By default, in our QuickAdminPanel we generate all models with soft-deleting feature, from experience with clients we know – it’s better to save that deleted data “just in case”, than feel sorry for some weird accident. But then there is a question of how to delete data in relationships?

There is one package that does wonderful job – generates PNG image with your DB schema, from your Laravel models. It’s called Laravel ER Diagram Generator by BeyondCode company. Installation of the package is easy and described in their Readme file, but I will recap with example.

Quite often after registration of new user we want to add them to our newsletter list. This article will show you how to do it with Mailchimp. For this example, we will use QuickAdminPanel-generated registration form, but you can do absolutely same thing with default Laravel Auth form.

Asked my Twitter followers earlier - what email provider they use for Laravel - here are the results.

I’m a new software engineering student, and I enjoy it. But I feel weird because I don’t actually « know » PHP or JS, I just know the way Laravel and Vue want me to use them. I suppose I « know » Java because all my classes are thought in it and we dive into the JDK and stuff.

Once you’ve created an application sooner or later you are going to get hit with a spam bot. It’s inevitable. On one of my projects the registration form got hit and I ended up with 17,000+ fake users and it was a pain to clean up.

At Spatie, we have been using Circle CI, Travis CI, Chipper CI, and other services for quite a while, but we couldn't find an exact fit for our cases.

Let’s start with the term “unit testing”.

# Introduction A question popping up every now and then is how to let users log in to separate (child) applications using a single account they own on a central application.

Just like that. Not only are you a coding wizard but a teleportation wizard too. You can do the exact same thing with controllers but with the other extension: This may be my favourite one. Gone are the days where you use a search engine to look up something specific in the Laravel documentation.

I've been writing and maintaining several larger-than-average web applications for years now. These are projects that take a team of developers to work on it for at least a year, often times longer. They are projects that take more than the well-known Laravel CRUD approach to stay maintainable.

I am looking to see if there are things I am not doing correctly. The best way to see that is to compare one's application to what would be considered by many the ideal application.

While working with Laravel, we often times forget that everything in Laravel is a class and it can be used as a POPO ( Plain Old PHP Object ). This is a simple trick that has made my life easier when working with Events and Listeners.

The keynote speaker at this year’s PHP Barcelona conference was Rasmus Lerdorf the creator of PHP and he gave an excellent talk about the history of PHP, PHP 7.4 & 8, career advice, motivation, burn-out and focusing on things that really matter.

Go is a statically typed and compiled language designed by Google. It is somewhat similar to C. However, it is packed with more goodies such as garbage collection, memory safety, structural typing and concurrency.

If you’ve tried to upgrade your Laravel applications to use MySQL 8, you might have run into the following error that left you scratching your head: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away The php.

Our new demo-project with shops map, managed by shop owners, so multi-tenant. Includes Google Maps API - for showing the map and auto-completing address with coordinates.

Mini demo-project to load Chart.js library and refresh chart every second with data from API.

One of our customers asked how to add a date from-to filter on top of a default datatable. So we created a demo-project and here I will explain how it works.

As the project name states, QuickAdminPanel is for building admin panels. But for a long time customers asked us to build at least some kind of front-end faced boilerplate.

Inside of QuickAdminPanel, we’re using popular Spatie Medialibrary package to store media files. By default, it doesn’t do any transformation to the original uploaded file, but it’s very easy to change.

Laracon EU is an amazing conference I had the pleasure of attending these past years. Last week the videos of the 2019 edition have been released. You can see them all in this handy playlist on YouTube. At the conference Marcel Pociot and I revealed Ignition and Flare. Relive that here:

One of the best talks from Laracon EU 2019. You’ve probably heard about XSS, SQL Injection, and RCE. In this talk we’ll exploit some commonly known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that can occur to a Laravel application running on a Linux based host.

The web version provides some of the same features found in the Tinkerwell App, including an HTTP and CLI session. You can also save your code and share it with others via a public URL.

Tweet – – twitter.com Thanks to the improved type variance in PHP 7.4, the `self` return type hint is now safe to use in a class that you expect to be overridden (happens a lot in the packages we create)Demo: https://t.co/7vRTaOwRhD RFC: https://t.co/1RpnFIjlKC#php pic.twitter.

