LaraQuiz, Livewire, PEST and Best of 2021

I'm starting an interesting experiment - another "branching" of my LaravelDaily educational mission. People were asking me to sell some of my demo-projects code, and I wasn't selling that code. Until now. You can purchase my LaraQuiz!

Random five things I wanted to point out about Middleware classes in Laravel. Did you know them all?

Let's talk about PEST: a tool for automated testing that grew in popularity. I will show you my example, and discuss the potential future of the tool.

I want to show a few examples of how Faker's library unique() actually works: with a single field, or with a pivot table for unique multiple columns.

I want to show how to use Livewire components instead of Laravel Controllers, as full-page components.

This is a quick demo of a free package/component called Wire Elements: Modal, based on Laravel Livewire.

I want to present a new 36th component on my Livewire Kit: how to auto-save form data every 10 seconds?

I want to answer a few questions and show how the multi-tenancy team version works in QuickAdminPanel, and how to customize it a bit.

My quick advice for 2022. Happy New Year!

If you want to learn how to build robust, and maintainable APIs with Laravel, this book is for you. Starting with TDD is hard and overwhelming. Writing good APIs with high test coverage is even harder... This book will show you how you can:

At the end of 2020 my trusty mid-2014 MacBook Pro died and was replaced with the latest generation MacBook Pro, running an Apple Silicon M1 Pro processor. The change in architecture away from Intel to Apples own ARM based CPU meant that some software would no longer run on my new machine.

Laravel is sometimes too "magicy" which makes it hard for IDEs to understand.

This book is in two parts, firstly to document version 8 of the Laravel Modules package. The second part will cover how to build on top of this package. I've been using this package to build both CMS's and web apps for years, I highly recommend it.

Image upload is one of the most popular features in modern web. But from all the components that can make up a form, the image upload component could be one of the most frustrating for a lot of developers since it demand a lot of effort and styling. And that's why I created Media-Upload package.

You want to store some configurations from the UI, so that your system can be used to do something at runtime. Maybe it’s rate limits, or site titles, or something. Build a storage mechanism (probably a migration and model) to store your tables.
