Laravel 8 Auth (Registration and Login)

Previously, in Laravel 7 and Laravel 6 in other to do user authentication, we use an artisan command composer require laravel/ui while from Laravel 5.9 downwards uses php artisan make:auth

In Laravel 8, there is a major change in that area in the sense that many things are introduced and a lot of configurations have been done to get you started and not minding the boilerplate of your application, one of those changes is the introduction of Jetstream, Laravel Jetstream is a beautifully designed application scaffolding for Laravel. A major shift from the legacy authentication UI of Laravel.

Step 1: Install a new Laravel app

composer create-project laravel/laravel projectapp --prefer-dist

The command above only install Laravel, however, if you want to install Jetstream together then either

Laravel new projectapp --jet

or

composer require laravel/jetstream

we are going with the first of only installing Laravel, I want to explain other things in the process.

Before we migrate, let’s catch one bug before it throws an error, go to App/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
and add

Schema::defaultstringLength(191);

to the boot function, also add

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

to the top

Step 3: Migration

php artisan migrate

Step 4: install Jetstream

composer require laravel/jetstream

Step 5: Install livewire or inertia

We need to install one of the stacks, either a livewire or an inertia stack, in this tutorial, I will only be using livewire because it set up everything I need for the app

php artisan jetstream:install livewire 

As suggested, run npm install && npm run dev to build all the javaScript files and CSS we need for our app. On successful build, Laravel will send a notification at the bottom left.

Step 5: Migrate the new table that is created

php artisan migrate

Let’s run our app

php artisan serve 

How do I delete a Git branch both locally and remotely?

To delete Locally - (Normal),
 

git branch -d my_branch

If your branch in rebasing/merging progress and that was not done properly means, you will get an error Rebase/Merge in progress so in that case, you won't be able to delete your branch.

So either your need to solve rebasing/merging otherwise you can do force Delete by using,

git branch -D my_branch

To delete in Remote:

git push --delete origin my_branch

can do the same using ,

git push origin :my_branch   # easy to remember both will do the same.

hooks in codeigniter

What is hooks in codeigniter and how it works

CodeIgniter’s Hooks feature provides a means to tap into and modify the inner workings of the framework without hacking the core files. When CodeIgniter runs it follows a specific execution process, diagramed in the Application Flow page. There may be instances, however, where you’d like to cause some action to take place at a particular stage in the execution process. For example, you might want to run a script right before your controllers get loaded, or right after, or you might want to trigger one of your own scripts in some other location.

Hook Points

The following is a list of available hook points.

• pre_system Called very early during system execution. Only the benchmark and hooks class have been loaded at this point. No routing or other processes have happened.
• pre_controller Called immediately prior to any of your controllers being called. All base classes, routing, and security checks have been done.
• post_controller_constructor Called immediately after your controller is instantiated, but prior to any method calls happening.
• post_controller Called immediately after your controller is fully executed.
• display_override Overrides the _display() method, used to send the finalized page to the web browser at the end of system execution. This permits you to use your own display methodology. Note that you will need to reference the CI superobject with $this->CI =& get_instance() and then the finalized data will be available by calling $this->CI->output->get_output().
• cache_override Enables you to call your own method instead of the _display_cache() method in the Output Library. This permits you to use your own cache display mechanism.

post_system Called after the final rendered page is sent to the browser, at the end of system execution after the finalized data is sent to the browser.

What is sql injection ? ( top interview Question)

What is sql injection ?

SQL injection is a code injection technique that might destroy your database.

SQL injection is one of the most common web hacking techniques.

SQL injection is the placement of malicious code in SQL statements, via web page input.

What is the difference between primary key and unique key ?

	Primary Key	Unique Key
Definition	Primary key is a type of a unique key. This is the key that is allowed to migrate to other entities to define the relationships that exist among the entities.	A unique key is a set of zero, one, or more attributes. The value(s) of these attributes are required to be unique for each tuple (row) in a relation. The value, or combination of values, of unique key attributes for any tuple should not be repeated for any other tuple in that relation.
Used in	Relational Database Management Systems such as MySQL, Oracle, etc.	Relational Database Management Systems such as MySQL, Oracle, etc.
Null Values	Does not accept any null values	Accepts only one null value in the table
Type of Index	Is a clustered index and data in the database table is physically organized in the sequence of clustered index	Is a unique non-clustered index
Number of Keys allowed	Only one primary key in a table	Can have more than one unique key in a table
Convertible	Can be made into a foreign key into another table	Can be made into a foreign key into another table

What is the difference between char and varchar  ?

