Wouldn’t it be nice if you don’t have to declare the class property over and over again just to use it across the class? Currently, you’d do it by first declaring it… So, a class with properties declared would look like so.

This is not just another story about a tool to look cool. So let us talk about why would one use Docker when there are other options such as Xampp, Vagrant and many more. The most common explanation for Docker on Wikipedia is:

PHP 8 will be released on . It’s a new major version, which means that it will introduce some breaking changes, as well as lots of new features and performance improvements. PHP 8 is in very active development right now, with its first alpha expected on June 18, 2020.

Laravel’s Eloquent offers a bunch of default model events out of the box. However, it also offers the possibility to define and listen to our custom events. Let’s see how! Model events are providing a good spot to react to the different states of our models.

Here is the user story for this post: As a website owner I only want to allow access to my website for visitors who enter the correct PIN. When you enter the page for the first time, you will just see an input to enter a PIN.

Often I had a situation where my Apps had to generate a JSON file. For example, I'd write a CLI App for package development. This package had to write JSON pretty formatted to the generated composer JSON. This snipped will give you a $json Variable, which you can print to a file without any stress.

GitHub Actions allows you to execute some commands when a GitHub event is triggered. For example you can automate the execution of unit tests on your code base when you push your code in the repository.

Laravel Intellisense is a Visual Studio Code plugin by Mohamed Benhida that provides some nice auto-completion for things like Eloquent models, factories, config, and API resources.

So to keep it short, we never wrote unit tests in the office because we test our software thoroughly as we develop it.

A new tool from Marcel Pociot.

As we all know, Laravel provided Str helper to produce a UUIDv4. However, UUID is not the default primary key they use in their Eloquent. We must implement it ourselves. In this article, I will share how use that helper to generate ID (primary key) in Eloquent automatically.

The Spatie team released two new packages around scheduled tasks: the laravel-cronless-schedule package and laravel-short-schedule. While these packages have different use-cases, we thought they were related enough to share them in one post.

Refactoring is important in programming things.It is a process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior. It makes code more readable, structured and easy to process.

Laravel provides a huge set of built-in validation rules, which are often enough for most projects, but sometimes there are not trivial tasks. Fortunately, Laravel allows you to describe custom rules. In this article, I’m going to show you how to create a rule for video validation.

Artisan is a frequently used command-line interface that comes with Laravel which provides a set of commands that are helpful while building your application. Let’s say you want a command to automatically email getting started guide link to users 1 day after registration.

In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at Method Chaining in PHP. Method Chaining is nothing but the concatenation of multiple methods to increase readability of code and avoid putting all the code in the single function.

In this article, I’ll show you a nice trick on how you can reduce the complexité of the route file and make it more readable. So to start refactoring our route file we need to create two files inside the routes folder: agency.php and freelancer.php. then I will move each role route to its file.

Hi, I'm working on an app that tracks movies and TV shows you watched which I want to share. I used the IMDB dataset which includes nearly 93.289.030 combined rows of data. All data can be imported by a command. I also included search functionality based on Elasticsearch.

Sanctum is Laravel’s lightweight API authentication package. In this tutorial, I’ll be looking at using Sanctum to authenticate a React-based single-page app (SPA) with a Laravel backend.

Up until now, or precisely before PHP 8, whenever you were unsure about which type to use for the propperty or return type, you’d leave it without assigning any type. And if you’re using an IDE such as PhpStorm, the docBlock would mark those properties as mixed type like so.

Model View Controller (MVC) is one of the most popular software architecture in web development and is being adopted by major web frameworks like Laravel, Express and Rails. But why do we need it and what is it anyway? In short, to allow us to write more readable and maintainable code.

In this article, we will learn how to set up the Laravel development environment with Docker. We are going to use the Docker Compose to set up the development environment. Let’s start the steps without delay.

Laravel Eloquent when() method is crazy, say goodbye to if-else. Instead of using if and else conditionals, Eloquent provides a convenient method when(). For example, when we are filtering some table based on multiple conditions.

Give both a go. If you already use Telescope, I would recommend Telescope Toolbar to prevent overhead. Otherwise I still prefer Laravel Debugbar, but if you feel it’s too heavy, give Telescope Toolbar a try! Let me know if you have any improvements for Telescope Toolbar or (Laravel) Debugbar!

