In typical project with list and pagination, you should have a choice to select, how many entries you want to see per page – 10, 25, 50, 100 etc. That setting probably refreshes the table or the whole page, but how to save it for the next time that user logs in, or visits the page in a week?

Untypical video, answering a question I got via email. It's pretty hard to start a freelancing career, I've been there and understand it, so I hope this video will help you - I've showed my own path here, which may be different than yours, but at least would give you some thoughts.

"Part 2" of my quick series on freelancing tips.

I can’t stand inconsistent formatting of source code. If I open a file and I can tell who wrote it just by looking at it something is wrong. In my ideal world every file in the project looks exactly the same.

As my current project grew, so did my models. In a hunt for a thinner models, I realised it was possible to extract model scopes to a dedicated query builder class. I'll show you how to do this, and a few things to keep in mind if you implement this refactor.

Damn, but security is hard. It’s not always obvious what needs doing, and the payoffs of good security are at best obscure.You should build your web apps protective enough to have no security issues or loopholes, thus eradicating the possibility of any malicious attack.

Learn how to improve your Laravel security with the Laravel security checklist. Avoid critical code vulnerabilities (SQL injections, XSS and more), follow best practices and learn about all the security features that come built in the Laravel framework.

Hey! In this post I’d like to show how to set up simple lumen-based CRUD API which uses Doctrine as ORM. Out of box Laravel and Lumen use Eloquent ORM which implements Active Record pattern.

Want to take the fast track and skip the detailed tutorial below? Install Docker for your OS, clone this repo, add your Laravel app files to the src directory, and from the root project directory you just cloned run: docker-build && docker-compose up -d.

I thought it might be helpful for me to share a handful of packages which I find myself installing whenever I start a new Laravel application. Let me know if there are any missing! Probably the first package I install in every Laravel project is the laravel Debug bar by Barry vd. Heuvel.

There are a lot of tools available to a developer these days. Some are well known, but there are also some diamonds in the rough. So today, we are gonna look at some of the tools a modern (PHP) developer should use.

This tutorial is created to illustrate the basic CRUD (Create , Read, Update, Delete) operation using SQL with Laravel 5.8. Laravel is one of the fastest growing frameworks for PHP built by Taylor Otwell. In this tutorial, You'll learn the Basic CRUD operation in Laravel 5.8.

Which database is best for your Laravel app. Mysql or Postgresql? In this story, we are going to share load tests results for simple queries. We ran simple queries like find, insert, update, where IN, where like on a table with 1 million records for both connections Mysql and Postgresql.

Why is setting up automated testing so complicated? You know the drill...it's time to get that codebase tested before it hits production servers. So you go to your CI provider, connect your repository, and then spend the rest of the day (or more) trying to get the damn thing to run. And it happens.

However, this evening I needed a new faker function directly inside my tests, and discovered that the WithFaker trait didn’t create the Faker instance in the same way, not picking up on my additional faker methods at all. And my tests using my custom faker function passed straight afterward.

Once PHP 7.3 version has been released, I decided to take a detailed look into PHP development: what is being developed and what is the direction towards better understand its new potential and…

Software engineering is a combination of art and science. In this article, we will understand the most basic and essential software design principle: SOLID, which is an acronym for five different principles given by Robert C. Martin. He is famously known as Uncle Bob.

I’ve been working on the FullCalendar for a really long time. Though I couldn’t remember exactly how long, so I dove into the archives of old releases. I found the source code for version 1.0.0. Wow, I sure did love deeply nested functions and nonsensical variable names like bo (body odor?).

Changes in complex software systems seem like they take forever, don’t they? Even to engineers it often feels like changes take longer than they should, and we understand the reasons for the underlying complexity in the system! For stakeholders it can be even more obtuse and frustrating.

How Taylor earns a living from a free, open-source PHP framework called Laravel.

In this episode, Adam talks to Sebastian De Deyne about learning React from the perspective of a Vue developer, and how to translate all of the Vue features you're already comfortable with to React code.

Laravel provides a lot of validation rules, but what if you need to add your own? We’ll show you how to do it, with the rule “max words count is 500”, and we will also make this 500 number as a parameter. We need to fill in our implementation of those methods above.

Professionalism means going the extra mile in making a difference. Have you ever longed to change the default verification email but don’t know how? In this post, I explained how you can achieve that.

