Laravel Concepts Overview

A useful way to understand these Laravel concepts is by the role they play in the application, because several belong to MVC, several belong to Laravel's infrastructure, and others are architectural patterns that Laravel does not prescribe.

Laravel itself provides first-class implementations for many of these concepts, but things such as Services, Repositories, Actions, DTOs, Value Objects, and Concerns are primarily general PHP/software-design patterns rather than mandatory Laravel architecture. Laravel's core architecture heavily uses dependency injection through its service container. ([Laravel][1])

1. MVC and the HTTP request/response layer

These are the components closest to the classic Model–View–Controller structure.

Using Blade and Livewire/FLux in Craft 6 alpha

Task

In the context of a long-term project, considering moving a complex Laravel application to Craft 6, benefitting from stuff like multi-site, draft workflows for parts of content (the public facing website), while other content will continue to live in custom database tables.

The project has a significant amount of existing blade templates and relies heavily on Livewire/FLux for interactivity. The goal is to evaluate the feasibility of this migration and identify any potential challenges or benefits.

This is just a first look, just evaluating whether this path is still valid. Based on alpha 2 release, not yet stable.

Craft CMS 5 Content Storage Database Model

The central elements table

In Craft CMS 5, the elements table serves as the foundational registry for every piece of content and content-like object in the system. Rather than storing the actual content itself, it provides a unified identity layer that all element types—such as entries, assets, categories, users, and nested entries—inherit from.

Each row in the elements table represents a single element instance and contains core, globally relevant metadata that is independent of site, field layout, or element-specific attributes. This includes the element’s unique ID, its fully qualified class type (which determines behavior and capabilities), and system-level state flags such as whether the element is enabled, archived, or soft-deleted. It also tracks lifecycle timestamps like creation and last update dates.

The key architectural role of this table is to decouple identity and lifecycle management from both localization and content storage. Site-specific da