Yesterday, my client asked me how to change his user password to login into the Admin Dashboard. The Admin Dashboard itself was built with PHP Laravel. And the previous web developer didn’t build Change Password feature via Admin Dashboard.

When you start a new project, what's your usual flow? Do you first define models, controllers, routes...etc or do you first try to design what the page will look like and do the rest accordingly.

In this article we're going to explore how to order database queries by the value (column) of an Eloquent relationship. For example, maybe we want to order some users by the name of their company, which is in a separate companies table.

The CLI( Command Line Interface) is one of the best places to execute a long long-running task and Laravel has provided us with the Artisan Console that allows us to create our custom commands.

Product idea is really simple - you can set up a Thankbox (like an online card) for someone and share it within your group of friends to put messages, images, gifs and cash in it. You then send it to the recipient.

In this video, I'm showing how easy it is to generate a new model/controller/notification with a subfolder automatically.

Based on a few of your comments, improvements on an older Vue+Laravel demo-project from this Youtube channel: if we're doing multiple API calls in the same event, maybe it's better to use JavaScript promises?

And, if we have a few global variables, maybe it makes sense to use Vuex to store them?

If you have a field with a few value options, is it worth using ENUM, or is it better to have a "lookup table" with a foreign key? In fact, there's also a third option. Let's review them all in this video.

I've "silently" relaunched my Laraquiz website with question timer included (1 minute per question) and new theme CoreUI 3 instead of old AdminLTE 2. As the first quiz on the updated system, let's test your Laravel 7 knowledge. No registration needed.

Hi everyone. I have relesed new laravel dashboard preset built with tailwindcss

I started working with the Laravel HTTP client on a recent project and I had the debug bar package installed. I wondered if you could use the Laravel Debugbar to record how many api calls were being made and how long each was taking to run? I reached out to it’s creator, Barry vd.

Make any model likeable: use App\Contracts\Likeable

The Laravel Media Uploader package by Ahmed Fathy uploads files using Spatie’s media library package before saving a model. You can then attach uploaded media to the model in a controller:

A big part of my work involves writing effective report. The special thing about the reports I write is that they’re awfully dynamic. I attribute a large portion of it to something I’ve been calling “analytics as a service”.

I'm happy to announce the official Laravel Worldwide Meetup. This monthly meetup will be streamed via YouTube. The first edition will be held on 14th July at 18:00 UTC.

As the Covid-19 epidemic continues to rage throughout the United States, many Americans including myself have been sheltering in place for months.

Recently I have been working on a project retrieving some data from an API in a Laravel project.

Eloquent Sequencer is a package by Gustavo R. Gentil for automatically sequencing your models when adding new records. This package makes it trivial to rearrange things like todos, cards, or lists of models. Let’s say that you have a drag and drop interface for reordering tasks.

Laravel Executor is a package by Ash Allen that simplifies running code and commands when installing or updating your web application. This package provides “executor” classes you can run from the artisan command line.

As a rule of thumb, we should never run database queries inside a for-loop! For example, let’s say we designed an inventory software and it’s being used in production for a year, and reached 1,000,000 transactions.

In Computer science, namespace is basically used to make sure that classes/objects should be uniquely identified. Because when we worked with a large set of codebase then there might be a possibility that same name classes exist.

UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifier) are 128 bits values, used to uniquely identify the table records. They are commonly represented as a hexadecimal string split into five groups separated by hyphens. A typical example looks like:

At first it is little bit confusing because even the admin is not on the task page it should see the alert so basically it should see anywhere in the page as long as it is logged in. But it is not hard to do specially using vuex.

Create a Ubuntu Server On AWS EC2 Instance. Now copy the IPv4 Public IP Address of your EC2 instance and hit on the browser. If you see a screen something like below , you are good to go. Apache server is working!

I am going to cover the complete concept of Laravel from beginning to advance.

I've been around the Laravel game for quite some time now, and sometimes it's kind of hard to keep up with all the awesome new features released in this framework. I finally got around to digging into Blade View Components, which allow you to create reusable custom HTML tags.

What is the best strategy to create a multi-step form so that the user can't skip steps (but can go back and forth) and pause/resume the data entry at any time? I did something like that last year and what I did was save the data of each step in the session.

In this lesson, we're gonna look at how we can optimise circular relationships. Taking our example from previous lesson, each feature has bunch of comments. The first comment on any feature is the comment by the author.