As a kind of follow up of my article about how the Authentication works in Laravel, here I will write about the moving parts of the authentication mechanism, like the Authentication middleware, the Guard, the Driver, the User Provider and Authenticatable.

Tailwind CSS, the utility-first framework, just released v1.0 and you can start using it today!

The Laravel team released Laravel 5.8.17 yesterday with a new Tappable trait, a dumpHeaders test method, and quite a few other new features. First, a new dumpHeaders() method was added to the TestResponse class which helps you debug headers. Here’s the improvement over doing this manually:

In order to improve the readability of a field called “siret” I used a getter in my model, nothing extraordinary, but the problem comes when you decide to apply a unique constraint on the FormRequest you’ve created.

All it takes is to have a column that states user’s role, and a registered middleware to check role for authenticated user. After installing laravel, and creating a project, we can make auth and setup our middleware.

In the class of injection attacks, PHP SQL injection attack has come out highly prominent. The majority of websites are vulnerable to it. According to research, more than 50 % attacks were done on web using SQL injection.

This is my first article about laravel localization. Here is Language Switcher is our middleware.

Sometimes we have in our application a 2 Models (or more) that share the same attributes, but they differ in some other attributes. Let’s say, taking into account my Podcast application that I still haven’t finished, that we need a Podcast model, a Song model, and a Soundtrack model.

Do you remember the popular "PHP: a fractal of bad design" blog post? The first time I read it, I was working in a crappy place with lots of legacy PHP projects. This article got me wondering whether I should just quit and go do something entirely different than programming.

I've tried chartjs as well as charts by ConsoleTVs but it's not full filling my requirements. The requirements is I want to two filters on the bar chart. After clicking on it it'll change the graph or bar chart. Has an optional VueJS module, so it’s been a seemless use for me.

Seeding dummy data to the database is so useful when we are still developing our app and having able to see the results when we want to manipulate the data. We can do database seeding for this or another way and a more flexible creating your own artisan command.

In this article we’ll learn about 7 tools that you can use to set up a rock-solid continuous integration (CI) process for your PHP project. Together, these tools increase code quality, reduce development time, easily reveal errors and will generally make your life easier.

Two-factor Authentication, also known as 2FA is a type, or subset, of Multi-factor Authentication. Multi-factor authentication is a method of confirming identity using by combination of two or more claimed identities.

Application Program Interfaces, APIs, are snippets of code that allow one software application to talk to another, providing a common language.

On my last post about sending email notification using observer, I forgot to add its test when building it. Our team adopted TDD and although I am not a big fan of it, I slowly liked it and learned how beneficial it is to follow.

In this last chapter of this series we will be discussing some tips to write better tests. You can check the previous posts of the series here and here.

There is also no code reviews, you are responsible for your own code. There seems to exist a "hustle" mentality, where you need to ship at all costs, the engineers frequently work from 9am-9pm and then some weekends. Is this common practice in the industry?

Demo of a simple Laravel Freelance Job Board project where employers can post jobs and find freelancers, candidates can offer proposals and be hired. Github repository included.

Laravel Auth features a function to redirect logged-in user to the same page they were visiting before. So, for example, if you visit /posts, you get automatically redirected to /login and then enter your data successfully, Laravel will “remember” and redirect you back to /posts instead of default /home. But it doesn’t work with new user REGISTRATION, let’s see how we can change it.

Thoughts on the direction we're moving with LaravelDaily Team for new projects. Will shoot more videos like this, sharing my ideas about how to create successful IT projects, not only with Laravel.

This tutorial will walk through the process of user authentication in Ajax requests sending by front end component in multi-page applications. Resources: The following resources were used in this tutorial.

Before we talk about what Traits are in PHP, first let's take a look at the PHP inheritance. If you’re familiar with PHP most especially the OOP architecture then no doubt you’re fully cognizant that PHP is one of the languages out there that implement single inheritance.

When developing your next project, sometimes it’s better to just start using the Laravel Built-in Server by calling php artisan serve.

Nowadays sockets are very popular in web development. Sockets allow real-time communication between the browser of a client and the server. There are a lot of use cases for sockets. For example…

Introduction about myself:I’m no expert at HMR or anything related to Laravel Mix as this is my first app with Laravel Mix, but still, it’s hard to find this solution alone, so I want to share it.

This post covers Darkaonline Swagger setup on a laravel project. Make sure composer is installed.

