Laravel is one of the most used PHP framework in the word today. Laravel makes everything easier. It’s been 2 years since I have started using it; and I must confess, Laravel is indeed an elegant framework. Followings are some of the things i love about Laravel.

Laravel is Popular

Being most popular helps a lot. There are many people online who are using Laravel. You can easily get help form people online. Sites like Stack Overflow, Laracast helps a lot. Laravel community is very good when it comes to helping others.

Blade Templating Engine

Bye to those days when PHP was considered an ugly language. Blade makes PHP easy to read and understand.

Easy to learn

Unlike other PHP Framework, Laravel has lower learning curve. One with no programming knowledge can easily learn Laravel in 1–2 month period. Excellent documentation given by Laravel makes it easy for a new learner to learn Laravel.

Authentication out of the box

Authentication has never been so easy. Laravel gives basic authentication out of the box. You can customize as per your need and you are good to go. Who does not likes free stuff??

Routing

Routing are URLs that maintains the workflow of the application. It is easy to maintain and create routing in Laravel. The best thing about these URL is that they are both human readable and SEO friendly.