Working with components sometimes we need a default behavior or appearance but maybe in a few situations we need to override this default behavior, another common scenario is that we could not know if some variable is getting a value or it is just null.

There would be cases where you want to pass a paginated collection to a view, but if the collection is empty maybe you want to return another view. If you are on a blade file you can handle this by using a "forelse" method but if you want to return different view if the collection is empty?

Sequel Ace is the sequel to longtime MacOS tool Sequel Pro, a popular go-to application for many developers to manage MySQL and MariaDB databases. Sequel Ace takes the torch as a fork of the popular Sequel Pro app, (which was itself a fork of CocoaMySQL).

Cashier Register is a simple feature usage tracker for Laravel Cashier. It helps you define static, project-level plans, and attach them features that can be tracked and limited throughout the app.

Polymorphic Relationships frightened me a little bit. I mean, who wouldn't be afraid of something called "Polymorphic Relationships." Even saying those words used to make me shiver, but that's what I hope to change for you.

In this 16 minute video, I'll show you 5 simple tips and tricks that you can use to enhance your Laravel Eloquent queries, saving time and helping to clean up your code.

In this lesson, we're gonna look at how we can get one record from a has-many relationship in the most efficient way. We are tracking users' logins in a separate logins table. Each login record includes a user_id, their ip_address and the date they logged in.

Laravel Mix is a powerful Webpack wrapper that allows you to manage your app's styles and scripts. You can use Laravel Mix in your Laravel project as well as setting it up in other environments. I've also been using Laravel Mix in Wordpress projects (and it's great!) .

The Laravel Blade templating engine provides us with a number of conditional directives, namely @if, @unless, @isset, @empty, and even directives for checking common use cases such as user authentication and environment name. See the complete list of Blade directives in the official documentation.

We generally use JavaScript for the front-end in our applications, if we also use Laravel we notice that it includes a very useful wrapper called Laravel Mix, that can preprocess our JS files. There's a problem when we want to get some Laravel route in any JS module.

For those interested in the JIT in PHP 8, I did some benchmarks for you in real-world web application scenario. Be aware that these benchmarks don't say anything about whether the JIT is useful or not, they only show whether it can improve the performance of your average web application, or not.

The switch statement in PHP is great when you want check condition on the same expression without incorporating many if statements altogether. This is a basic if-else comparison on a same expression.

Web scraping is a technique used to extract useful information by analysing the HTML content of a website. Web scraping is useful in cases where you need to access the content of a website that does not provide API end points.

Now that our setup is done, and the foundation for a scalable architecture is ready, we can move forward and think more deeply about the design that we want for our entire system.

In this article I will share you simple way to put your Laravel website in a maintenance mode with custom page.

In this Post we wanna learn how to implement a welcome email after user registration. We are going to use laravel Events and mails. In this tutorial we a assume you have an existing project if not install laravel using composer. Step 1: Install laravel and default authentication.

This is why you should store money amounts in the database as INTEGER. A while back we found an odd bug that only occurred with some inputs while doing calculations that involved decimals. When we performed a series of multiplications and additions and then compared our calculation with an expected result (using ==) they didn’t show up as equal.

While optimizing Eloquent and DB performance in Laravel projects, it's not always about the number of queries or slowness of an individual query. There's one more important thing, let me show you, with an example.

A demo-project with (almost) live-coding the transformation: Laravel-only form changed to a Vue.js component with submission, success message, and validation - all handled in the Vue component.

Former Flarepoint CRM is renamed to DayByDay CRM and re-released as an open-source Laravel project. Let's take a look at the code, and maybe learn from it!

Yesterday, the very first Laravel Worldwide Meetup was held. At the event, which was live streamed on YouTube, Joseph Silber gave an introduction to lazy collections. Mohamed Said demonstrated some very powerful additions coming to queues in Laravel 8. You can watch a recording of the meetup below.

So, what are Laravel invocables? Thses are controllers that has only one method(excluding the constructor) and responsibility. A lot of people might be wandering where and how to apply this pattern. I will share my experience on how I was able to apply this methodology in a best case scenario.

In this 25 minute video, I'll show you how to create and embed a Google Map with Vue, then populate that same map with pins and pop-up info windows using data pulled in from a Laravel API.

