Build a Product CRUD in Laravel 11 (SQLite) -

This guide is beginner-friendly and follows Laravel best practices.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

PHP 8.2+
Composer installed
Basic knowledge of PHP & MVC concepts

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

Run the following command to create a new Laravel 11 project:

composer create-project laravel/laravel product-crud
cd product-crud
php artisan serve

Visit:

http://127.0.0.1:8000

Step 2: Configure SQLite Database

Create SQLite database file

Inside the database folder, create:

database/database.sqlite

Update `.env` file

Modify database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=database/database.sqlite

No username or password is required for SQLite.

Step 3: Create Product Model & Migration

Run:

php artisan make:model Product -m

Migration file (`database/migrations/xxxx_create_products_table.php`)

public function up(): void
{
    Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->decimal('price', 10, 2);
        $table->text('description')->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

Run migration:

php artisan migrate

Step 4: Product Model

Edit app/Models/Product.php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'price',
        'description'
    ];
}

Step 5: Create Product Controller

php artisan make:controller ProductController

`app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php`

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Product;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $products = Product::latest()->get();
        return view('products.index', compact('products'));
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return view('products.create');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'price' => 'required|numeric'
        ]);

        Product::create($request->all());
        return redirect()->route('products.index')
            ->with('success', 'Product added successfully');
    }

    public function edit(Product $product)
    {
        return view('products.edit', compact('product'));
    }

    public function update(Request $request, Product $product)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'price' => 'required|numeric'
        ]);

        $product->update($request->all());
        return redirect()->route('products.index')
            ->with('success', 'Product updated successfully');
    }

    public function destroy(Product $product)
    {
        $product->delete();
        return redirect()->route('products.index')
            ->with('success', 'Product deleted successfully');
    }
}

Step 6: Define Routes

Edit routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return redirect()->route('products.index');
});

Route::resource('products', ProductController::class);

Step 7: Create Blade Views

Create folder:

resources/views/products

Product List (`index.blade.php`)

    <title>Product List</title>

                    @forelse($products as $product)
                        <tr>

                                <form action="{{ route('products.destroy',$product->id) }}" method="POST" class="d-inline">
                                    @csrf
