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.
Dries Vints was a guest on my stream. He shared his newest project, called Blade UI Kit.

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.

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.
