- Install and add laravel to $PATH (use composer)

- Create the project:
	$ laravel new myprojectname

- Add the DB:
	Once your database created, open the .env file in your project. 
	From there, set your database location and login.

- Set authentication:
	php artisan make:auth

- Trigger the server:
	you can test the server anytime with: $ php artisan serve

- Create a migration table:
	php artisan make:migration create_records_table --create=records
	this creates the migration file with path database/migrations/{{datetime}}_create_records_table.php
	you can add the table fields in that migration file

- Trigger the migration:
	In some instance, you might get a MySQL error when trigerring the migration:
	[SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes (SQL: alter table `users` add unique `users_email_unique`(`email`))]
	To prevent: go to app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php and add the follow to the boot() method:
	use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
	public function boot()
    {
        Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
    }
    To migrate:
    $ php artisant migrate
    At that point, you should have 4 tables:
    	migrations
    	password_resets
    	records
    	users
    To drop before migration: php artisan migrate:fresh

- Generate some fake data by generating a seeder and a factory
	$ php artisan make:model --factory Record  # generates the RecordFactor in database/factories where you can add the faker
	$ php artisan make:seeder RecordsTableSeeder  # creates the seeder tp database/seeds/RecordsTableSeeder.php

- API routes are in routes/api.php
Create a record controller to app/Http/Controllers/RecordController.php: $ php artisan make:controller RecordController
