// Can now run laravel web app using
php artisan serve
To connect to mySQL database:
I use mySQL workbench
Connect a connection
Create a database eg.
Add database details to .env file
Create model migration
php artisan make:model ListItem -m
// This creates a ListItem model (/app/Models)
// and a migration file (/database/migrations) where I can configure the table columns which will be created
php artisan migrate
//Migrate meaning create tables in connected database
Now my database looks like this , because there are multiple default tables
