Hey guys,
This is Povilas Korop from Laravel Daily. Another weekly newsletter, and this time it may look different - my automatic tool LinksLetter decided to throw random 500 errors today, so I'm putting links manually into MailChimp today - and there will be fewer of them. Only the best hand-picked ones.
This week is full of more 5.5 content (including our QuickAdminPanel generating 5.5 panels now), and finally released official Sublime Text 3. Have a good read!
How to convert WordPress theme to Laravel Blade
Laravel is a back-end framework, but most web-projects still require a front-end theme. And there are no sites with “Laravel themes”, all front-end themes are mostly based on WordPress CMS. But it shouldn’t be a problem – we can easily transform a WP theme to Laravel Blade.
Two new versions: Laravel v5.5.3 released and Laravel v5.5.4 released

Sublime Text 3.0 is now released and it features a refreshed UI theme, new color schemes, and a new icon. Everything has been improved since v2 and includes better performance. Certainly there are big features that 3.
In A Nutshell: Upgrading From Laravel 5.4 to 5.5
Upgrading this site (mikeclassic.ca) was pretty straightforward. Following the official Upgrade Guide was easy and less challenging than previous upgrades I’ve done in older Laravel projects. In the first phase, I simply follow the official upgrade guide.

Using Laravel 5.5 Resources to create your own {JSON:API} formatted API
Ever since I started writing APIs in Laravel I have been using the awesome Fractal package from The League of Extraordinary Packages and it has served its purpose exceptionally well for transforming raw models into JSON:API and other serialising methods, and until now it was really the only option.
Dynamic templates in Laravel Blade with View::first
When building dynamic components or pages sometimes we want to display a custom template if it exists or otherwise fall back on a default one.
Formatting Vue component properties in PHPStorm
Most of work is done in PHPStorm. On my current project I do a lot of Vue stuff. Regularly use PHPStorm auto format feature to make the code look nice. One thing that was bothering is that by default it will use 8 characters of indentation for Vue component properties.

Getting to Know the Laravel Tinker Shell

Custom Pivot Table Models, or Choosing the Right Technique in Laravel
My first thought was, “There must be”. This is exactly the type of thing that I feel a lot of people who write critiques — pros and cons pieces, as opposed to simple trolling- often gloss over or are not even aware of.
Who uses PHP anyway?
Each Thursday at my office we hold a one hour ‘tech talk’ after lunch to discuss something technical of interest. These tech talks are pretty informal, it’s really just a bunch of us sitting around a projector talking shop with one person facilitating the conversation.
Extending Models in Eloquent
We’ve come a long way since the days of hand-writing SQL queries in our web apps. Tools like Laravel’s Eloquent ORM allow us to interact with databases at a higher level, freeing us from lower level details like query syntax and security.
Manipulating Videos in PHP
Handling video is something that I have been avoiding for several years. And now in order to save some server space, I am forced to learn how this thing works. So if you want you can come along for the ride.