Quick 4-minute video: answering a question from one of you guys - my two tips for junior developers.

Recently, I was looking for a way to deploy a Laravel application with ease and no headache. After some time, I wrote a very basic Bash script to automate the common deployment tasks: pulling changes from Git, installing Composer dependencies, building NPM scripts, running migrations and so on.

When writing applications, it is often necessary to weave functionality through the events that occur to an object of a class that you have created.

Today, I decided to simplify my controllers by introducing laravel request objects. But if we send an update request with only the description, laravel will give us a validation error.

In larger projects, often we find ourselves making new files – controllers, events, jobs and so on – as the project goes. For these classes, we have all the commands we need, however, if the project is front-end heavy we need to make the files manually.

The month May marks the first year anniversary of a client project I've been working on at Spatie. I thought it useful to share some statistics with the community, and give you a feeling of what a "real life web project" might look like. Let's start with a general overview.

I have worked with symfony 1, Symfony 2+, Zend Framework 1, Zend Expressive, but never with Laravel. Until now. My partner was looking for a way to learn PHP and building web applications with it.

When a request comes in your app will return a response. To create that response, your application has to do some work. Most likely queries will execute. This all takes some time.

You will need to install docker and docker-compose in your system before you proceed any further. And of course, the xdebug-helper chrome extension.

Hey Guys! This is Aman. Hope you all are doing well. Hope you all read my last blog which was of the Laravel Authorization. In that blog, we learned how to work with Laravel Auth package and how to make Login, Registration, Forgot Password, etc.

We generally facing issue in implementation of filtering in our controller class. Sometimes we have to filter multiple fields. If we manage everything in Controller then it looks too bulky and lack of readability.

Macros in Laravel are something that I think are still not talked about enough in the framework. They’re really power and really useful. I don’t think there’s a project I’ve created in the last year or two that isn’t using a macro somewhere.

Throttling something in Laravel is not rocket science. You usually want to restrict an action based on a number of attempts inside a time window, like when the user makes a Request. The throttle middleware does that for you, and the default LoginController automatically throttle logins.

This article takes us through installation and configuration of LDAP and Laravel Passport on a Laravel project. This will enable API authentication with access and refresh tokens using existing Active Directory accounts. Laravel comes with a fluent auth out of the box.

At times in the course of a laravel project, it’s necessary to run a certain query more than once. For instance, in a blog project, it is necessary to get all active posts and this can be done like this. You could do this wherever you need to get active posts.

In our recent projects at Spatie, we've started using a concept called "actions". It keeps our controllers and models skinny. It's a straightforward practice. In this blog post, I'd like to explain it to you. Consider you have a Laravel powered blog where you want to publish posts.

The reason for this tech stack is to ensure a perfect “Separation of Concerns” for frontend and backend development. We can achieve such separation correctly by using an API-based authentication.

Recently I have been using Laravel Form Request Validation instead of using inline validation. I find it much nicer to break things out into their own classes as much as possible so I was pleased when this made its way into the core framework.

One of the things I really love about Laravel is how easy it is to customize it to your own wishes. Recently I was working on a model that used a standard auto-incrementing integer as its primary key. My task was to convert this model to work with a version 4 UUID.

If you are an open source maintainer, this article is for you. In this article, I will share a tip that made my job easier while maintaining open source libraries. Refactoring after a stable release of your open source library can be hard, because technically in PHP: every class is public.

A lot of people might wonder what it is to maintain a big open-source project like Laravel and all of its open-source libraries. In this video I’ll take you through my daily routine of handling…

Laravel Blade components and slots reduce the development time and help us build awesome web applications. The idea of Blade components and slots was inspired by VueJS to build HTML elements into reusable areas.

Though Laravel has made web development super easy and robust in many fronts however achieving multi-tenancy is a bit extra work to be done. Good thing is that it’s not that hard than it looks.

Sometimes our applications do something so resource-taxing that it’s better to cache the result and return it. You’re totally fine with that approach, taking the result and caching it… until your Controller starts to pile up code in charge of cache management in multiple methods.

I have a website A. I want to make a website B that shares roughly 80% of the code from website A but that also has some key differences, not just in text/theming.

Here’s a quick tip to solve an issue I had today: I wrote a Laravel Artisan console command to allow the creation of a new user via the command line. For this project, some fields are required for the user, like first and last name for instance.

