Even I was trying same but didn’t found any good solution so I decided to use Admin LTE 2 with Laravel and built the base app which we can use for any of our application as a base app and then later we can add our required module in it.

By using this base application you can do the following things:

  • Authentication.
  • Register new user.
  • User profiles.
  • Create different user types and users.
  • Assign roles to the user as per the user type.
  • Assign module permission.
  • Image upload.
  • Create responsive images in the backend for the user interface.

I am adding this application for the new developer so that they can learn Laravel as well as they can reffer the code base for their learning.

New developers have some specific issues at the initial level like:

How to create the new application in Laravel?

How to write effective code in Laravel and etc.

While creating this app I have taken care of all of this things.

Dependency injection

Dependency injection is a technique where one object supplies the dependencies of another object. An injection is the passing of a dependency to a dependent object that would use it. Passing the service to the client, rather than allowing a client to build or find the service, is the primitive requirement of the pattern.

This primitive requirement means that using values produced within the class from new or static methods is prohibited. The class should accept values passed in from outside.

The intent behind dependency injection is to decouple objects to the extent that no client code has to be changed simply because an object it depends on needs to be changed to a different one.

Dependency injection is one form of the broader technique of inversion of control. Rather than low level code calling up to high level code, high level code can receive lower level code that it can call down to. This inverts the typical control pattern seen in procedural programming.

Dependency injection supports the dependency inversion principle. The client delegates the responsibility of providing its dependencies to external code (the injector). The client is not allowed to call the injector code. It is the injecting code that constructs the services and calls the client to inject them. This means the client code does not need to know about the injecting code.

There are three common means for a client to accept a dependency injection: setter-, interface and constructor based injection. Setter and constructor injection differ mainly by when they can be used. Interface injection differs in that the dependency is given a chance to control its own injection. All require that separate construction code (the injector) take responsibility for introducing a client and its dependencies to each other.

For example, consider a Car object.

A Car depends on wheels, engine, fuel, battery, etc. to run. Traditionally we define the brand of such dependent objects along with the definition of the Car object.

Without Dependency Injection (DI):

class Car{
 
  private Wheel wh= new IndianWheel();
 
  private Battery bt= new ExcideBattery();
 
 
  //The rest
}

Here, the Car object is responsible for creating the dependent objects.

What if we want to change the type of its dependent object – say Wheel – after the initial IndianWheel() punctures? We need to recreate the Car object with its new dependency say JapaniWheel(), but only the Car manufacturer can do that.

Then what does the Dependency Injection do us for…?

When using dependency injection, objects are given their dependencies at run time rather than compile time (car manufacturing time). So that we can now change the Wheel whenever we want. Here, the dependency (wheel) can be injected into Car at run time.

After using dependency injection:

Here, we are injecting the dependencies (Wheel and Battery) at runtime. Hence the term : Dependency Injection.

class Car{

  private Battery bt= [Inject an Instance of Battery (dependency of car) at runtime]
  Car(Wheel wh,Battery bt) {
      this.wh = wh;
      this.bt = bt;
  }
  //Or we can have setters
  void setWheel(Wheel wh) {
      this.wh = wh;
  }
}
