Write code for a video sharing website using Laravel

Here is a basic outline of how you could implement a video sharing website using Laravel:

1. Create a new Laravel project using the Laravel installer or composer:

Copy codelaravel new my-project

2. Set up your database and configure your .env file with your database credentials.
3. Create a migration for the videos table:

Copy codeuse Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateVideosTable extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('videos', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('description');
            $table->string('video_url'); // This will store the URL of the video file
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('videos');
    }
}

4. Run the migration to create the videos table in your database:

Copy codephp artisan migrate

5. Create a Video model in the app directory:

Copy codenamespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Video extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['title', 'description', 'video_url'];
}

6. Create a VideoController in the app/Http/Controllers directory to handle HTTP requests for the videos:

Copy codenamespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Video;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class VideoController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $videos = Video::all();
        return view('videos.index', compact('videos'));
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return view('videos.create');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'description' => 'required',
            'video' => 'required|mimetypes:video/mp4,video/x-m4v,video/quicktime|max:10000' // Validate the uploaded video file
        ]);

        // Store the video file on disk
        $videoPath = $request->file('video')->store('videos');

        // Create a new Video instance
        $video = new Video([
            'title' => $request->input('title'),
            'description' => $request->input('description'),
            'video_url' => $videoPath
        ]);

        // Save the video to the database
        $video->save();

        return redirect()->route('videos.index');
    }

    public function show($id)
    {
        $video = Video::findOrFail($id);
        return view('videos.show', compact('video'));
    }

    public function edit($id)
    {
        $video = Video::findOrFail($id);
        return view('videos.edit', compact('video'));
    }

    public function update(Request $

Write code for the blade files

Here is an example of how you could create the blade templates for a video sharing website using Laravel:

1. Create a resources/views/videos directory and create the following blade templates:

• index.blade.php: This template will display a list of all the videos on the website.

Copy code@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <h1>Videos</h1>
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Title</th>
                <th>Description</th>
                <th></th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            @foreach ($videos as $video)
                <tr>
                    <td>{{ $video->title }}</td>
                    <td>{{ $video->description }}</td>
                    <td>
                        <a href="{{ route('videos.show', $video->id) }}">View</a>
                        <a href="{{ route('videos.edit', $video->id) }}">Edit</a>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            @endforeach
        </tbody>
    </table>
@endsection

• create.blade.php: This template will display a form for uploading a new video.

Copy code@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <h1>Upload a new video</h1>
    <form method="POST" action="{{ route('videos.store') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        @csrf
        <div>
            <label for="title">Title:</label>
            <input type="text" name="title" id="title" required>
        </div>
        <div>
            <label for="description">Description:</label>
            <textarea name="description" id="description" required></textarea>
        </div>
        <div>
            <label for="video">Video:</label>
            <input type="file" name="video" id="video" required>
        </div>
        <button type="submit">Upload</button>
    </form>
@endsection

• show.blade.php: This template will display a single video and its details.

Copy code@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <h1>{{ $video->title }}</h1>
    <div>
        <video src="{{ Storage::url($video->video_url) }}" controls></video>
    </div>
    <p>{{ $video->description }}</p>
@endsection

• edit.blade.php: This template will display a form for editing a video.

Copy code@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <h1>Edit video</h1>
    <form method="POST" action="{{ route('videos.update', $video->id) }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        @csrf
        @method('PATCH')
        <div>
            <label for="title">Title:</

Complete the code

Here is the rest of the code for the blade templates for the video sharing website using Laravel:

Copy code<div>
    <label for="title">Title:</label>
    <input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{{ $video->title }}" required>
</div>
<div>
    <label for="description">Description:</label>
    <textarea name="description" id="description" required>{{ $video->description }}</textarea>
</div>
<div>
    <label for="video">Video:</label>
    <input type="file" name="video" id="video" accept="video/*">
</div>
<button type="submit">Update</button>
</form>
@endsection

You can also create a layout template that defines the common structure for all your views, such as a header and footer. For example, you could create a resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php template:

Copy code<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Video Sharing Website</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <nav>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="{{ route('videos.index') }}">Videos</a></li>
                <li><a href="{{ route('videos.create') }}">Upload</a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
    </header>
    <main>
        @yield('content')
    </main>
    <footer>
        Copyright &copy; {{ date('Y') }}
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

Finally, you will need to define the routes for your application in the routes/web.php file:

Copy codeRoute::get('/videos', 'VideoController@index')->name('videos.index');
Route::get('/videos/create', 'VideoController@create')->name('videos.create');
Route::post('/videos', 'VideoController@store')->name('videos.store');
Route::get('/videos/{video}', 'VideoController@show')->name('videos.show');
Route::get('/videos/{video}/edit', 'VideoController@edit')->name('videos.edit');
Route::patch('/videos/{video}', 'VideoController@update')->name('videos.update');

This should give you a basic video sharing website using Laravel. Of course, you can customize and extend this implementation to meet your specific needs.

