Adding try/catch to Laravel collections original
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.
— Jason McCreary (@gonedark) June 1, 2020
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 original
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.

Learn how to create PHP and Laravel packages using our new premium video course original
Together with my colleagues at Spatie, we have produced over 200 packages with more than 75 million downloads in total.
We learned a lot by quality packages like laravel-permission, laravel-backup, browsershot, laravel-medialibrary, and many more. We feel we have a pretty good workflow to produce reliable, readable, and maintainable packages.
We want to share the knowledge we have built up over the year with you in our new premium video course, titled Laravel Package Training.
How we created over 200 PHP and Laravel packages original
I work at and co-own a company named Spatie, which specializes in creating large Laravel applications for our clients. Our team is rather small: we consist of only 10 people. At first glance we are a software development company like there are so many others. But there’s one thing that sets our company apart: we have an open source first policy. We try to create and contribute to open source as much as possible.
Currently we have around 200 open source repositories on GitHub. Our packages have been downloaded nearly 75 million times. They are being downloaded 4,5 million times each month. Probably we will hit 100 million downloads by the end of this year.
We've also just released our premium video course, titled Laravel Package Training. In this course, we use our experience to teach you how to build reliable and maintainable packages.
This all did not happen overnight. Read on to learn the story behind our open source efforts.

An unopinionated package to make Laravel apps tenant aware original
Today we released a package to make Laravel apps tenant aware, called laravel-multitenancy. The philosophy of this package is that it should only provide the bare essentials to enable multitenancy.
The package can determine which tenant should be the current tenant for the request. It also allows you to define what should happen when switching the current tenant to another one.
It works for multitenancy projects that need to use one or multiple databases.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.

Building a realtime dashboard powered by Laravel, Livewire and Tailwind (2020 edition) original
At Spatie we have a TV screen against the wall that displays a dashboard. This dashboard displays the tasks our team should be working on, important events in the near future, which tasks each of our team members should be working on, what music they are listening to, and so on. Here's what it looks like:
This dashboard is built using our laravel-dashboard package. It will allow you to built a similar dashboard in no time.
In this blogpost I'd like to walk you through both the dashboard and the package.
