Paginating our Course List
In this lesson, we'll transform our courses list endpoint into a pagination endpoint. We'll check and validate our query string for a page and per page parameter that we'll then use to fetch pages of our courses.



Creating, Updating, and Deleting Courses
In this lesson, we'll add endpoints to allow creating, updating, and deleting courses from our API. We'll then use this to stub a number of test courses to give us wiggle room to play with our pagination.



Listing Courses
Our goal in this step is to add an endpoint that lists our courses. We'll then build upon this endpoint further with the ultimate goal of getting a list of paginated courses.



API Authorization Checks
In this lesson, we'll implement our API Authorization checks across all the API controller methods we've implemented thus far. We'll then create a specific access token for each operation (read, create, update, and delete) to ensure everything is working.



Status API CRUD
In this lesson, we'll duplicate everything we did one more time for our organization's statuses.



Access Level API CRUD
In this lesson, we'll walk through adding API endpoints for the full CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) flow for our organization's access levels.



Deleting A Difficulty
The last CRUD method we need to add is the ability to delete our a difficulty by adding a DELETE API route, we'll take care of that in this lesson.



Updating A Difficulty
In this lesson, we'll add a PUT API route to handle updating our difficulties! This route will also accept in a specific difficulty id via route parameter to specify which difficulty should be updated.



Getting A Specific Difficulty
In this lesson, we'll add a GET API route enabling us to get the details of a specific difficulty by providing the difficulties id via route parameter.



Creating Organization Difficulties
Next, we'll add a POST route and handler so that we can create difficulties from our API



Listing Organization Difficulties
In this lesson, we'll begin work on our first CRUD-based API resource by adding the ability to query a list of all our organization's difficulties.

Querying Recently Released and Coming Soon Movies
In this lesson, we'll learn how to use the Model Query Builder to query our movies that have been recently released. We'll then do a separate query to get movies that are coming soon.


Tapping into Model Factory States
In this lesson, we'll dive a little bit deeper into Model Factories by introducing factory states. We'll also learn how we can use the tap method to alter a factory result prior to it persisting into the database


Generating A Unique Movie Slug With Model Hooks
In this lesson, we'll learn how we can use Model Hooks to generate a unique URL-safe slug based on the movie's title.


SQL Parameters and Injection Protection
In this lesson, we'll learn about SQL Parameters, also called query bindings, and how using them helps safeguard our database from malicious attacks attempting to perform SQL Injection.


Reusable Query Statements with Model Query Scopes
In this lesson, we'll learn about Model Query Scopes and how we can use them to create easily reusable query statements that we can apply using the Model Query Builder.


Adding A Profile Model, Migration, Factory, and Controller
Uh oh, a new requirement has come in and now we also need to account for user profiles! In this lesson, we'll learn how we can easily create a new model, migration, factory, and controller for an entity in one fell swoop!


Querying Our Movies with the Query Builder
In this lesson, we'll introduce both the database and model query builder. We'll learn the differences between the two and the basics of how to use them.


Unmapped and Computed Model Properties
In this lesson, we'll learn how to add unmapped and computed properties to our Lucid Models. We'll discuss the differences between a model column, unmapped property, and a computed property.


Altering Tables with Migrations
In this lesson, we'll learn how to alter our database tables using migrations both while in development, where we can delete our data, and once our data has already hit production where we need to persist all data.


The Basics of CRUD
In this lesson, we'll walk through the basics of creating, reading, updating, and deleting (CRUD) data from our database using our Lucid Models.


Stubbing Fake Data with Model Factories
In this lesson, we'll learn how we can quickly and easily bulk-create dummy/fake data within our database for each of our Lucid Models using Model Factories


Defining Required Data with Seeders
Our database will have specific, non-changing, roles and movie statuses. In this lesson, we'll learn how we can quickly and easily create these records inside of our database using seeders.


Introducing Lucid Models
In this lesson, we'll introduce models using the Lucid ORM. We'll learn how we can map database columns to our model properties and specify special behavior for our date time columns.


Defining Our Models
In this lesson, we'll walk through the process of defining all our database tables and columns as models and properties within our application.


The Flow of Migrations
In this lesson, we'll learn about the various migration-based commands made available by the Ace CLI and how they interact with our migration files. We'll use these commands to run, rollback, and refresh our migrations against our database.


Introducing and Defining Database Migrations
In this lesson, we'll introduce database migrations. We'll learn what they are, why they're great to have, and how we can create and use them to define our database tables and their columns.


Configuring Lucid and our Database Connection
In this lesson, we'll learn how we can configure Lucid to use a different driver other than SQLite; PostgreSQL is shown but MySQL and MSSQL are much the same. Then, we'll set up our connection details so that we can successfully connect to our database.


Understanding our Database Schema
In this lesson, we'll walk through how to understand a database schema diagram. We'll then discuss the schema we'll be working with throughout this series; describing the tables, columns, data types, and relationships.


Defining A Structure for our Movie using Models
In this lesson, we'll introduce the concept of models by using one to define the properties our movies should contain. We'll then stub some methods that will mock calls we'll later be able to use to load data from our database.


Model vs Database Query Builder
In this lesson, we'll take a look at the differences between the model and database query builders.
