Leaf Codelabs

We created Codelabs to give you interactive step-by-step real-world tutorials on Leaf, PHP and JS concepts that help you achieve specific results in your apps. Codelabs takes one topic or "how-to" and dives deep into it, giving you all the information you need to successfully complete the tutorial yourself while also explaining useful concepts along the way.

Codelabs vs the Docs

Codelabs are hands-on, standalone tutorials focused on specific Leaf features, unlike our docs, which follow a story-like flow. They dive deeper with complex examples that combine features in interesting ways that may not be fully covered in the docs.

While our documentation is beginner-friendly, we only have the space to cover PHP and general web concepts. Codelabs on the other hand will explain any concepts that are essential to that specific tutorial, eg: "how to update your Leaf app on DigitalOcean" will explain DigitalOcean, SSH, and Linux concepts necessary to complete the tutorial.

Experiments

We call a tutorial in Codelabs an "experiment". Each experiment is a standalone tutorial that focuses on a particular topic. It is interactive and in-depth, covering what is needed in full.

Below is a list of all experiments:

Topic	Description	Author
Deploying Leaf MVC to Digital Ocean	Deploying LeafMVC projects to a new Digital Ocean droplet	Matthew Reichardt

This list is still being updated.
