How it Works: Laravel Eloquent ORM

Instructor: Matthew Machuga

Laravel's Eloquent object-relational mapper (ORM) is one of the most-loved features of the framework. Eloquent makes it easy to connect to relational data in a database and work with it using Object-Oriented models in your Laravel app. It is simple to setup, easy to use, and packs a lot of power.

In this coffee break course, we'll take a look at relationships in Eloquent. You'll learn how to use relations, how they translate into SQL queries, and explain some of the magic that Laravel does behind the scenes.
