My first #PHP was 8.0, still in school, and I confess that I began learning it with the prejudice of it being a junky, terrible language everybody was making fun of. Fast forward ~1 year later, after finishing my internship, where I used full stack #Laravel mainly, and having discovered that not only it wasn't that bad, but really a pleasure to work with. Not perfect, but perfectly suitable for its use cases and, what's perfect anyway? So reading this has been a joy. :D https://developerjoy.co/blog/php-doesnt-suck-anymore
This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.
Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.
Pretty cool stuff. Though I'm also wondering if leaving the connection open and reusing it repeatedly might have downsides too, especially if I have need to connect to many different hosts?
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 :
#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.
Does anybody on the fedi Laravel community knows Aaron Francis? It's really sad that his (awesome) fast-paginate package seems abandoned like this, maybe just a statement acknowledging he can't/doesn't want to maintain it anymore can make the community fork it to keep it maintained. This L11 support PR has been opened and unanswered for 2 months already.
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).
We're getting close to finishing so I'll expand. While fixing a bug on the rector-laravel package, I find out that you can queue closures using dispatch (as per the docs) but you can't when using Bus::dispatch(). I thought this was a bug but I got the issue closed (probably for not being assertive enough, haha). What do you think?
Wanted to get some low hanging fruit tickets done for Questlog. Well I also decided to create more robust testing and now I finished the first task after 3 minutes and fighting Pest for 27 minutes now.
Why in all seven hells is Game::factory()->count(5)->create(); not creating 5 games? It's always 2 or 3. Never 5. This is absolutely infuriating…
I just wanted to get my list shorter and don't break stuff while I do.
The fun part? Also creating all 5 games manually fails. Without any log or something like that…
Oof. This was a really stupid error… My factory generated games with different categories. Main Game, DLC/AddOn and Expansion.
But the view I was testing filtered games by Main Game only… So by chance it was extremely unlikely that every game is a Main Game and so the count never was 5.
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? 🧐
@SenseException I blame popular libraries and frameworks that are still array-based. (#Laravel and AWS-SDK at the top of that list. #Drupal, less than it used to be but still.) And people who cut their teeth on CodeIgnighter et al and never grew past that.
