The magic behind Laravel Valet

Link – May 7th 2016

Mohamed Said peeked behind the curtains and explains on his blog how Laravel Valet works behind the scenes.

The idea behind Valet is that it configures PHP's built-in web server to always run in the background when the operating system starts, then it proxies all requests to a given domain to point to your localhost 127.0.0.1

If you want to keep Homestead around for some projects, know that your can also use dnsmasq to point an entire domain to your Homestead installation.

On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
