Deployment, Services/Repositories and Eloquent Tips

I conducted a short survey, and let's discuss the numbers and opinions from 447 respondents.

Service classes in Laravel is one of the most misunderstood concepts because developers use them in a very different way. Let's take a look at three examples.

A mini-lesson on Eloquent relationships and restructuring the code, based on a question from one of you.

Another Laravel code review, discussing two topics related to the same problem: overengineering.

Today I will answer a question from one of you guys, with a mini code-review. Is it worth combining two different entities into one URL/Route/Controller? Let's take a look.

In the last part of this series, I will demonstrate two popular packages to store multi-language model data in DB.

In addition to main Livewire, its author Caleb also released a Sortable mini-component, which is extremely easy to use. Let me show you.

Hello and welcome to this episode of the tutorial series. In the previous episode you learnt how to create factories and seed our database with sample data. This episode will begin with building the UI part of our blog using Laravel Livewire components.

The PHP core Git repository was compromised, and a bad actor pushed two commits that introduced code injection from an HTTP header to the PHP source and impersonated Nikita Popov and Rasmus Lerdorf.

In this Tutorial, we will see how we can create a Livewire Component which will Load More Records from the Database when the User Scrolls to the bottom of the list. And we will do it properly without reloading all the Records when the Component re-renders.

When Laravel 7 was released, it introduced a new feature how you can organise and structure your blade views, called Blade components.

In most cases we don’t need to detect home page as there are separated views and controllers for each page already. Carrying out a task on a specific page means you should do it on the respective views and files.

There are many SaaS applications that allow potential new customers to try out the service using a trial period. Of course, not everybody will convert. After the trial period is over, some people will not use the service anymore.

At work, we have developed a couple of admin panels in Livewire. While developing in Livewire, I always wondered how I could show a date based on the user's browser timezone, without having to save it somewhere on the user's profile.

With the arrival of Laravel 8, new ways for authentication have been added to the Laravel ecosystem. Fortify, Jetstream and Breeze. Although these tools can save you a lot of time, often when you want something more complex they cost you more time.

Sometimes, when we create a form with image upload, it may be a good idea to preview the image before sending it to the backend or to preview the image that is already uploaded when opening the form to edition. In this tutorial, I’ll teach you how to create a simple and reusable Alpine.

In this article, we will add our own “Did you mean” feature in PHP. For this, we will implement Smith-Waterman Gotoh Algorithm. We will get the search term input by the user and compare it with the array list of titles. The highest match will be returned.

There's probably a lot of tools in the Laravel ecosystem that would help with an e-commerce application, but what would you pick? And what are some issues you might want to take into consideration? Search - Algolia has been popular and seems straightforward.

We send an HTTP request that returns an array of items, then we store the name of each item in a $names array. Executing this function will take time that's equal to the duration of the request plus the time it took to build the array.

Laravel 8 now has three validation rules for prohibited fields, including prohibited_if, prohibited_unless, and prohibited. Let's walk through a few examples of where the prohibited* validation rules might be useful, and look at each one in more detail.

If your application is running slow or making a lot of database queries, Follow the below performance optimization tips to improve your application loading time. This tip mainly focuses on improving the memory usage of your application when dealing with large datasets.

If you have some experience using databases, it is very likely you have used joins at least once in your career. Joins can be used for a bunch of different reasons, from selecting data from other tables to limiting the matches of your query.

PHPUnit has been blowing away its competition for more than 5 years now. With the use of the right PHPUnit assertions, you can get the most benefit out of PHPUnit. In this post, we will look into some popular and very useful PHPUnit assertions you should be using day to day in your PHPUnit tests.

Automating deployments for your Laravel 8 project (or any other version) on your dedicated or shared hosting sounds daunting at first. I have been at that place. For my job board back when I launched it, I started looking at tools that I could use for deployment for free.

Last month we started our second big project with Inertia.js. The development of the first one is well underway, and with the recent announcement of Server-Side Rendering support, I genuinely think Inertia is the future of web development.
