In this tutorial, we'll look at how to display a query log in Laravel. Let's have a look at the steps below:
Step 1: Create a new Laravel project using the following command
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Querylog
|
A new project will be created in your htdocs folder

Step 2: Create a new database using the SQL query below: CREATE DATABASE blog;
Create a database table named users, with columns for id, name, and address, and populate it with sample data

Step 3: Open your .env file and configure your database to connect your laravel application with the database. Set your DB_CONNECTION, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD
Step 4: Let's create a userController.php using the command

Paste the code below in your userController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
//import database class
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
class UserController extends Controller
{
//
function index()
{ DB::enableQueryLog(); // to enable query log
$query = DB::select("SELECT * FROM users");
$bb = DB::getQueryLog(); // get query logs from cache
$a= dd($bb);
return $query;
}
}
|
In this code, we have implemented DB::getQueryLog(); to get the query log from the cache
Step 5: Now, open your webb.php file and paste the following code
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('users', [UserController::class,'index']);
|
Step 6: To acquire the application url, use the command php artisan serve. Our query log is now public
