Welcome to Filmlog, a comprehensive movie tracker built on Laravel 9. This README provides a structured step-by-step guide to help you set up and enjoy the application.

Download & Extract: Download the archive and extract all its contents into the directory of your website where you wish to host Filmlog. Navigate to Directory: Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you've extracted the contents.

Composer Packages:

• Run the command composer install to install all necessary Composer packages.

Node Packages:

• Execute npm install to install all Node packages.
• Follow it up with npm run dev to build them.

1. Environment File: Create a copy of the .env.example file and rename it to .env.
2. OMDb API Key: Obtain an OMDb API Key from https://www.omdbapi.com and set it in the .env file as the OMDB_API_KEY value.
3. Database Setup:
   • If you haven't already, create a new database for the application. It's recommended to use utf8mb4_unicode_ci as the database collation.
   • Update the .env file with your database credentials.
4. Migrations: Run the command php artisan migrate to set up the database structure.
5. Application Key: Generate a unique application key by executing php artisan key:generate.

1. Document Root: Ensure the public folder is set as your root directory. If you're running the application locally, this step might not be necessary. However, if you're using a web host, update the document root from CURRENT_PATH to CURRENT_PATH/public.
2. Local Hosting: If you're hosting the application locally, run php artisan serve to start it.
3. Deployment Considerations: When deploying to a public domain:
   • In your .env file set APP_ENV=production and APP_DEBUG=false

Now that you've successfully set up Filmlog, dive in and enjoy tracking your favorite movies!

If you want more, create a .env.testing file, based on your .env file - consider to change your database configuration to not overwrite your existing database.

Then run your tests with the command php artisan test.
