I am new to laravel and but know core PHP well. And I am decided to create a project in laravel. So I started studying laravel. while I research about laravel, laravel community says that laravel 5.1 has Long term support(LTS). Now I confused which version want to use. Give me suggestions about which one want to use.
#Gowtham I reccommend to go for 5.3 version. because of realy specious features like
Laravel Scout: is a driver based full-text search for Eloquent
Laravel Mailable :is a new Mail class for sending emails in an expressive way.
Laravel Notifications : awesome feature which allows you to make quick updates through services like Slack, SMS, or Email.
Laravel Passport : Another superb feature . It is an optional package that is a full oAuth 2 server ready to go.
There are lot more which will curious you to go for 5.3 version.

I have an existing laravel project with AlpineJS. I wanted to integrate authentication but not able to find a proper solution having in mind I DONT USE VUE. I have done this with Vue but just wanted to know if there's an updated guide for Laravel with Alpine JS. I tried to look into documentation but wasnt able to find something related.
composer require laravel/ui
php artisan ui:auth
Do I still need to do this? Any suggestions for best practices?
Alpine is just a lightweight framework for DOM manipulation, it's not going to provide any authentication functionality alone so you will need to add something to your project.
If you're wanting to add authentication to your application, you'll want to consider something like Laravel Fortify which is a headless front end agnostic authentication solution. There are starter kits such as Breeze or Jetstream, however, adding either of these boilerplate start kits to existing projects can have issues. Some people recommend starting a new project, installing one of them and them porting your existing functionality across (this will obviously depend on the scale of your project).
I am a student and I'm making a project, an application which will show data to users on web end and also on android application. but I am confuse which one to choose for backend development, Laravel or Lumen ? My application will have signup function and displayed data from mysql against search queries. There will be 4 to 5 tables and multiple columns in each table. also images to show. So which one I should choose?
From what you have described so far Laravel seems like a perfect fit. Start off with laravel, if you need more speed and a framework focused towards building web services give lumen a try. If you haven't worked with PHP or any other backend app before, go with vanilla PHP.
Goodluck with the app!
If you only need to build an API use Lumen, otherwise Laravel
Well, I recommend Laravel rather than Lumen (Frankly speaking, CI framework may be more suitable, which is simpler and friendly to new user). About 1.5 years ago, I experienced the same dilemma, just like you. For lacking of enough document, I have to migrate my project from Lumen to Laravel when I came across some problems.
This may silly question. But I am going to start new project. I am quite confused which framework is best out of Codegniter 3 and Laravel 5.
What is the main difference between them.
Thanks in Advance
Right now, I personally prefer Laravel since it supports PHP7 unlike CodeIgniter (I still haven't read if CodeIgniter 3 supports PHP7). And based on personal experience, Laravel (through Eloquent) has "beautifully-written-codes".
Here are some references for you to check out: (I made sure to post both sides to not be bias)

Each framework have their own features and capabilities, used during the development of application. Laravel is one of the highly used, open-source modern web application framework that designs customized web applications quickly and easily.Laravel is used not only for big project but also best to use for small project.
Best framework in 2018
If you want a framework with exceptional performance, with nearly no configuration, not using cmd and not interested with large scale libraries and also your project is in small scale it's better to use codeIgniter.
CodeIgniter3 vs Laravel5
Both framework are good in there place.
Laravel made from multiple open source project which make laravel more efficient , reliable and secure.
Where, laravel used blade engine.
It used composer for package manager.
It provide unit testing.
It provide more security.
It provide beautiful redis queue front portal called laravel horizon.
Disadvantage : laravel used predis which is slower, because it is written in php.where phpredis is more faster, but laravel 5.* Don't support it.
I will recommend you to use Laravel beacuse of:
Built in authentication
Awesome migrations
Artisan commands to do anything in your project
Built in pagination (It's took long in Codeigniter)
Eloquent (Very easy way to interact with your database)
Relationships
Routes
Easy API building
Easy debugging
Huge number of packages and libraries etc.
as described at the Laravel documentation, the official form builder is not supported anymore since Laravel 5.0. I need to build a multi page form in my Laravel project. What is the best practice how to do that? Because it's a new project, I don't think it's best practice to use the class from Laravel Collective.
Laravel doesn't come with all packages that are available in the world, doesn't mean you shouldn't freely use whatever package that you need and does the job.
So, unless you are ready to re-invent the wheel and re-implement the forms package then use the already existing and well tested package from Laravel Collective.
I'm trying to integrate the Quickbooks Online API into Laravel 5. I've got the code working outside of Laravel using the Consolibyte package. But its written in what I'll call a classic PHP style - meaning there are a number of REQUIRE_ONCE files etc. I'm sure I can crank through and integrate it all, but in the interest of saving time, I'm wondering if anyone else knows of a package for Laravel 5 which already does this?
Ultimately I need to be able to create Customers, Vendors and Invoices. Don't really need the rest of the functionality that the Consolibyte package uses (which is a great package by the way).
If you're using this code:
https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php
You only need to require one file. There's no real work required to get this working in Laravel. Just do this in your Laravel app:
require_once './QuickBooks.php';
And you're done.
For anyone else looking to solve this problem, this obscure blog post will save your life. It's a lot to post here, but he essentially uses the consolibyte/quickbooks-php, but wraps it up in creamy Laravel goodness so you can see the "under the hood" objects you need to set up so that you don't break the framework.
I followed the instructions, with some alterations for my app, and it authorized first try (Laravel 5.2).
It's not perfect, but it's as clean as you can get for Laravel right now.
Major props to both the article writer Pawan and the package author Keith Palmer Jr!
You can use this one instead its fully enabled to be installed by composer in Laravel or Yii2. I installed it in Yii2.
https://github.com/beanworks/quickbooks-online-v3-sdk install quickbooks from this url and then use the below url to implement oauth
https://github.com/IntuitDeveloper/oauth-php
You can easily make routes for oauth steps involved and there are samples in the later repo which can be used to learn how to post and query objects from quickbook.
