This is my contribution to BlogMVC.com using Laravel 5.4. I used this project to learn the framework so if you think some patterns are not respected please create an issue :).
composer install
php artisan key:generate # Edit your .env
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed # fill the database with some data
php artisan serve # http://localhost:8000/
I wrote a test for the counter cache that can be accessed using
./vendor/bin/phpunit
