Question

Laravel

To learn Laravel, is it necessary to know php completely or will the basics fit?

Answer 1

Practice shows that the basics are enough, you will understand along the way. When teaching juniors, I even force the transition to the framework so that best practices are taught right away.
The only thing to understand ahead of time with facades is to understand that the magic static methods of the framework are actually not static and it is better not to use them, but to choose explicit dependency injection. And quickly start writing tests, they help a lot at the learning stage.

Answer 2

And what is "to know php completely?" Remember by heart the entire implementation of standard functions? Or be able to write "Hello World"? To start working with a tool, you may not know it at all. To get started with modern php frameworks, it is recommended:
1. Be able to display Hello World in the browser using php
2. Know what OOP is in general terms
3. Read another article on programming paradigms, in particular about MVC
4. Surround yourself with docks, Obliquely view php. net, take a look at the Laravel docs, take a look at the Laravel API
5. Sit down and write your first project.
6. Never show this project to anyone and throw it in the trash when it's ready.
7. Based on the discarded project and the experience gained, start a new project.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 5 to 10 times.
9. You can start working with the framework...
