HOW TO CREATE INSTALLER IN LARAVEL

In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating
your custom web installer for your web application. If you are building a
complex application that requires a lot of initial configuration, it’s
considered to develop a web installer.
A web installer is also helpful for the non-tech-savvy users to install your web
application on their server. There are many packages built for the same purpose.
But in this article, we will guide you through the process of making your own
web installer for Laravel.
We will be adding almost all the features in our web installer that are
generally needed when installing the Laravel software. Here’s the list of
features that we are going to add to our installer:
* Check Minimum Requirements
* Setup Database Details
* Run The Database Migration
* Create Admin User Account
* Setup Website Configuration
STEPS TO CREATE INSTALLER IN LARAVEL
Here are the steps you need to go through to create your custom Laravel web
installer:
STEP 1: SETUP YOUR LARAVEL APPLICATION
Create your new Laravel web application if haven’t already using the following
command:
laravel new application-name-here
STEP 2: SETUP YOUR WEB INSTALLER ASSETS & VIEW FILES
* In this example, we will be using bootstrap to build the setup user
interface. So, we will create a folder inside the public folder named “setup”
inside which all the bootstrap CSS and JS files will be present.
* Inside public/setup folder, create two more folder named as css, img.
* Inside css folder, place bootstrap.min.css file and inside img folder, place
your application’s favicon.ico file.
* Now, create a folder named “setup” inside resources->views. This folder
contains all the view files needed for the setup.
After completing these steps, create the following files inside your views/setup
folder accordingly:
* app.blade.php
* index.blade.php
* requirements.blade.php
* database.blade.php
* account.blade.php
* config.blade.php
* complete.blade.php
Paste the following code in those view files accordingly:
Inside app.blade.php
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<title>{{ config('app.name', 'Custom Installer') }}</title>
<link rel="icon" href="{{ asset('setup/img/favicon.ico') }}">

All blade directives required by the Installer are set up successfully. Now we
need to create a new Language file.
STEP 3: CREATE A SETUP LANGUAGE FILE
It’s an optional step but we highly recommend you do this. If your application
is multi-lingual, then this is a must.
However, in our example, we are using language files only to show the minimum
requirement message.
Navigate to resources -> lang -> en and create a new setup.php file. Then paste
the following code:
<?php
/**
* This Language configs are used when running the setup wizard
*/
return [
'php_version' => 'PHP version >= 7.4.0',
'extension_bcmath' => 'PHP Extension: BCMath',
'extension_ctype' => 'PHP Extension: Ctype',
'extension_json' => 'PHP Extension: JSON',
'extension_mbstring' => 'PHP Extension: Mbstring',
'extension_openssl' => 'PHP Extension: OpenSSL',
'extension_pdo_mysql' => 'PHP Extension: PDO',
'extension_tokenizer' => 'PHP Extension: Tokenizer',
'extension_xml' => 'PHP Extension: XML',
'env_writable' => '.env file is present and writable',
'storage_writable' => '/storage and /storage/logs directories are writable',
];
STEP 4: MAKE SETUP MIDDLEWARE
A middleware is required to check whether the setup is complete or not. If the
setup is incomplete, the user will be automatically redirected to the setup
page.
But if the setup is completed and the user is hitting the setup page again, the
user will be redirected to the homepage of the application.
Run the following command to create your custom SetupMiddleware:
php artisan make:middleware SetupMiddleware
Paste the following code inside your middleware. The file will be located inside
app/Http/Middleware/SetupMiddleware.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Artisan;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class SetupMiddleware
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse) $next
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
*/
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
if(env('APP_KEY') === null || empty(env('APP_KEY')) && empty(config('app.key'))){
Artisan::call('key:generate');
Artisan::call('config:cache');
}
$setupStatus = setupStatus();
if($request->is('setup/*')){
if($setupStatus){
return redirect()->route('home');
}
return $next($request);
}
if(!$setupStatus){
return redirect()->route('setup.index');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
STEP 5: REGISTER YOUR MIDDLEWARE
Navigate to app/Http/Kernel.php and inside the protected $middleware array,
paste the following line:
\App\Http\Middleware\SetupMiddleware::class,
Now your middleware array should look like this:
protected $middleware = [
// \App\Http\Middleware\TrustHosts::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies::class,
\Fruitcake\Cors\HandleCors::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\PreventRequestsDuringMaintenance::class,
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidatePostSize::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\TrimStrings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\SetupMiddleware::class,
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ConvertEmptyStringsToNull::class,
];
STEP 6: CREATE HELPER FUNCTIONS
Now, it’s time to create some helper functions that we will use further. If your
project doesn’t have any helpers, create a helper in Laravel as we need them in
our project.
Open your helper function file and paste the following functions:
/**
* Determines if setup is complete or not
*/
function setupStatus()
{
try {
$checkComplete = \App\Models\Configuration::where('config', 'setup_complete')->first();
if (!$checkComplete) {
return false;
}
if ($checkComplete['value'] === '0') {
return false;
}
return true;
} catch (Exception $e) {
return false;
}
}
/**
* This function is used to save the image in desired location
*/
function saveImage($image, $location)
{
$imageName = bin2hex(random_bytes(5)) . time() . '.' . $image->extension();
$image->move(public_path($location), $imageName);
$url = url($location . '/' . $imageName);
return $url;
}
STEP 7: CREATE CONFIGURATION MODEL AND MIGRATION FILES
We need to create a new table inside the database names as configurations. This
table holds all the necessary key=>value pairs that are required by the
installer.
First, create your model named Configuration by running the command given below:
php artisan make:model Configuration
Paste the following code inside that model file:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Configuration extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
public $fillable = [
'config',
'value',
];
}
To create your migration, run the following command:
php artisan make:migration create_configuration_table
Paste the following code inside that migration:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
p
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('configurations', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('config');
$table->string('value');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('configurations');
}
};
Now, we also need to populate that table with some default values. So, create
another migration by running the following command:
php artisan make:migration add_config_to_configurations_table
Paste the following code inside that migration file:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use App\Models\Configuration;
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Configuration::create([
'config' => 'setup_complete',
'value' => 0,
]);
Configuration::create([
'config' => 'setup_stage',
'value' => 1,
]);
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
//
}
};
STEP 9: CREATE CONTROLLERS FOR LARAVEL INSTALLER
Create a folder named Setup inside app/Http/Controllers as we are going to group
all our controllers inside the Setup folder.
Now, run the following commands one by one:
php artisan make:controller Setup/SetupController
php artisan make:controller Setup/AccountController
php artisan make:controller Setup/ConfigurationController
Paste the following code inside each of those controllers:
Code For: SetupController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Setup;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