Laravel roles and permissions are the most important part of any Laravel based web application in which you want to add restrictions to the usage of your application. If you google for Laravel Roles and Permissions, you will find a number of packages to add this kind of functionality.

Creating an application from scratch takes time. Creating the database schematic also takes time. And getting both right takes more time! Eventually you will come to relationships, or how a record is related to another.

What is a Laravel middleware? It is a feature in Laravel which provides a mechanism for filtering HTTP requests entering your application. This allows you to hook into Laravel request processing work flow to perform some kind of logic that decides how your application works.

I want my site to show as robindirksen.nl and not www.robindirksen.nl in the search results or ay other place, but how do you handle the removal of www in your application so you don't lose your visitors? There are a few ways how you can solve this.

The Laravel team released a minor version v6.7.0 this week, with the latest features, changes, and fixes for 6.x: The HasTimestamps concern has two new methods to return the qualified columns for created and updated timestamp columns: $model->getQualifiedCreatedAtColumn(); // i.e., users.

The Laravel team released a minor version v6.8.0 this week, adding useful test response updates, along with the latest features, changes, and fixes for Laravel 6.x: ArrayAccess on Responses Taylor Otwell Implemented ArrayAccess on JsonResponse and TestResponse classes.

By default, Laravel Eloquent models assume your table has timestamp fields – created_at and updated_at. But there’s plenty of things you can do to customize them or perform some interesting operations. Let’s take a look.

One of less-used functions in web-projects is ability for user to delete their account. In this article I will show three cases of how it can be done: block, hide and actually delete data.

I see performance optimization going around Eloquent and Database. But in modern API-first world there's another important metric to optimize for.

I’ve been listening to Laravel Snippet podcast by Taylor Otwell, and heard some news about upcoming Laravel 7, which I think is pretty important for blog readers to know. So, changes are coming to Auth scaffolding.

For new Laravel users, it’s often difficult to setup server and domain properly, especially with /public folder. This article will explain and try to help.

New demo-project where registered users can choose when to be notified - immediately, or once per day.

Laravel Stripe payment gateway has built a reputation of being easy-to-use for both developers and store owners. Because of great compatibility with Laravel, Stripe has become the go-to payment gateway for Laravel eCommerce stores.

Not sure if you've seen this Reddit weekly tradition. Though I think there shouldn't be shame in asking stupid questions at any time, not only within certain thread or once a week.

I've been trying to put together a package over the Christmas holidays that I'm probably going to be using in early 2020. I'm wondering if there's any of you that would be up for having a quick look over it or testing it out to catch any bugs before I bump it to v1.0.0.

The Laravel framework has a built-in Email Verification feature that allows a user to verify its email address. It also comes with a Middleware that protects routes against unverified users.

I've seen some tutorials suggest in the construct of the controller but this seems messy and some say in the model, but that seem like it would bloat the model and sooooo many articles on "how to return data to a view"

Evan You talks about the design philosophies or principles behind the changes that are coming in Vue 3.0 at VueConf Toronto 2019.

One of my applications deals with money and I want to be extra careful and take the right approach in dealing with calculations. However, during testing, I found a weird issue with PHP.

Would love to get some feedback and make sure I covered everything correctly.

Hi, I’m Valerio, software engineer from Italy and CTO at Inspector.dev. To be honest, I wasn’t an early adopter of local VMs as development environment (Docker, Vagrant, etc), mainly because I thought it took time to learn and I always have very limited free time.

VueJS is one of the hottest frameworks in frontend development right now, doubling its weekly download rate in 2019. The release of Vue3 early in 2020 should only increase its popularity.

Today, @can__vural, @szepeviktor and I are proud to announce the release of Larastan v0.5. You don't know what Larastan is? It's a console tool that adds static analysis to Laravel improving developer productivity and code quality.

So I've been learning about testing and have wanted to build a partial JSON API. I essentially have a posts model with a bunch of relationships, and want to use a vue component to use infinite scroll. Without testing this task would take me about an hour and a half.

A bit older (March 2019) Youtube playlist, which I found only now.

The most popular way of debugging in PHP is now available in JavaScript. dd was carefully crafted to simplify the debugging of your JavaScript code directly from your terminal. It was created and maintained by Nuno Maduro.

