Laravel API Course, Query Optimizations and More

These days, Laravel is widely used for API projects, every developer needs to know how to create this type of project, with no visual layer, for usage by a front-end client or a mobile app. In this text-form course, we will create a real-life API for a car parking application.

What if your customer is filling in the order form, and meanwhile the product price has changed? Or, some product becomes out of stock? We need to re-validate the quantities/prices after the submit, right? In this article, I will show you two ways: regular Laravel and more UX-friendly "live validati

This is a typical error I see developers making: using $date->addDays(1) and then another $date->addYears(1) in the same request and getting wrong results. Let me explain. If you perform multiple modification operations with a typical Carbon object, it will change the original object.

If you use Route Model Binding in your API Controllers and the record is not found, it will automatically return the 404 status code with an error message like "No query results for model [App\Models\User] 1". How can you override it?

If you have Observer events on updated/deleted rows, it's important to know that they are fired only when you update individual rows, and not when doing mass-update or mass-delete. The reason is that those Observer events come from Eloquent Model.

When counting the Model records grouped by their type in a relationship, it's tempting to load too many DB queries or too much data into the memory. There are a few ways to optimize it, let's take a look at an example.

If you have a Middleware, where you should use it: in the Routes file or in the Controller? Here are the FOUR options. If you read the official docs on Middleware, this is the main recommended way.

Presenting my new online course, and in this video, we will run through the first two lessons.

Let's optimize one Artisan command that imports translations, step-by-step together.

There are two common ways to use UUIDs: as a primary key, and as a non-primary field. With foreign keys involved, what would work faster, and by how much?

I want to demonstrate the Custom Validation Rule in Laravel, with invokable syntax.

Question: when you delete the record from the table, where should it redirect? Back? To where? To which page? Let me show you a few ways to handle this.

What if you want to calculate the sum of timestamp intervals? You can use the "old" PHP way, or CarbonInterval class.

I guess many of you will want to start something new in 2023, like a side project? Will it be a hobby or a business? Let's discuss this.

Laravel is an amazing PHP framework that I've spent a lot of time with through the years. They also have a product called Nova, that's an administrative panel to allow you to get your project up and running quickly.

Hi guys!
In this video I'll show you how to simplify a model, and transform it from FAT to FIT.

This video will show you how you could easily implement Laravel Socialite within your Laravel Breeze authentication system. Laravel Socialite is a package that has been created by the developers of Laravel itself, which is a form-based authentication, that is mostly used to authenticate OAuth provid

Laravel WebSockets server and Laravel Echo with a Vue 3 app for real-time application using Laravel 9.

Let's talk about how to use token based authentication using Laravel Sanctum

many use the slugs or UUID for the RouteKeyName,but I think if someone wants to hack the database or so they can use the UUID and slug too!and the network tap will return some extra data he can use itso why do I need to hide it? it's confusing to me tbhI hope I find an explanation

Laravel Pint is the hot new thing from the Laravel team. An excellent wrapper around PHP CS Fixer that is my go-to code standards tool. I previously wrote about the release of Laravel Pint when it was first released.

The Laravel team has been working on a tool to automatically generate docblock generation on Facades in the Laravel framework. Facade docblocks are now automatically updated when new methods are added to their underlying targets or when methods change.

The Inertia release of v1.0 is here with SSR support for Svelte, first-class Typescript support for React and Vue, a Progress indicator in core, and more:

The Laravel team released 9.

The Laravel team released new versions of Laravel Jetstream and Breeze in which both starter kits have been upgraded to Inertia v1.0. In addition, both now have Laravel 10 support to start testing and prepare the way for the general release on February 7th, 2023.

There are many ways to implement API versioning in Laravel. The one I'll show in this post is one of the simplest ones to start using this technique in your applications.

Learn advanced concepts and make apps with Laravel and Inertia.js a breeze to build and maintain.

In this article, I'd like to focus on working with 3rd party services. In almost every project we need to integrate our application with some external APIs. It has become so common, but we often fail to come up with a standardized solution. This is why I thought it'd be a fun project to show you.

This tutorial will help you build your own Chat Room. We will be using the TALL Stack (Tailwind CSS, AlpineJS, Laravel and Livewire) along with Echo that will use Pusher for some WebSocket goodness. There is an assumption here that you’re familiar with these tools and have them installed.

Data Transfer Object (DTO) is a pattern that if used correctly can improve the quality and the maintainability of applications. In this article, we will learn why you should be using DTOs in your applications and how to do it in Laravel.

As an experiment, I will walk through creating a blog using Laravel, Vue, Inertia, and Tailwind with Vite tooling.

Imagine working with an application that each endpoint returns the data for successful and error calls in a different way.

We've released a new package called spatie/laravel-deleted-models. When deleting a model, this package will copy over its attributes to a table called deleted_models. You can view this package as a "Recycle bin for models".

Laravel Collections are really powerful for working with arrays of data. They provide a fluent, convenient interface for performing common array operations, such as filtering, formatting and transforming data.

While the Laravel community now mostly uses Tailwind CSS. Bootstrap - one of the most used CSS frameworks currently on the market, is still widely used by a portion of the community.

Greetings my friends! I hope you enjoyed last week’s In Depth, where we did a security review of Steve McDougall’s "Creating a Password Generator" tutorial. I had a lot of fun putting it together, and it’s probably my favourite In Depth so far! Go check it out, if you missed it.

The repository pattern is one of the simplest patterns to implement in terms of code and abstraction complexity, but it is also one of the most misrepresented and misused concepts in real-world scenarios and applications. I’ll try to express my thoughts on this.

Laravel 9 introduced a new way to create custom validation rules: invokable rules. It allows you to write a custom validation rule with only one method: __invoke. If you want the rule to fail, your rule should execute the passed $fail closure and give it a good validation error message.

Today we are going to learn another AI that we can use in our Laravel Application. On of the most interesting AI that we will learn today is Codeformer its an AI model that can restore old photo to a better quality. Here's example photo of mine when I was in high school, this is amazing.

In this tutorial, we're going to create a simple admin dashboard using free Flowbite UI components, Laravel, and a bit of Alpine.js for interactivity.

You are going along nicely with your SPA project. Your stack is Laravel for your back end and Vue for your front end. You also use Inertia to put a bow on it. But then, your boss, colleague, or customer comes to you and says we would like to implement modals. NOOO!

Hi Dev, Today we are going to setup Laravel 9 with Inertia, Vue and Vite. In this tutorial we are going to cover laravel with Inertia, Vue and Vite with basic example. we are creating laravel inertia using inertiajs/inertia-laravel package. Inertia.

Users are not equal. You heard me. Some users are above others. They are allowed to do more than other users. They can see things other users cannot see. Sometimes they can even remove lower-class users!
