Setup the Database

Setup the Database from .env file

We need to store our data. Laravel use datase to store data. Laravel support many DB server like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server, for now we choose MySQL. We need to configure the database settings in the .env file located in the root directory of our myapp project. To configure the database settings, open the .env file and update the following lines:

Setup the Database

Open .env file from myapp directory


                DB_CONNECTION=mysql

                DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

                DB_PORT=3306

                DB_DATABASE=myapp

                DB_USERNAME=root

                DB_PASSWORD=root

you can replace “DB_DATABASE”, “DB_USERNAME”, and “DB_PASSWORD” with your current setup.