Your data model has started to stabilize and you're in a position to create a public API for your web app. You realize it's hard to make significant changes to your API once it's released and want to get as much right as possible up front. Now, the internet has no shortage on opinions on API design.

I'm getting my feet wet with Laravel and it is certainly a powerful framework, I'm working on my own little project but I am interested to see what the wider community, and especially the Reddit community have worked on. What laravel projects have you worked/are working on?

Pipedrive, like many startups, started with PHP-monolith which has since grown into legacy code that we are attempting to get rid of.

I’d like to show you a bug you may have in your own applications somewhere. Grab any Laravel app you have lying around and open a console. We’ll do this mainly with Tinker and it will work better if you have a database connection, but just a simple User model is sufficient.

This is a list of software (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) and other offerings that have free tiers for developers.

Quick video with a warning to "not trust" one shortcut method for Eloquent ordering.

Newly updated article: original from 2018, tutorial used package dimsav/laravel-translatable, which currently has new owner. Also our QuickAdminPanel was updated since then. But even for non-users of QuickAdminPanel, this article should be useful for multi-language projects with translations.

Upcoming Laravel 7 will contain Laravel Airlock - it provides a featherweight authentication system for SPAs and simple APIs. But you can test it now already.

This topic comes to Reddit once a month at least, but still useful for those who have not tried Vue (yet).

For many years we've relied on Travis to run the tests of our packages. For projects we used Circle CI. Recently we moved this responsibility from Travis and Circle CI to GitHub actions. In this blogpost I'd like to explain why and how we did this.

A few months ago I wrote a post on setting up zero downtime continuous deployment with Gitlab's free CI offering. Now that Github actions is out of beta I've moved most of my CI/CD pipelines over.

We are building a SPA (single page app) dashboard for a Coffee Company.This app will track sales per agent and show us a nice dashboard that the coffee company can use. This post picks up where Part II ended.

The latest release of Laravel, 6.10, adds two new validation rules: exclude_if and exclude_unless. They are a new type of validation rule that can completely exclude data from the request. These rules were added in PR #30835.

Hi. I've read over all the official Laravel documentation on setting up unit tests, as well as a number of other general posts on the subject. However, I have never programmed that way, so feel I would benefit a lot from looking over some actual applications that do a decent job at it.

This is an article on how to solve passing data arrays throughout your applications.

While working with reCAPTCHA and Laravel, I found no solution to easily validate reCAPTCHA requests, so I decided to build one myself. You can follow this article to write your own validator, so you can easily validate reCAPTCHAs.

Creating an API in Laravel was quite simple for me, but using it in React or any other Front end language proved to be a little time consuming owing to my lack of knowledge related to CORS. So CORS?

Have you ever stuck in a situation which a lot of parameters should be send to your API? and you must create tons of queries based on them? If your answer is yes, do not stop reading!

Recently, we try to develop many different websites of same nature, i.e, the websites have the almost same features, same business logic, same UI flow. But, UI is so different in background image, css and labels and many others.

Laravel macros are a way to extend Laravel core classes, without writing our own class. In other words, it allows us to add new methods to the core Laravel classes. In this discussion, we will look at one of the several practical scenarios, where I use Laravel macro at my work.

Datatables are powerful to list the data, but adding some colors would help users to visually filter data better. One of the most common examples is to view status of the record, with some background color. This article will show you how.

When creating an application or API endpoint, one of the most often neglected part is validation on the request. After all, why bother adding limitations if it is already working as intended? However, neglecting this part might cause more problem down the road.

In this tutorial we will go over Example of Multi Page / Step Form in Laravel with Validation. This tutorial does not use any javascript component to create multi step form. Instead we will create multiple form pages and will use Laravel session to save the intermediate data.

After the huge success of my first course (thank you so much to this community for sharing it!), I have now recreated the course for Laravel 6. It covers the new Laravel 6 authentication scaffolding and using gates to control the users.

I was recently assigned to as task to paginate our chat app and other pages that requires pagination. Pagination was great but we want to try something new and in our chat app it is a big no no.

Websockets are cool. They are really helpful if you want to show real-time activities from your users (or perhaps some queue jobs). Now, if you are afraid of the word “Websockets”, don’t be.

