Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here 

is an example: "All PHP projects that use Composer have a file called composer.json at the root project."

A block of code is set as follows:

{
 "require": {
     "laravel/framework": "5.*.*",
 }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel chapter-01

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "

"Search for the chapter-01 folder, and click Open."
