**TLDR** I am building a web application from scratch using PHP Laravel and learning in the process, the application will be a Recipe sharing app that I will build on overtime.
Now I have Authentication all set up my next step was to get the CRUD functionality for creating recipes. (Create Read Update Delete).
Please note that I have not touched the styling on 99% of the app, I'm focusing on the backend and user functionality before styling comes into it. But this is the current look at the dashboard once a user is logged in. From the dashboard, the user is able to create new recipes and edit/delete their current recipes.
Creating the CRUD functionality took many steps including DB migrations (like the scruffy-looking one here):
This morning I've been working on the create a recipe page, this consists of a form that will post the data to the DB and create a recipe, that shows on the front end.
Again I've not really focused too much on style but you can get a little sense in what accent colour I'm going for:
Thanks for reading and following the process, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop a comment below. Feedback is key to my learning!





A cool project and one that could be customised to be so many things. Have you thought about adding a categorisation function along the lines of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free etc etc?
