Vue Sanctum, Facades, Catching Bugs and More

Whether you are starting a new project or taking over an existing project - one question will always come up: "How do I improve code quality?". This question is as old as time itself. The answer could be as simple as "write better code" but in reality - it's not that simple.

One of the ways to become a full-stack developer is to adapt Laravel + Vue.js pair. And part of that is authentication. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Laravel, Vue, and Laravel Sanctum together to build an API authentication, in two ways: Are you ready? Let's dive in!

For fixing code styling mistakes, there's a great tool called Laravel Pint. In this article, I will list one of the most typical fixes it makes, with before/after examples. Unused imports are one of the most common code style issues in code.

How should you name your Controllers: singular or plural? With other similar questions, naming things consistently is important for code readability, compliance with standards, and avoiding errors.

Have you ever used Auth::user() in Laravel? So yeah, that Auth is a Facade. Question: do you actually need to know how they work, and would you need to create your own facades? Disclaimer: this article is written by Modestas, more like an opinion.

In every Laravel project, you will have two files, composer.json and composer.lock. What is the difference between them? In composer.json you specify what packages should be installed, and with what versions. For example:

Sometimes when using composer install or composer update commands you might install packages that don't fulfill system requirements, something like "your php version (8.1.2) does not satisfy that requirement". To ignore these requirements you can use the flag --ignore-platform-reqs.

Let me show you one Filament "trick". In your resource list, you might have some stats widgets. What if you could click on them and set the tables filter according to the widget?

If you want to add an index to the column in Laravel migrations and you're not sure if that index already exists, how to make sure that no error happens when running migrations? You might have noticed that it has no built-in way to check if an index exists.

If you launch an API request from a client like Postman, you may see an error in HTML and not JSON. How to prevent it? Let's dive into where it comes from. Here's our demo endpoint:

This is a free lesson from my course "Advanced Laravel Livewire".

I'm answering a question about Filament: how to customize the dashboard widgets per different user roles.

If some of your internal Laravel classes failed somewhere, should it return the result or throw an exception? Let's take a look at an example.

What is the difference between those two fields? Let me "report from the field".

I want to show the set of internal Laravel Console Components, based on other tools like Termwind and Symfony.

Instead of calling response() - json() with different unpredictable structures and status codes, you may use more readable syntax, with this package.

I received an email that got me thinking: maybe it's worth somehow "pairing" the people who need the reviews, with the reviewers?

In this video we talk about contracts and implementations using Laravel's service container.

Today we'll use Livewire to communicate video event data to our server. Deploy now on Fly.io, and get your Laravel app running in a jiffy! Alright drumrolls. Because today, we'll intercept three user-video interaction events, and use Livewire to easily send event data to our server!

Hi ! So I'm working on a product that manages travelers around the world, and we need to keep track of countries for various entities : Travelers can have one or more nationalities, their company has a country, trips cover many countries, we can define monitoring zones that are a group of several co

A few weeks ago, I built a Kanban board using Laravel and InertiaJS for a client. One of the requirements for the board was to allow users to drag/drop Cards within the same Column and across other Columns.

As web developers, we often have to interact with APIs from our Laravel applications. The Laravel HTTP Client, introduced in version 7, provides a convenient and intuitive wrapper around the Guzzle HTTP library.

Laravel is known for its elegance, simplicity, and expressiveness. One of the most powerful features of Laravel is its helper functions. Laravel's array helpers are an essential tool for developers working with arrays of data.

Sometimes we don't want users to have passwords. Sometimes we want to send a magic link to a user's email address and have them click to gain access. In this tutorial, I will walk through a process you can use to implement this yourself.

The long-awaited MySQL for Developers course by Aaron Francis went live today! This course is free, consisting of over 7 hours and 64 videos with everything a developer needs to know about MySQL. It's everything a developer needs to know about MySQL.

Let's discuss Enums in Laravel. Although there are numerous tutorials on how to use enums in Laravel and how to validate them, today I'd like to talk about something I discovered while using enums.

Some time ago I started wondering about the long bootstrap time of an application based on Laravel. I’ve started debugging and have figured out that this problem was related to the lack of deferred providers. It was strange because we’ve used a lot of deferred providers.

MVC is the most basic architecture you can possibly imagine. I think we all know this one, but let me share my thoughts on it.

Roles and permissions can make or break your web application. If you’re not careful, your users might end up running amok, wreaking havoc on your carefully crafted code. Roles and permissions are like the bouncers at a club.

Pest is a relatively new testing framework for PHP that provides an expressive, simple, and intuitive syntax for writing tests (v2 has just been announced). It's built on top of PHPUnit and supports all its features while adding its own set of features and improvements. In this blog post, we'll explore how to use Pest to test Laravel applications.

We're gonna do some autocompletion with Livewire. Livewire works best when your app is close to your user. With Fly.io, you can get your Laravel app running globally in minutes! The deal with React is that I don't want it, but I'm jealous of the quality of React components.
