Learn how to put your Laravel application into maintenance mode using the down command. This command creates a file called down in the designated storage path, signaling maintenance mode. Easily execute this command with php artisan down.

Learn how to use the env command in Laravel to retrieve the name of the current framework environment. The environment name is determined by the value set in the .env file, particularly the APP_ENV entry. Execute php artisan env to see the current environment.

Learn how to optimize your Laravel application's performance using the optimize command. This command offers two flags: --force, which writes the compiled class file even in debug mode, and --psr, which skips creating an optimized class map loader for better performance. The compiled files cache is written to bootstrap/cache/compiled.php. Examples of using the optimize command include generating a compiled class file with default options, excluding Composer autoload files, and running it on a development or debug machine. When using the --psr flag, the composer dump-autoload command is executed, while without it, composer dump-autoload -o is called.

Learn how to use the serve command in Laravel to run your application using the PHP development server. This command is particularly useful for development and testing purposes. You can customize the server address and port by using the optional host and port options. Note that when using HHVM, it must be at least version 3.8.0 to use the internal development server. Check out the examples provided to get started quickly.

Learn how to use the tinker command in Laravel to start an interactive language shell for your application. With the tinker command, you can include external files and autoloaders before the shell loads completely. Use exit to exit the shell.

To execute the command, you can use php artisan make:auth or php artisan make:auth --views to generate only the views.

Learn how to generate new command classes using the make:command command in Laravel. This command will create a new class in the app/Console/Commands directory based on the supplied name argument. You can also use the optional --command option to assign a terminal command name. In previous versions of Laravel (before 5.3), the command was named make:console. Check out the provided examples to see how to use the command for different scenarios, such as creating a command to quickly uninstall the application or generating a namespaced class.

The make:controller command in Laravel quickly generates a new controller class file in the specified directory.

The command can also generate namespaced classes by separating namespace sections using \ .

Learn how to generate a new event class using the make:event command in Laravel. This command requires the name parameter, which will be the name of the new class. By default, the generated classes will extend the App\Events\Event class. However, please note that this may vary if the root namespace of the application has been changed. Find an example of creating a new OrderWasCanceled event class and its file location. Keep in mind that this command does not update the $listen mappings in the app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php service provider.

The make:job command in Laravel is used to create a new job class. You need to provide a name for the class and file. By default, the created job is asynchronous, but you can make it synchronous by using the --sync flag. Job classes are stored in the app/Jobs directory. Synchronous jobs do not implement the ShouldQueue interface. Namespaced classes can be generated by separating the namespace sections using \ in the job name. A nested directory will be created with the correct namespace for the class.
