Choosing between Laravel and Codeigniter is a very difficult choice, but as per my opinion, Laravel is a better framework than CodeIgniter majorly due to the coding pattern which is the most favored for its elegant look. Along with this, it also supports robust application development in no time.

Let's see why Laravel ..?

Support for PHP 7

Both Laravel and CodeIgniter framework support version 7 of PHP. But many developers have highlighted the issues faced by them while developing and testing CodeIgniter appl on PHP 7.

Built-in Modules

Laravel is designed with built-in modularity features. It enables developers to divide a project into small modules through the bundle. They can further reuse the modules across multiple projects. But CodeIgniter is not designed with built-in modularity features. It requires CodeIgniter developers to create and maintain modules by using Modular Extension additionally.

Database Scheme Development

CodeIgniter does not provide any specific features to simplify database schema migration. But the database agnostic migrations feature provided by Laravel makes it easier for programmers to modify and share the database schema of the application without writing complex code.