Typed class properties were added in PHP 7.4 and provide a major improvement to PHP's type system. These changes are fully opt-in and backwards compatible. If you're unsure about the added benefit of types, I'd recommend you reading this post first.

In this article, I would like to show you an alternative way to organize your Laravel directory structure. I think the default structure is fine for the most projects. But when it comes down to larger projects I was looking for a different structure.

isset() is one of the most important tools at your disposal to validate data in PHP. As the name implies, it is designed to verify if a variable given to it is set, returning a boolean value based on the result.

Sometimes you might create a file that is unexpectedly ignored by git. Although it doesn’t happen often, it can be tricky to figure out which .gitignore file is responsible for ignoring a file in your project. It is super easy once you know about a handy git command!

If you're a developer using GitHub, you probably have heard of GitHub Actions. GitHub's new automated workflow system (similar to the CI feature of GitLab). It has been announced in October 2018 and is currently still in beta (You can sign up here to get access).

Next year, I’ll be entering my 10th year of being formally employed to write code. Ten years! And besides actual employment, for nearly 2⁄3 of my life, I’ve been building things on the web.

Imagine a Laravel project with 100+ routes, separate section for guest, users, administrators etc. Do you really want to keep it all in one file? How can you group them, add prefixes to URLs? Let’s see what options we have. This one is easy, as Laravel is shipped with this feature by default.

Very quick video on a few PhpStorm features I've just remembered, may be useful to you.

New feature of QuickAdminPanel 2019 version - grouping reports by relationship CRUD.

Example is from the official Laravel Horizon repository.

Are you building an API? If you are, chances are you’ll want it to have: Laravel offers all of this out of the box. It also has excellent documentation and an active community offering tips and writing articles like this one. This is why I keep coming back to Laravel time and again.

Sending email to welcome users after signing up (on your application) is one great way to get things running and let users know you’re glad they joined your platform, besides it’s just nice to say thank you, don’t you think?

Just looking for tips to make this as smooth as possible. Pretty simple actually - the large project will need maintenance; bug fixes and features.

For those of you that follow my posts, packages or ramblings on Twitter, you'd have noticed that I am a big of a multi-tenant systems, specifically those that use subdomains. You may even be aware that I had a package for this very purpose.

This guide assumes that you are already done setting up laravel and created routes for the api and view. And you already lazy load the vue components and use it in blade template file. This is optional.

Hello everyone! For this purpose I will use my own Laravel package, my package have some improvement in Vue side of Laravel such as Installed more packages like Vuex and Vue router and so on … and made a boilerplate using data domain view pattern.

Validation Composite is a package by Paul Klimov that allows uniting several validation rules into a single one for easy reuse.

Hey there! So you’ve successfully hosted your Laravel application on Heroku! and now you need to set up your database, sure you need to, how else could you get basic things like authentication running.

Laravel’s HTTP Tests make sending requests and performing assertions on the response super easy. Yet one pain point is testing validation. Consider testing a simple controller action which accepts a name and email, validates this data, and uses it to subscribe to a newsletter.

It's stats o'clock! See 2014, 2015, 2016.1, 2016.2, 2017.1, 2017.2, 2018.1 and 2018.2 for previous similar posts. A quick note on methodology, because all these stats are imperfect as they just sample some subset of the PHP user base. I look in the packagist.

Let's be honest, we all like systematic, uniform code. However, maintaining a respectable level of cleanliness across multiple developers' systems can be a challenge. Thankfully there are a few tools to help unify our editors so that our code styling gets along!

Today I was amazed to see the usually positive and friendly VueJS community descend into a bitter war. Two weeks ago Vue creator Evan You released a Request for Comment (RFC) for a new function-based way of writing Vue components in the upcoming Vue 3.0.

In order to validate a field (string , integer or array) under the rule of being less than or greater than another field, there is a simple solution which has been introduced since Laravel 5.6. The fields can be : string, numeric or array.

Since it’s a learning technical diary, it will contain my personal project. You could selectively refer to this article. As mentioned previously, we could find almost all of the examples for every situation in the official sample directory. You could customize it according to your need.

Checking multiple strings against the same pattern is a common task in development. Usually, we use multiple preg_match for checking values, however, PHP provides a nice function that allows us to provide an array to the checker.

This definition from Laravel document may sound weird and overwhelming. Let’s dig in and understand how it works. Laravel events are things that happen in your application and you want to take action about it. Simple huh? Here is an example.
