Key differences between Laravel vs Codeigniter


Both Laravel vs Codeigniter are popular choices in the market; let us discuss some of the
major Difference Between Laravel vs Codeigniter:
·7 CodeIgniter does not support ORM while Laravel enables us as a developer to
take advantage of Eloquent object-relational mapping ORM. We can use the ORM
system to work with varieties of databases more efficiently by Active Record
implementation. Eloquent Object Relational Mapping further allows the
developer to interact with databases directly through the specific model of
individual database tables. A developer can even use the model to achieve
common tasks like inserting new records and running database queries.

·8 CodeIgniter does not provide any specific features to simplify database schema
migration. To do it required lots of efforts. Laravel makes it easy by the database
agnostic migrations feature provided by it. This makes easier for Developers to
modify and share the database schemas of the application without writing
complex code to perform this operation. We can further develop database schemas
of the application easily by combining the database agnostic migration with the
schema builder provided by Laravel Framework.

·9 CodeIgniter does not provide built-in template engine. The programmer needs to
integrate the framework with robust template engines like Smarty to do common
tasks and boost the performance of web applications. Laravel provides inbuilt
support robust template engine Blade. This template engine enables PHP
Developers to optimize the performance of the sites by enhancing and
manipulating various views

·10 CodeIgniter does not provide features to simplify development of REST APIs.
Developers have to write more code to create custom REST APIs while
developing web applications with CodeIgniter framework ,In the case of
Laravel .. RESTful Controllers provided by it enables Developers to build REST
APIs without putting extra time and efforts We can simply set the $restful
property as true in the RESTful Controller to build custom REST APIs without
writing extra code.

Conclusion – Laravel vs Codeigniter


As we saw both Laravel vs Codeigniter Frameworks and found that Laravel has more
features compared to CodeIgniter we can adopt Laravel in our web applications
development. While in case of our applications needs to supports interactions with
varieties of a database we go with CodeIgniter.
