To create the models and migrations for the provided MySQL schema in Laravel 11, you can follow these steps.
Step 1: Create Migrations
You can create migrations using the Artisan command. For example, to create a migration for the users table, you would run:
php artisan make:migration create_users_table
Repeat this for each table. Below are the migration files based on your SQL schema.
Migration for Users Table
// database/migrations/2025_02_01_000001_create_users_table.php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id('User Id');
$table->string('Username', 50)->unique();
$table->string('PasswordHash', 256);
$table->string('Email', 100)->unique();
$table->foreignId('RoleId')->nullable()->constrained('roles', 'RoleId');
$table->timestamps(0); // CreatedAt and UpdatedAt
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
}

$table->id('NotificationId');
$table->foreignId('User Id')->constrained('users', 'User Id');
$table->string('Message', 256);
$table->boolean('IsRead')->default(false);
$table->timestamps(0); // CreatedAt
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('notifications');
}
}
Step 2: Create Eloquent Models
You can create models using the Artisan command. For example, to create a model for the User, you would run:
php artisan make:model User
Repeat this for each table. Below are the Eloquent models based on your SQL schema.
User Model
// app/Models/User.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'users';
protected $primaryKey = 'User Id';
protected $fillable = ['Username', 'PasswordHash', 'Email', 'RoleId'];
}
Role Model
// app/Models/Role.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Role extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'roles';
protected $primaryKey = 'RoleId';
protected $fillable = ['RoleName'];
}
Post Model
// app/Models/Post.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'posts';
protected $primaryKey = 'PostId';
protected $fillable = ['Title', 'Content', 'User Id'];
}
Comment Model
// app/Models/Comment.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Comment extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'comments';
protected $primaryKey = 'CommentId';
protected $fillable = ['PostId', 'User Id', 'Content'];
}
Category Model
// app/Models/Category.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Category extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'categories';
protected $primaryKey = 'CategoryId';
protected $fillable = ['Name'];
}
Tag Model
// app/Models/Tag.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Tag extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'tags';
protected $primaryKey = 'TagId';
protected $fillable = ['Name'];
}
Media Model
// app/Models/Media.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Media extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'media';
protected $primaryKey = 'MediaId';
protected $fillable = ['FilePath', 'PostId'];
}
Notification Model
// app/Models/Notification.php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Notification extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'notifications';
protected $primaryKey = 'NotificationId';
protected $fillable = ['User Id', 'Message', 'IsRead'];
}
Step 3: Run Migrations
After creating the migration files and models, you can run the migrations to create the tables in your database:
php artisan migrate
This will execute all the migration files and set up your database schema according to the provided MySQL structure. Make sure your database connection is properly configured in the .env file before running the migrations.
To create controllers for each model with complete CRUD operations in Laravel, you can use the Artisan command to generate resource controllers.
Step 1: Create Resource Controllers
You can create a resource controller for each model using the following command:
php artisan make:controller UserController --resource
php artisan make:controller RoleController --resource
php artisan make:controller PostController --resource
php artisan make:controller CommentController --resource
php artisan make:controller CategoryController --resource
php artisan make:controller TagController --resource
php artisan make:controller MediaController --resource
php artisan make:controller NotificationController --resource
Step 2: Implement CRUD Operations
Below are the basic implementations for each controller. You can expand these methods as needed.

// app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

}
Step 3: Define Routes
You will need to define routes for these controllers in your routes/web.php file. Here's an example of how to set up resource routes for all controllers:
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
use App\Http\Controllers\RoleController;
use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;
use App\Http\Controllers\CommentController;
use App\Http\Controllers\CategoryController;
use App\Http\Controllers\TagController;
use App\Http\Controllers\MediaController;
use App\Http\Controllers\NotificationController;
Route::resource('users', UserController::class);
Route::resource('roles', RoleController::class);
Route::resource('posts', PostController::class);
Route::resource('comments', CommentController::class);
Route::resource('categories', CategoryController::class);
Route::resource('tags', TagController::class);
Route::resource('media', MediaController::class);
Route::resource('notifications', NotificationController::class);
Step 4: Create Views

Creating a Dashboard Page
Creating a dashboard page in a Laravel application involves aggregating data from various models and displaying it in a user-friendly format. Below, I'll provide an example of how to create a dashboard view that consolidates data related to users, roles, posts, comments, categories, tags, media, and notifications.
Step 1: Create a Dashboard Route
First, you need to define a route for the dashboard in your routes/web.php file:
use App\Http\Controllers\DashboardController;
Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
Step 2: Create a Dashboard Controller
Next, create a controller for the dashboard:
php artisan make:controller DashboardController
Then, implement the index method to fetch the necessary data:
// app/Http/Controllers/DashboardController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\Role;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Comment;
use App\Models\Category;
use App\Models\Tag;
use App\Models\Media;
use App\Models\Notification;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class DashboardController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$userCount = User::count();
$roleCount = Role::count();
$postCount = Post::count();
$commentCount = Comment::count();
$categoryCount = Category::count();
$tagCount = Tag::count();
$mediaCount = Media::count();
$notificationCount = Notification::count();
return view('dashboard.index', compact(
'userCount',
'roleCount',
'postCount',
'commentCount',
'categoryCount',
'tagCount',
'mediaCount',
'notificationCount'
));
}
}
Step 3: Create the Dashboard View
Now, create the dashboard view file at resources/views/dashboard/index.blade.php:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<h1>Dashboard</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
<div class="card text-white bg-primary mb-3">