A problem I see frequently on the Laracasts Forum is people struggling with the Javascript required to create dynamic cascading dropdowns. A cascading dropdown uses one form input select box to determine the list presented by a second select.

In this video I show you how to run PHPUnit tests using PhpStorm. These include an entire test suite, a directory of tests, all the tests in a single test class, and individual tests. I also show you how to run tests in debug mode, where you can set break points so that you can step through and debu

I have been using Laravel jobs and queues for a few years now. When I first started using them, it felt really hard, I couldn’t wrap my head around these concepts, the way we structure web apps that rely heavily on them seems a little bit strange, if not overly complex.

What is SOLID? As a software developer, we always need to deal with changes in requirements or a new feature in the middle of development or some extension on a feature in the maintenance phase. It is important to write code that’s easy to extend and maintain and make our life less painful.

Do you know we can fire specific event from model without passing data from controller ? In this tutorial i am going to show you how we can do it without passing data from controller. Suppose, let think when new user is created then we will fire a event.

As you know, PHP converts query string (in the URL or body) to an associative array inside $_GET or $_POST. For example: ?foo=bar becomes Array([foo] => “bar”). The query string parsing process removes or replaces some characters in the argument names with an underscore.

There’s a particularly unpleasant type of programmer that exists, and you’ve probably met him, either online or in person. I call him PHPStorm Man. NB: Despite the name I’ve chosen, I’m not singling out users of PHPStorm in particular about this.

There’s this little trick in PHP that I got to know about today. The trick basically is, you can loop through all the class properties having the “public” visibility just by iterating over the class object using loop construct such as foreach.

One of the most common things I find when inheriting a code base or talking to developers, is that their controllers are way too bloated and cause headaches. API endpoints become more complex. Logic is added, amended, removed, commented out.

Filtering your Models in Laravel is a common question, and often comes with a lot of "enthusiasm" from each side. All have their valid reasons to be used. However my method is a little "different" let's say.

This is a step by step configuration guide that aims to help to understand how broadcasting with Redis and Socket.IO works. We are going to cover internal mechanics of each of the components, and following the theory implement the configuration.

Laravel Collections is one of the most powerful features of Laravel. Basically, collections are PHP arrays but it’s an Object Oriented approach to deal with PHP arrays.

A data structure is a way of organizing data in some way so that it can be used effectively. This includes, but is not limited to making it easy to access and update the data. The concept of data structures is one that every programmer should aim to be conversant with.

As a part of our QuickAdminPanel, we also generate APIs. But your goal is also to provide documentation for front-end who would consume that API, right? OpenAPI (ex. Swagger) is a well-known standard for that. How to apply it to a Laravel project?

When we say Datatables, we mostly assume it’s a table with data. Text-based data – like name, email, description, and buttons to edit/delete. But in reality, it’s more convenient to have more complex data in one cell. Let’s take a look at how to build it.

Laravel macro is a cool feature for extending the laravel core classes.

Many web applications require users to verify their mobile numbers before using the application.

Enums are still lacking in PHP, yet there is clean way to have enum-like behaviour in your code bases, without using external dependencies. Take the example of date range boundaries: its boundaries can be included or excluded. Here's how a Boundaries enum would be used:

Today we, JetBrains, turn 20 years old! Yet our passion and exuberance for the world of software development is just as strong as ever. We are still learning every day, and we are curious about what the future holds.

Normally, if you want to run a task and don't want the user to wait until it's done you'd dispatch a queued job. However, sometimes that task is really simple and short that putting it in a queue might be an overkill. Using Laravel, you can run such tasks after sending the response to the user.

We will start very simple with PhpStorm and default PHPDoc, then we will increase the complexity step by step until we have auto-completion for array keys directly from the database with generics, immutable and type safety support.

CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) are the basic operations of data storage, and one of the first things you learn as a Laravel developer. But what happens when you add a Vue.

When developing a Laravel web application it can often start out quite simple, but can grow in complexity over time. This complexity can also end up being reflected in your tests.

I just got my first PR merged into Laravel! It adds the option for shallow resource routes. You can see the PR here. Without any knowledge of Laravel internals this feature took me about an hour to develop.
