This is a quick review of a package, with also a discussion on other code generators.

One free lesson from my latest course called Laravel Refactoring Examples.

Did you know how easy it is in Laravel/PHP to calculate the time difference between two actions? Let me show you an example.

In this video, I will show visually, what Laravel docs say about outputting information in your Artisan command.

Following on one of my previous videos, and based on the comment from Alex, I want to show you how to avoid Livewire server requests for simple dynamic visual behavior like show/hide something.

Success in a development career is not only about coding, it's about delivering successful projects. And you need one important skill for it.

I have two models Project and Task. A Project has many Tasks. And a Task can also have many subtasks. More about this in my other question on r/SQL. Now I appreciate that Project::factory()->hasTasks($n)->create() would automatically set the project_id to the Task's related Project.

It's about how we managed to scale our product to handle 7M+ log jobs per month without breaking a sweat and more importantly without going bankrupt. So follow me on a journey that features 3 failed attempts and the final solution built on top of Laravel, Vapor and a neat combination AWS services

A major pain point in programming is having to deal with all the clutter that is shoved into controller methods. One of the best ways to remedy that is extracting some pieces of functionality into their own classes. They're called Actions, or Services, or whatever.

In a previous part of our series, we saw how to install and configure TailwindCSS 3.0 within a Laravel project and how to set up a basic blog layout for our demo application. With that base template in place, the fourth part of the series is focused on the back-end side of the application.

How to verify user after registration? In this blog post, we will learn how to implement email verification after user registration. We will implement this in three simple steps with the help of this post.

Seeding the Laravel database can often be a bit of a chore. It’s fine for small projects but it becomes a pain when you want some flexibility or more complex examples. For instance maybe you want a command option to set an initial size for how many users should be added when running a seeder.

If you take a look at my blog, you'll see that I make frequent and heavy use of code blocks. Being a developer, this is an extremely important part of my content. It has to be right.

In my last post, I discussed how to integrate with the Twitter API to automate sending tweets when publishing a new blog post. If you haven't read that yet, I'd recommend starting there; this will make a lot more sense once you've read that.
