Between my actual studies I’ve made a small side-project, a lightweight CRM system with user authentication and role management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It built with PHP on Laravel, and it includes the basics for managing clients, projects, and tasks. The database tables (users, clients, projects & tasks) are connected through pivot tables, and both projects and tasks are organized by deadlines with status tracking. When you have logged in, you land on a dashboard where you can see urgent projects and summaries and stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laravel is a relatively heavy tool and a bit overkill for building this type of simple application, but its still a good exercise in creating a basic CRUD-application. For me it took some time to fully realize the MVC model and especially how Laravels internal routing works. I also used Vite for the frontend, and integrating the stylesheets from the development version into the production build required some tweaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used Laravel Breeze starter kit and added Spatie Laravel Permission -package to handle roles and permissions more easily(?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this was a fun project that let me dive deeper into backend development and relational databases. I have noticed that Laravel can feel a bit heavy for smaller apps, so next I\u2019m planning to do something similar with Python & Django\/Flask. Check online or Github-repo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
