• Step 2 — Configuring Database using Env File

Now create model and migration table

php artisan make:model Post -m

Next go to post migration table and paste below code

<?php

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

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('description');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}

Next go to Post model and paste below code

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

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

Now migrate the table run below command

php artisan migrate

Step 4 — Create Routes

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('add-blog-post-form', [PostController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('store-form', [PostController::class, 'store']);

Step 5 — Creating Controller

php artisan make:controller PostController -r

Go to your Post controller file and paste below code

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\Post;class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('add-blog-post-form');
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $post = new Post;

        $post->title = $request->title;
        $post->description = $request->description;

        $post->save();

        return redirect('add-blog-post-form')->with('status', 'Blog Post Form Data Has Been inserted');
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  int  $id
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }
}

Step 6 — Create Blade File For Form

add-blog-post-form.blade.php

Go to Resources/views/add-blog-post-form.blade.php and create this file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 8 Form Example Tutorial laravel Amit</title>
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">

</head>
<body>

<div class="container mt-4">

  @if(session('status'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        {{ session('status') }}
    </div>
  @endif

  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-header text-center font-weight-bold">
      Laravel 8 - Add Blog Post Form Example
    </div>
    <div class="card-body">
      <form name="add-blog-post-form" id="add-blog-post-form" method="post" action="{{url('store-form')}}">
       @csrf

        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Title</label>
          <input type="text" id="title" name="title" class="form-control" required="">
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
          <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Description</label>
          <textarea name="description" class="form-control" required=""></textarea>
        </div>

        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>    
</body>
</html>

Now refresh the Browser

php artisan serve

When you fire the above given url on browser, you will look like in the following image:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/add-blog-post-form
