Top 10 Laravel & MySQL Interview Questions (1–3 Years Experience)
Q1. What is route model binding in Laravel?
Ans. With implicit binding, a route like /posts/{post} with a Post $post type-hint automatically fetches the matching record and returns a 404 if it doesn’t exist. You can bind by another column with {post:slug}, or define explicit bindings with Route::model(). It removes a lot of repeated find() and null-check code from controllers.
Q2. What is mass assignment, and how do $fillable and $guarded protect against it?
Ans. Mass assignment means filling many model attributes at once, such as User::create($request->all()). If a user adds an extra field like is_admin, it could be saved by mistake. $fillable lists the fields that are allowed, while $guarded lists the ones that are blocked. Using validated data ($request->validated()) is the safest approach.
Q3. How do soft deletes work, and what is one common problem with them?
Ans. The SoftDeletes trait stores a deleted_at timestamp instead of removing the row, and normal queries skip those rows automatically. You can use withTrashed(), onlyTrashed(), restore() and forceDelete(). A common problem is a unique index (like email), which still blocks a new record because the soft-deleted row remains in the table.
Q4. What is a composite index in MySQL, and what is the leftmost prefix rule?
Ans. A composite index covers several columns, for example (country, city, name). MySQL can use it only from the left side, so filters on country or on country plus city work, but a filter on city alone cannot use it properly. Use EXPLAIN to check the key and rows columns, and avoid queries showing type: ALL, which means a full table scan.
Q5. What is the difference between paginate(), simplePaginate() and cursorPaginate()?
Ans. paginate() runs an extra count query and gives page numbers. simplePaginate() skips the count and offers only next and previous links. cursorPaginate() uses a cursor on an ordered column, which is faster on large tables and stays consistent when new rows are inserted, so it suits infinite scroll in mobile apps.
Q6. What is the difference between local and global scopes in Eloquent?
Ans. A local scope is a reusable query condition that you call on purpose, for example a scopePublished method used as Post::published()->get(). A global scope is applied automatically to every query of that model, such as filtering records by tenant, and it can be turned off with withoutGlobalScope() when needed.
Q7. What is the difference between INNER JOIN and LEFT JOIN?
Ans. INNER JOIN returns only rows that match in both tables. LEFT JOIN returns every row from the left table and fills the right side with NULL when there is no match. To find users with no orders, use LEFT JOIN and filter with WHERE orders.id IS NULL.
Q8. How does task scheduling work in Laravel?
Ans. You define scheduled tasks in code, in routes/console.php on Laravel 11 and later, or in app/Console/Kernel.php on older versions. The server needs only one cron entry that runs php artisan schedule:run every minute, and Laravel decides which tasks are due. Adding withoutOverlapping() stops a slow task from running twice at the same time.
Q9. How do you validate a unique field when updating a record, such as a user’s email?
Ans. A plain unique rule fails because it finds the user’s own existing record. Use Rule::unique('users', 'email')->ignore($user->id) so that the current record is skipped during the check.
Q10. How does the Bootstrap grid make a page responsive?
Ans. Bootstrap divides each row into 12 columns and applies different widths at different screen breakpoints. For example, col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4 shows one card per row on mobile, two on tablets and three on desktops, without writing custom media queries.