STEP 10: REGISTER YOUR ROUTES
Paste the following route group code inside your web.php file:
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\Setup\SetupController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Setup\AccountController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Setup\ConfigurationController;
Route::get('/', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
Route::prefix('setup')->group(function(){
Route::get('start', [SetupController::class, 'index'])->name('setup.index');
Route::get('requirements', [SetupController::class, 'requirements'])->name('setup.requirements');
Route::get('database', [SetupController::class, 'database'])->name('setup.database');
Route::post('database-submit', [SetupController::class, 'databaseSubmit'])->name('setup.database.submit');
Route::get('account', [AccountController::class, 'account'])->name('setup.account');
Route::post('account-submit', [AccountController::class, 'accountSubmit'])->name('setup.account.submit');
Route::get('configuration', [ConfigurationController::class, 'configuration'])->name('setup.configuration');
Route::post('configuration-submit', [ConfigurationController::class, 'configurationSubmit'])->name('setup.configuration.submit');
Route::get('complete', [SetupController::class, 'setupComplete'])->name('setup.complete');
});
We have successfully created our custom Laravel installer for our web
application. Now, anyone tries to run your web application need to complete the
setup before using the other features of the application.
STEPS TO RUN LARAVEL INSTALLER
Open your terminal and run the following command:
php artisan serve
Once the web application is running, try opening any URL and it will redirect
you to the /setup/start/ page. That’s because Middleware is determining that
your setup is incomplete and you need to complete it first. Here are the steps
Step 1: Click on Check Minimum Requirements.
Step 2: If minimum requirements are met, Setup Database button will appear.
Step 3: Click Setup Database button.
Step 4: Enter Database Details such as host, port, and database credentials.
Step 5: Click on Submit button, if database details are right, migration will
run. Now, setup your Admin user account.
Step 6: Set your configuration values and click on Save Config.
Step 7: You’ve successfully completed the setup, now click on Launch Website.
CONCLUSION
We hope that by following our DIY guide, you will be able to create your custom
Laravel Web Installer for your web project. Web Installers are really helpful
and it helps us to deploy our Laravel software in easy way.
