What is checked, automatically 11 checks · 80% to pass

Your repository is read the moment you submit. Unlimited attempts — a fail comes back as a list of what to fix.

  • It is a Laravel project fails on its own Submit the Laravel project folder itself.
  • .env is not committed fails on its own Delete .env from the repo and add it to .gitignore. Your database password does not belong on GitHub.
  • Your own repository fails on its own A fork of somebody else's tutorial is not your project.
  • Input is validated on the server fails on its own HTML required= is not validation. Use $request->validate([...]) in your controller, or a FormRequest class.
  • A migration of your own Laravel ships with three migrations. Add at least one for your own table with php artisan make:migration.
  • A model of your own Only User.php ships with Laravel. Add your own with php artisan make:model.
  • A controller of your own php artisan make:controller
  • Real Blade views A blog needs at least a list, a single post, a form and a layout. Laravel ships with one welcome page.
  • Routes that write, not just read A CRUD app needs POST or resource routes, not only Route::get.
  • README explains how to run it Say what the app does and the steps: clone, composer install, migrate, serve.
  • Built over many commits One giant commit says the work was copied. Commit as you go.
