? Tip: the `abort` helper in @laravelphp can take any `Response` object!
— Joseph Silber (@joseph_silber) 19 juli 2018
Especially useful for redirection, since the `redirect` & `back` helpers only work in top-level controller methods.
When in a supporting method from which you can't `return`, use the `abort` helper ? pic.twitter.com/dFwhhXz211

In most applications you store the state of the application in the database. If something needs to change you simply update values in a table. When using event sourcing you'll take a different approach. All changes to application state are stored as a series of events. The key benefit is that you…

In an older post on his blog Mohammed Said, Laravel Employee #1, shares a cool trick on how to avoid having to create an event listener.
Instead of having to create a class for the listener and another for the notification/mailable, wouldn't it be cool if we can register the Notification/Mailable as an event listener? ... While some may consider this an anti-SRP hack I think it's a pretty neat implementation that you can use in your application to prevent creating an extra listener class, your call :)

Andrew Schmelyun collected some cool Eloquent niceties.
Over the last year or so, I’ve been collecting and (sometimes) tweeting about methods and helpers I’ve stumbled across in Laravel’s Eloquent ORM. Most of these aren’t that obvious in the documentation, but have made a huge impact as my applications have grown in both size and complexity.

Marcel Pociot created another great package. laravel-dump-server will transmit all output of dump calls to another port on your system. This will avoid cluttering up the responses of your app with debug output. Here's a gif taken from the readme of the package:

The last few months I've been working on a package called laravel-event-projector. This package aims to be a simple and very pragmatic way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel. Ahead of it's release, which will happen in a few days, I've recorded a small video introduction. You can find the…
Joseph Silber, a very active Laravel contributor, has written a new blogpost on morph maps, a feature to decouple your database from your model class names.
Polymorphic relations let you set up a relationship between many different model types, without the need for extra tables. This works by storing the "morphable type" (explained below) in the database, in addition to the morphable type's ID. By default, the morphable type stored in the database is the model's full class name. While this works, it tightly couples your database to your PHP application. Let's look at how we can instruct Eloquent to use more generic values for these morphable types.

At Spatie We are currenlty building a new company website. One of the cool features is that it won't set a single cookie. In a new blogpost Dieter Stinglhamber explains how you can achieve this in Laravel.
Since May 25th you have been harassed by "We have updated our privacy policy" emails but also websites started to great you with "Please, let us and our 256 partners track you". In response to these abusive practices, some developers have decided to follow a better path, removing every cookie that is not needed.

Recently I was working on a client project where a data import was performed via queues. Each record was imported in its own queued job using multiple queue workers. After the data import was done we had more rows than expected in the database. In this blogpost I'd like to explain why that happened.…
Recently Taylor Otwell held a blogging competition. Entries could be submitted on a GitHub repo, the post with the highest amount of ? would win. My colleague Alex wrote a blogpost on how you could easily win the competition by hacking a bit. It's pretty awesome that Alex, without using any of the hacks described in the post, wound up winning the competition.
I feel like programmers are often as good at breaking things as they are at fixing things. Part of the thought process of programming anything new is figuring out its flaws, weaknesses and possible exploitations. As a web developer, I often find myself applying the same thought process to everything I see and read about online. Including Laravel's May Mayhem blog contest.

A few weeks ago Matthieu Napoli released Bref, a tool to get any PHP project up and running in a serverless environment. Matthieu has managed to get working serverless too.
Serverless basically means “Running apps without worrying about servers”. The main difference with a traditional hosting is that you do not maintain the servers and reserve their capacity. They are scaled up or down automatically and you pay only for what you use. ... Today let’s try to deploy a Laravel application on AWS lambda using Bref.

Rémi Collin shares a cool approach on where to place code that doesn't really belong in a controller. He creates small, reusable, testable, decoratable classes, called Actions.
Using this approach can seems a lot of classes at first. And, of course the user registration is a simple example aimed to keep the reading short and clear. Real value starts to become clear once the complexity starts growing, because you know your code is in one place, and the boundaries are clearly defined.

Christopher Rumpel created a cool BotMan powered quiz on Laravel take you can take via Telegram. In a new blogpost he shares how it was built.
Hey everyone. In this article, I want to show you how I built the LaravelQuiz Chatbot. If you haven't tried it yet, it is a good idea to check it out before reading this article. This will help to understand what I am talking about. Right now it only supports Telegram. The chatbot provides a quiz with all kinds of questions about the Laravel framework. Every question comes with up to three possible answers. You need to pick the right one to collect points and make it to the highscore. But besides the ranks, the quiz is about having a good time. Enjoy the questions and see what you know about Laravel. Have fun!
