This command will install fresh new laravel setup in provided location. After that, open your laravel web application in any text editor and Go to your application .env file and set up database credentials and move next step.

Step 2: Setup Database Credentials

In this step, Add database credentials in the .env file:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
DB_PORT=3306 
DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
DB_USERNAME=here database username here
DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3: Run Migration Command

This command will create some tables into your database.

Step 4: Create Routes

In this step, Open your routes/web.php and update the following routes into your routes/web.php file:

routes/web.php

Route::get('form', 'CustomErrorController@create');
Route::post('store', 'CustomErrorController@store');

Step 5: Generate Controller By Command

In this step, open your command prompt and run the following command to generate custom error message controller:

php artisan make:controller CustomErrorController

After that, Go to app/Http/Controllers/CustomErrorController.php and update the following code into your controller file:

app/Http/Controllers/CustomErrorController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\User;

class CustomErrorController extends Controller

{

public function create()

{

return view('form');

}

public function store(Request $request)

{

$request->validate(

[

'name' => 'required',

'password' => 'required|min:5',

'email' => 'required|email|unique:users'

[

'name.required' => 'Name is required',

'password.required' => 'Password is required'

]

);

$input = $request->all();

$input['password'] = bcrypt($input['password']);

$user = User::create($input);

return back()->with('success', 'User created successfully.');

}
