Laravel Artisan
Laravel Artisan is a command-line interface (CLI) tool included with the Laravel PHP framework, designed to automate common development tasks and boost productivity. It provides a suite of built-in commands for tasks like database migrations, seeding, model generation, and queue management, while also allowing developers to create custom commands for project-specific needs.
Developers should use Laravel Artisan to streamline repetitive Laravel development workflows, such as generating boilerplate code (e.g., controllers, models, migrations) and managing application components efficiently. It is essential for Laravel projects to handle tasks like database schema changes via migrations, running scheduled jobs, and clearing caches, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
