— Jason McCreary (@gonedark) April 13, 2020

Query time casting in Laravel
🧙♂️ One of my favorite Laravel 7 features is query time casting. This is super handy when using a subquery to get extra "non-model" data, such as a date. By default it would be a string. This feature lets you cast it to a Carbon instance "on the fly". 👌https://t.co/Kd94iMsomA pic.twitter.com/VIzowGy3um

Replacing websockets with Livewire original
Up until a few days ago, the real-time UI of Oh Dear (an uptime monitoring SaaS I run) was powered with web sockets. We recently replaced this with Livewire components.
In this blog post, I'd like to explain why and how we did that.
I'm going to assume that you already know what Livewire is. If not, head over to the Livewire docs. There's even a short video course on there. In short, Livewire enables you to create dynamic UIs using server-rendered partials.

Building complex forms with Laravel Livewire in Oh Dear original
Together with my buddy Mattias Geniar, I run Oh Dear, an uptime checker service on steroids.
Unlike most uptime trackers, Oh Dear doesn't only check your homepage, but every single page of your site. When we detect a broken link or some mixed content, we send a notification. Oh, and we provide status pages, like this one from Laravel and Flare too.
In this blog post, I'd like to show you how we use Livewire to render some complex forms in the UI of Oh Dear.
