Adding try/catch to Laravel collections
A few weeks ago, Jmac tweeted out an excellent idea. What if we could use try and catch in a collection chain?
Collections are the jam. Yet they leave me dreaming of more.

Take this block that performs some custom validation logic by leveraging a value object constructor.
Collections definitely streamline it, but what if I could also chain the exception handling… 🔥 pic.twitter.com/4jj0uFgwWb
Meanwhile, Jmac and I did a few code pairing sessions to work on a possible implementation. We've added try and catch methods to the laravel-collection-macros package.
In this blog post, I'd like to share what you can do with these methods and how they work under the hood.

A package to run the Laravel scheduler without relying on cron
We released a new package called spatie/laravel-cronless-schedule. It can run the Laravel scheduler (or any other command really), without relying on cron. Instead of cron, a never-ending ReactPHP loop is used.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.

A package to schedule Artisan commands at sub-minute frequencies
Laravel's native scheduler allows you to schedule Artisan commands to run every minute. For a project I'm working on I needed to schedule a command to run every few seconds. I found a good solution to do this using an ReactPHP powered event loop. Because this solution could be helpful for others as well, I decided to package it up.
Using the laravel-short-schedule package, you can schedule artisan commands to run every second or even lower frequencies. In this blogpost I'd like to introduce the package.
