Overview of this book

Laravel is on the top when it comes to PHP frameworks. There are multiple reasons for this. One of this being that it can handle heavy data with ease. This makes a perfect choice when you are dealing with applications with video steaming. Laravel: Architect YouTube-like Platforms provides a step-by-step guide that will help you create your very own video sharing application much like YouTube and Vimeo right from scratch. We begin this course by setting up the required environment and tools to that we would require to complete our project. We then start by building components one-by-one. We start by creating the user account component that deals with authentication, account information and other essentials. We then move on to build the search components and channels. We will also learn how to include features like subscriptions, history page, like and dislike buttons, comment sections, and so on. Finally, we will learn how to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) for video transcoding and storage. By the end of this course you will have a solid platform that I will teach you to launch to production.

Upload Channel Cover and Avatar Image
In this section we will begin by getting our channel model and migration set up. After running our channel migration we are going to set up our channel settings page so that we can update our channels name, slug and description. We’ll then move on to uploading our cover and avatar image. Then we’ll finish up by getting our search functionality setup and building our own search component.
