#Homestead Vagrant Box

#https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/homestead
#must install VirtualBox 5.1, VMWare, or Parallels as well as Vagrant.
vagrant box add laravel/homestead
#better to run homestead in sepearate folder so you can run 
cd proper-directory
# clone inside new homestead folder
git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git homestead 
cd homestead
bash init.sh
#Do not forget to edit Homestead.yaml to load the proper folder data,
#to add your sites and to add the database name
#folders:
#    - map: ~/webdesign
#      to: /home/vagrant/webdesign

#sites:
#    - map: homestead.app

#choice 3 for virtualbox
#edit /etc/host to add domains
#Homestead
#192.168.10.10  homestead.app
#192.168.10.10  site.dev
# or with vagrant hostmaster and making it work for Homestead by adding:

#Install Laravel
composer global require "laravel/installer"
# change to ~/valet or another directory for app development like ~/Code
cd ~/valet-directory 
laravel new app
cd app
#create an eloquent model, controller and migration
php artisan make:model Post -mc
#before any migration create a database 
# Sequel Pro works really well for this on OSX
#and edit .env using something like
#DB_CONNECTION=mysql
#DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
#DB_PORT=3306
#DB_DATABASE=blog
#DB_USERNAME=root
#DB_PASSWORD=
#for homestead it will be different
#DB_CONNECTION=mysql
#DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
#DB_PORT=3306
#DB_DATABASE=blog
#DB_USERNAME=homestead
#DB_PASSWORD=secret
php artisan migrate