Complete the code for the controllerHere is the complete code for the VideoController in Laravel:Copy codenamespace App\Http\Controllers;use App\Video;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;class VideoController extends Controller{ public function index() { $videos = Video::all(); return view(‘videos.index’, compact(‘videos’)); } public function create() { return view(‘videos.create’); } public function store(Request $request) { $request->validate([ ‘title’ => ‘required’, ‘description’ => ‘required’, ‘video’ => ‘required|mimetypes:video/mp4,video/x-m4v,video/quicktime|max:10000’ // Validate the uploaded video file ]); // Store the video file on disk $videoPath = $request->file(‘video’)->store(‘videos’); // Create a new Video instance $video = new Video([ ‘title’ => $request->input(‘title’), ‘description’ => $request->input(‘description’), ‘video_url’ => $videoPath ]); // Save the video to the database $video->save(); return redirect()->route(‘videos.index’); } public function show($id) { $video = Video::findOrFail($id); return view(‘videos.show’, compact(‘video’)); } public function edit($id) { $video = Video::findOrFail($id); return view(‘videos.edit’, compact(‘video’)); } public function update(Request $request, $id) { $request->validate([ ‘title’ => ‘required’, ‘description’ => ‘required’, ‘video’ => ‘nullable|mimetypes:video/mp4,video/x-m4v,video/quicktime|max:10000’ // Validate the uploaded video file (if any) ]); $video = Video::findOrFail($id); // Update the video attributes $video->title = $request->input(‘title’); $video->description = $request->input(‘description’); if ($request->hasFile(‘video’)) { // Delete the old video file Storage::delete($video->video_url); // Store the new video file on disk $videoPath = $request->file(‘video’)->store(‘videos’); // Update the video URL $video->video_url = $videoPath; } // Save the changes to the database $video->save(); return redirect()->route(‘videos.show’, $video->id); }}This controller includes actions for displaying a list of videos, uploading a new video, viewing a single video, editing a video, and updating a video. It also includes validation rules for the form inputs and handles storing and deleting the video files on disk using the Laravel Storage facade.onoja.stanleyugo@gmail.comAdd like and dislike function to the code To add a like/dislike function to your video sharing website, you can follow these steps:Create a migration to add a likes column to the videos table:Copy codeuse Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;class AddLikesToVideosTable extends Migration{ public function up() { Schema::table(‘videos’, function (Blueprint $table) { $table->integer(‘likes’)->default(0); }); } public function down() { Schema::table(‘videos’, function (Blueprint $table) { $table->dropColumn(‘likes’); }); }}Run the migration to update the videos table:Copy codephp artisan migrateIn the Video model, cast the likes attribute to an integer to ensure it is always stored as a number:Copy codenamespace App;use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;class Video extends Model{ protected $fillable = [‘title’, ‘description’, ‘video_url’, ‘likes’]; protected $casts = [‘likes’ => ‘integer’];}In the VideoController, add an action for increasing or decreasing the likes count for a video:Copy codepublic function like(Video $video){ $video->increment(‘likes’); return back();}public function dislike(Video $video){ $video->decrement(‘likes’); return back();}In the routes/web.php file, define routes for the like/dislike actions:Copy codeRoute::post(‘/videos/{video}/like’, ‘VideoController@like’)->name(‘videos.like’);Route::post(‘/videos/{video}/dislike’, ‘VideoController@dislike’)->name(‘videos.dislike’);In the show.blade.php template, add buttons for liking and disliking the video:Copy code@extends(‘layouts.app’)@section(‘content’) <h1>{{ $video->title }}</h1> <div> <video src=”{{ Storage::url($video->video_url) }}” controls></video> </div> <p>{{ $video->description }}</p> <div> <form method=”POST” action=”{{ route(‘videos.like’, $video->id) }}”> @csrf <button type=”submit”>Like ({{ $video->likes }})</button> </form> <form method=”POST” action=”{{ route(‘videos.dislike’, $video->id) }}”> @csrf <button type=”submit”>Dislike</button> </form> </div>@endsectionThis should allow users to like or dislike a video by clicking the corresponding button.

You can also add links for sharing on other social media platforms by using similar scripts and the appropriate share URLs for those platforms.Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the URLs and parameters used in the scripts depending on the specific requirements of the social media platforms you want to support. It is also a good idea to test the sharing functionality to make sure it works as expected.Regenerate response
