Part of "the art of testing" is being able to test code in some level of isolation to make sure a test suite is trustworthy and versatile. These topics are so important that we actually made five or six videos on them in our Testing Laravel course.
In this post, I want to share three ways how you can deal with mocking and faking. Let's dive in!
A Laravel package to crawl and index content of your sites original
The newly released spatie/laravel-site-search package can crawl and index the content of one or more sites. You can think of it as a private Google search for your sites. Like most Spatie packages, it is highly customizable: you have total control over what content gets crawled and indexed.
To see the package in action, head over to the search page of this very blog.
In this post, I'd like to introduce the package to you and highlight some implementation and testing details. Let's dig in!
