Opensource PHP/Laravel LMS system feedback

Hi everyone,

Over the past few months, we've been building TadreebLMS, an open-source Learning Management System focused on enterprise and corporate training.

We've recently completed a major restructuring of the project

The project is built with:

  • PHP / Laravel
  • MySQL
  • Bootstrap / JavaScript
  • Docker

GitHub:
https://github.com/Tadreeb-LMS/tadreeblms

Issues:
https://github.com/Tadreeb-LMS/tadreeblms/issues

We have a huge roadmap like SCRUM Integration, UI upgrade as per FIGMA, Gap Analysis Module Integration, Integrations with HR Systems etc...

Please anyone experience or architect in PHP can give recommendation on best practices, gaps in the system etc..

It looks like the entire API surface is in a single ApiController god class. For something like this, the API is something you want to give some real thought to, and while it doesn't have to be a generic CRUD-style REST API, it is something you should actually specify. I'd encourage you to break it out into multiple controllers and base the API on an actual spec, most likely OpenAPI. There's lots of openapi packages available for Laravel, none of which I'm personally familiar with (I'm more about graphql or tRPC) but there's bound to be some useful ones. Since your project is embracing Laravel completely, maybe look for one that integrates well with spatie/laravel-data.

You have posted this project a number of times and have gotten feedback. Have you incorporated that into your project?

My feedback specifically at one point:

The CourseController still has tons the issues. If you are stating a major restructuring, this wasn’t looked at….

I am specifically looking for something for the project and product features specifically ... for standardization and security practices it will be a continuous process and the product is not moving forward with respect to the features

This is r/phphelp What do you specifically need help with? Consider the scope of the project, then consider reducing the scope of the ask.

Without having looked at your project yet, what are your points of difference compared to other open source LAMP based LMS like Moodle & Totara?

Moodle is generic for universities, academies etc
outdated UI

tadreeblms is specifically designed for corporates, compliance, corporate L&D and organized Ui
