When developing #Laravel applications I'm always a little afraid of sending emails to actual customers or placing real orders by accident. So I came up with a habit that works super well for me and maybe this will suit you as well.
In my /config/mail.php I add a 'developer' email address and ensure in my AppServiceProvider all emails are sent to this address when in non-production environments no matter what. Makes me build and test stuff way more confidently 😁
It will replace the receiver and will optional add all the original receivers (to, cc, bcc) to the content of the email. That makes it useful for an acceptance environment to verify who would normally receive the email.
If you are using #Laravel#Herd and experiencing issues with Xdebug not recognizing the correct domain: Go to herd.conf and swap fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; with fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
Today I collaborated with ondrey on a fix for #phpstan which improves a previous performance fix, which caused perf regressions in a #laravel edge-case.
The new fix allows a 2-3 seconds instead of 2-3 minutes analysis in all mentioned cases.
Yesterday I learned that it's possible to change the path where #Laravel apps store uploaded files, caches, logs, etc thanks to the LARAVEL_STORAGE_PATH env var. This is super convenient when distributing apps as standalone binaries using FrankenPHP.
Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer la sortie d'@ApiPlatform 3.3 ! Découvrez avec @soyuka, le release manager du framework, ce que comporte cette nouvelle version :
@sirber Pretty good overall, but does have a bit higher curve. If Laravel cribs from Ruby on Rails, Symfony is inspired by Java Spring Boot. When I want a major framework I usually go Symfony.
#ProLifeTip. Put more effort into periodically reinforcing the learning that got you to this point in your career, because at some point you might spend a weekend implementing something from scratch and realising you've literally forgotten it all.
The wheel aren't rusty, they've fallen off.
How does one work with #Laravel?
What is a Dockerfile? WTF is Vite?
Been battling to get #LaravelSail working with rootless #Podman all evening and aren't having much luck. Boo to overly complex things.
It's so close to working well but the whole uid/gid mapping thing just falls apart when the container starts running things as different users. All of a sudden there're large parts of my source tree that I can't edit, not to mention being unable to use artisan make tools.
@Nitrousoxide I ended up going with that first one, but only after I'd moved away from #LaravelSail since it was doing something that would stop keep-id from working.
Using the "Higher Order Messages" of #Laravel can save you some code. The following examples all filter for published posts in three different ways. I'm not yet sure which way I like the most. Probably (2) and (3).
@j3j5 I actually managed to get a PR merged recently, but yeah, you gotta have quite thick skin (and be quite deferential, which doesn’t come naturally to me 😬)
@michael yeah, not my first rodeo and I keep reporting making PRs because I still benefit from them. I can understand from the other side, a repo like that isn't easy to manage, but that's why I try to make the issues and PRs as clear as possible. I think in this case Dries didn't read past the "not 100% sure if it's a bug" 🤷
Do you use Encrypted Environment files in Laravel?
I think they are great for some special use cases, but given the prevalence of API keys and credentials found in repos, is it worth it to use them all the time?
There was a bit of a debate about this last time I posted it, so I'm curious to see how we're all feeling about them now. Or maybe I'm just being a old security grump? 🧐
Does Google index my web application when using #Laravel with #inertiajs (no SSR)? I read articles that say it doesn't, I read articles that say JS is no longer an issue for Google. What's true? Or can there even be a clear answer here?
I was asked to upgrade/update an old #laravel (5.3) project to the latest version of laravel and #php. I’ve already seen the code and let’s say it’s going to be interesting. A lot of customizations 😱 Not calling parent constructors which contain dependencies for example (probably not necessary). And also not even following certain Laravel standards. What did they use of the Laravel framework? Facades and helper functions 😑 (I really don’t like them, just use constructor DI 😉)
@Crell Thanks! I’m aware of Laravel Shift 😊 I need permission first obviously. I’ve done several upgrades before on other projects. Shouldn’t be a big challenge/problem 😄
@rolfdenhartog if I'm correctly there is a #rector rule to transform the facades to DI. That can help you. (I found facades a bad part of the framework)
And maybe Laravel shift can help you.
Good luck upgrade!
#Laravel models can use casts to transform a value when either getting or setting it. In this case I use this feature to remove id, class and style attributes from an HTML string while I want to keep the other ones.
Let's checkout three of the configuration options available as part of Laravel 11's Automatic Password Rehashing: custom fields, disabling rehashing, and changing bcrypt rounds.
@flanger I did run the upgrade script locally and after all was finished and ran locally, I deployed it to PROD. It's just the basic forge deploy script with some more "restart queues" and so on things but after the deployment, all data was truncated in the db
@paladin Okay, but it sounds like that’s a different error you encountered. Since the livewire upgrade script just replaces livewire code and doesn’t touch the database at all.
I'm pretty amazed with #Laravel+ #Vue+ #Inertia. In a nutshell, you don't have to write routes for your API endpoints and then routes in your frontend views, and then frontend methods to retrieve data and so on. You mostly work as if you were serving your server-side rendered views, write your models and controllers, and then you just pass the data as props to your Vue pages and components, and bang, done! I'm really having fun with my pet project. :)
Im about to implement achievements for @cloudhiker. Anyone know a great method to show toasts/popup notifications in the #frontend for unlock events, which do not involve setting up websockets with #Laravel Echo? 🥺