CHAR Data Type is a Fixed Length Data Type. For example if you declare a variable/column of CHAR (10) data type, then it will always take 10 bytes irrespective of whether you are storing 1 character or 10 character in this variable or column. And in this example as we have declared this variable/column as CHAR(10), so we can store max 10 characters in this column.

On the other hand VARCHAR is a variable length Data Type. For example if you declare a variable/column of VARCHAR (10) data type, it will take the no. of bytes equal to the number of characters stored in this column. So, in this variable/column if you are storing only one character then it will take only one byte and if we are storing 10 characters then it will take 10 bytes. And in this example as we have declared this variable/column as VARCHAR (10), so we can store max 10 characters in this column.

What is csrf and xss clean?

          CSRF :

Cross-site request forgeries are a type of malicious exploit whereby unauthorized commands are performed on behalf of an authenticated user.

Laravel automatically generates a CSRF "token" for each active user session managed by the application. This token is used to verify that the authenticated user is the one actually making the requests to the application

XSS clean :

the attack is basically a type of code injection attack which is made possible by incorrectly validating user data, which usually gets inserted into the page through a web form or using an altered hyperlink. The code injected can be any malicious client-side code, such as JavaScript, VBScript, HTML, CSS, Flash, and others. The code is used to save harmful data on the server or perform a malicious action within the user’s browser.

Unfortunately, cross-site scripting attacks occurs mostly, because developers are failing to deliver secure code. Every PHP programmer has the responsibility to understand how attacks can be carried out against their PHP scripts to exploit possible security vulnerabilities. Reading this article, you’ll find out more about cross-site scripting attacks and how to prevent them in your code.

Preventing Cross-Site Scripting Attacks

•     Data Validation

•     Data Sanitization

•     Output Escaping

• Htmlspecialchars :

• The htmlspecialchars() function converts some predefined characters to HTML entities.

• HTML entities

• The htmlentities() function converts characters to HTML entities.

• Strip_tags

• The strip_tags() function strips a string from HTML, XML, and PHP tags.

• Note: HTML comments are always stripped. This cannot be changed with the allow parameter.

• Note: This function is binary-safe.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   

Trim()

The trim() function removes whitespace and other predefined characters from both sides of a string.

ltrim() - Removes whitespace or other predefined characters from the left side of a string

rtrim() - Removes whitespace or other predefined characters from the right side of a string

Change an HTML5 input's placeholder color with CSS

There are three different implementations: pseudo-elements, pseudo-classes, and nothing.

• WebKit, Blink (Safari, Google Chrome, Opera 15+) and Microsoft Edge are using a pseudo-element: ::-webkit-input-placeholder. 
• Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 is using a pseudo-class: :-moz-placeholder (one colon). 
• Mozilla Firefox 19+ is using a pseudo-element: ::-moz-placeholder, but the old selector will still work for a while. 
• Internet Explorer 10 and 11 are using a pseudo-class: :-ms-input-placeholder. 

Internet Explorer 9 and lower does not support the placeholder attribute at all, while Opera 12 and lower do not support any CSS selector for placeholders.
The discussion about the best implementation is still going on. Note the pseudo-elements act like real elements in the Shadow DOM. A padding on an input will not get the same background color as the pseudo-element.

So we need separate rules for each browser. Otherwise the whole group would be ignored by all browsers.

::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit, Blink, Edge */
    color:    #909;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
   color:    #909;
   opacity:  1;
}
::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
   color:    #909;
   opacity:  1;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
   color:    #909;
}
::-ms-input-placeholder { /* Microsoft Edge */
   color:    #909;
}

<input placeholder="php999 is great!">

Edit an incorrect commit message in Git

Edit an incorrect commit message in Git

Amending the commit message

git commit --amend

Will open your editor, allowing you to change the commit message of the most recent commit. Additionally, you can set the commit message directly in the command line with:

git commit --amend -m "New commit message"

 

Make sure you don't have any working copy changes staged before doing this or they will get committed too. (Unstaged changes will not get committed.)

Changing the message of a commit that you've already pushed to your remote branch

If you've already pushed your commit up to your remote branch, then you'll need to force push the commit with

git push <remote> <branch> --force
# Or
git push <remote> <branch> -f

Warning: force-pushing will overwrite the remote branch with the state of your local one. If there are commits on the remote branch that you don't have in your local branch, you will lose those commits.
Warning: be cautious about amending commits that you have already shared with other people. Amending commits essentially rewrites them to have different SHA IDs, which poses a problem if other people have copies of the old commit that you've rewritten. Anyone who has a copy of the old commit will need to re-synchronize their work with your newly re-written commit, which can sometimes be difficult, so make sure you coordinate with others when attempting to rewrite shared commit history, or just avoid rewriting shared commits altogether.
