Practice of LaravelValet in Mac minimal development environment-php Tutorial

LaravelValet is a simple Mac development environment. MacThe following simple development environment not only supports local development, but also shared access to the public network. after your computer is started on, Caddy will be started in the background, and Valet will use DnsMasq to write all the files. the dev domain name points to the website you have installed locally, such as the blog in the directory where the site is located, and you can access the blog through a browser. dev will automatically access the blog. Sharing to the public network actually relies mainly on ngrok.

Install

• UpdateHomebrew

brew update  

• Ensure brew services are available

brew services list  

• InstallPhp70If not

brew install php70  

• Ensure ~ /. Composer/vendor/bin has been added to the system PATH Directory.
• InstallValet

composer global require laravel/valet  

• InstallValetAndDnsMasq

valet install  

If the following error occurs in the previous step:

[ReflectionException]  Class Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\NpmRepository does not exist

This is because the Composer \ Repository \ ComposerRepository: whatProvides API is updated. you have installed fxp/composer-asset-plugin globally, so you need to update it:

composer global require fxp/composer-asset-plugin --no-plugins  

IfDnsMasqIf installation fails, install it manually.

brew install dnsmasq  

• Ping *. dev. if the Ping succeeds, it will be OK.

⇒  ping *.devPING *.dev (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes  64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms  64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms  64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.064 ms  64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.062 ms  

Start a Valet site

Currently, drivers supported by version 1.1.7 are as follows:

• Laravel
• Lumen
• Symfony
• Zend
• CakePHP 3
• WordPress
• Bedrock
• Craft
• Statamic
• Jigsaw
• Wordpress
• Joomla
• Contal
• Sculpin
• Static HTML

Of course, you can also drive it yourself, Custom Valet Drivers

• Create a folder

mkdir ~/WebRoot/ValetSite && cd ~/WebRoot/ValetSite  

• RunParkCommand to use the directory above as the site path

valet park  

• Create a Laravel-driven site

laravel new blog  

• Browser access http://blog.dev is OK

Link command

The link command can also be used to start the Laravel site. The park command treats all the folders in this directory as independent sites. when you only need to start one site, you can use the link command.

cd ~/WebRoot/ValetSite/blog  valet link test-blog  

Execute the above command to access the project site through http://test-blog.dev, there are two useful commands:

valet links  valet unlink  

I can see why it is used.

Make the site support TLS

It is also easy to make the site support TLS, and you need to execute the following:

valet secure blog  

In this way you can use the https://blog.dev for access, cancel the words:

valet unsecure blog  

Sharing site

This requirement is actually quite practical. for example, if something you develop needs to be accessed by others through the Internet, you only need a simple command.

valet share  

In this way, an Internet URL is generated through ngrok. to stop sharing, you can click Control + C to cancel the process.

View site logs

If you want to view the logs of all sites, the new logs will be automatically displayed on the terminal and you only need to execute valet logs

There is also a hidden console: access http: // localhost: 4040/inspect/http

There are also some Valet commands
