Laravel Pennant, Free Tinkerwell, and More

Laravel Pennant is a new package released with Laravel 10, to manage so-called "feature flags". In this short video course, I will show you what are those flags, how Pennant works, what are its use-cases, and what features it has.

In this tutorial, we will create a simple search from three Models and will use Laravel Collections to combine them into one collection to show results in the front-end. Also, we will make the table row background color to be based on the Model.

By default, Livewire doesn’t allow to use of Form Request classes for validation. But, as with many things, there is a workaround.

A recent example of a new Laravel Daily feature I launched pointed me to shoot this video and talk about how I launch features often.

Often in our web apps we need to get notified when some actions happen. With Laravel one way is to push notification on a Slack private channel. Let’s assume we want to receive a brief summary every day of new customers that registered to our service.

Laravel is a popular PHP web application framework that is known for its expressive and elegant syntax, comprehensive documentation, and built-in features for tasks such as routing, authentication, and database migrations.

Laravel is one of the fastest growing frameworks in the open-source space. More developers are starting to see the value that Laravel can bring to any project. With "out of the box" routing, queuing, testing, and so much more, Laravel provides a perfect starting point for your next big idea.

Laravels routes files can get pretty busy. Before you know it, you have to search within the routes file to find anything. How do you combat this, though? You can approach this in many ways, depending on how you would prefer to approach it.

People who have spent any amount of time in my Twitch stream know that I really, REALLY love one particular Laravel package: Filament. It's an immensely powerful group of packages to help build out common functionality in TALL-stack applications.

The Saloon package for PHP released version 2, rebuilt from the ground up with faster concurrency, retries, HTTP client agnostic design, solo requests, and more:

The Laravel team released 10.1 this week with Process standard input, removing return types for controller stubs, secure array randomness, and more. As typical after major releases, Laravel 10 tagged multiple patch-level versions and, most recently, v10.1.0.

All of us are aware that Laravel provides a very convenient way of validating forms using form validation. But did you ever find yourself needing to validate a form field using a third-party API? I just hit this requirement recently in a project.

In November 2022 I started experimenting a lot with OpenAI's large language models, such as DaVinci or Codex. One of those experiments was the ability to query your database using natural language.

What is an action class? I define an action class as exactly that – a class that performs a single action. Examples include addUser, deleteUser, assignRole etc. In my applications I typically make these classes invokable.

Laravel global scopes are great, but I don't see them used a lot. Instead, I see a lot of local scopes being used to achieve the same thing. With proper implementation of global scopes, the code and security would be greatly improved. Let me illustrate this with a simple example.

When you are working on a web application, you are dealing with a database to retrieve and store data. Laravel provides a set of functionalities (e.g.

As developers, we often need to test our applications to ensure that they are functioning properly and free of bugs. However, it is a good practice to set aside a database environment dedicated to testing the application.

Oftentimes, you may need to generate a secure password for your users. And in such cases, you may use the Str::random() method to generate a random string. But, the problem with this method is that it generates a random string that may not be secure enough. So, in Laravel 10.

It took me a while to thoroughly do an embedded OpenAI with PHP/Laravel. Most of the examples are in Python or Js. For the future devs ahead, here's what I learned.

As I began my testing journey, I wanted to remain nimble. I feel very productive with the current offerings from the Laravel framework. The last thing I wanted was to spend a large effort to write beautiful tests, but then be held back by failing tests when I changed something in the future.

Splade is gaining traction, and usage numbers are increasing! Many already use it to build their projects, leading to many feature requests and bug and support tickets. Today is another step in improving the Splade ecosystem by releasing the Jetstream Starter Kit for Splade.

This tutorial will provide a brief guide on how to incorporate WebSockets into your Laravel application. If this concept is unfamiliar to you, it is simply a protocol to send messages from server to client.

Laravel 10 was recently released and along with that came a new facade that is an abstraction around the Symfony Process component. This facade makes it easy to run command line scripts right from Laravel.
