoting maintainable code structures.

Eloquent ORM, a powerful tool for interacting with databases, is another major topic. Candidates are expected to know how to use Eloquent models to perform basic and advanced queries, including relationships between models and the use of query scopes. Laravel migrations, used for managing database schema changes, are tested with a focus on creating and rolling back migrations, as well as seeding databases with data.

Blade templates, Laravel’s templating engine, are assessed for the ability to create dynamic views with reusable components and template inheritance. Candidates should be familiar with the use of middleware, requests, and validation to handle and validate user input securely.

The test includes questions on Laravel’s Artisan CLI, focusing on commands for database migrations, testing, and project setup. The test also covers Laravel’s security features, including hashing, authentication, and authorization mechanisms like Laravel Passport and policies.

Candidates should demonstrate an understanding of task scheduling and queue management for handling background processes in Laravel applications. Knowledge of Laravel’s ecosystem tools, such as Horizon for job monitoring and Nova for administration panels, is also included.