I'm proud to announce our team is creating a new video course called Laravel Beyond CRUD. In this course, you'll learn various patterns to build a large scale Laravel app with your team. Even if you're not working on large Laravel apps, there are lots of things to learn to improve your projects.

Charts of all types, shapes and sizes are a familiar sight across the web; especially within SAAS apps, news articles, or analytics tools, and if you’re developing an application you’ve probably considered including some sort of graph or chart functionality to display data.

The Composer dependency manager is currently the de-facto way of managing dependencies in your PHP projects. All the modern PHP development can’t be imagined without Composer.

This is really good content for Laravel beginners ready to grow after nailing down barebones CRUD app structure. I personally began learning services and the container recently and wish I had this content. Keep it up!

Have you ever tried to delete the slug (words separated with dashes) and leaving only the gibberish (UUID) at the end of the route in Medium? Give it a try and check out what will happen!

Did you ever get in a situation where you’re seeing a function and its parameters and wonders what those parameters are all about? I’m pretty sure you did.

There's a new RFC in town for PHP 8, and its name is the named arguments RFC. If you're eligible to vote, or know someone who can: I want to ask you to take five minutes to read this, and to be clear up front: I want you to vote yes.

PHP 8 introduces the new match expression. A powerful feature that will often be the better choice to using switch. So what exactly are the differences? Let's start by comparing the two. Here's a classic switch example:

The Match Expression v2 RFC has passed and targets the stable release of PHP v8.0! The RFC still leaves room for future improvement (noted in the RFC), but for now we get single-line expressions that provide a clean, terse syntax for matching expressions.

20% discount only until July 25, with the code SPAVUE20.
A week ago I announced this course, and not it's finally launched. It will be a first step diving into the SPA+Vue world, so expect more on that topic from me - both on this channel and on Teachable

It's only a few months before PHP 8 will be released, and honestly there are so many good features. In this post I want to share the real-life impact that PHP 8 will have on my own code.

PHP’s new version i.e. 8.0 is expected to be released on December 3, 2020. Nowadays people have an eye on php8 updates as this will come with major and vital modifications. PHP 8.0 version will for sure help developers by simplifying the complex tasks and upgrading the new features.

Nowadays, pretty much every web application requires some form of real-time communication. Laravel offers a simple interface for developers to add WebSocket technologies to their applications. For years, Pusher has been the default Laravel option. However, now there is a new option: Larasocket.

First add a controller of type resource with model User as a flag. Of course you can just add the controller and then add only the method that you want or even an invokable controller.

While I am developing any application, I used to on debug mode and work with debug bar to optimize resources and responses. But, this debug bar is not so good for API development. You can see below result of API while I am working on. It’s too much mess hard to understand JSON objects and arrays.

The framework default stores all models in the app folder directly but most developers and me inclusive would prefer to have a specific models folder to house all models.

Laravel comes with request validations out of the box and this makes it a whole lot easier to validate user inputs when receiving form submissions.

When I first used Symfony, the symfony/http-foundation component blew my mind. In my opinion, it is one of the most essential packages supporting modern PHP web applications.

A practical dive into SQL queries - we launch a few Eloquent "magic methods" and see what database queries are actually running under the hood.

Form requests are often used for validation purposes only, but they can do a whole lot more. You can manipulate data before and after validation, and you can easily add methods of your own. In this video I'll demonstrate all these possiblities.

One of my pet peeves is using the database schema to validate data. Yes, I want data integrity too. No, I don't want to rely on the database for that.

Rinvex Addresses is a polymorphic Laravel package, for addressbook management. You can add addresses to any eloquent model with ease. To add addresses support to your eloquent models simply use \Rinvex\Addresses\Traits\Addressable trait.

Let’s just skip the intro and get to the good stuff. Mmkay? Kay. When you hit Cmd+Shift+F VS Code’s “Find All” panel shows up.

The package does a lot. As I was reviewing it I tried to think of some common use cases that almost every app needs and it is one of them.

Today we released several fixes to address a security vulnerability in the framework that we were notified of during the weekend. Application's using the "cookie" session driver were the primary applications affected by this vulnerability.

I keep forgetting how to send an email in Laravel without using Mailables. The the documentation does not help so I’m writing this down here for future reference.

This writing is not me trying to say which is right or wrong. Besides sharing my experience, this story is also for my reminder for other similar cases in the future. So anyone who has worked with Laravel must know that one of the best things about Eloquent is “eager loading”.
