My current setup (end 2021 edition)
After tweeting out a screenshot, it often get questions around which editor, font or color scheme I'm using. Instead of replying to those questions individually I've decided to just write down the settings and apps that I'm using.
Here's how to use our spatie/simple-excel package to reate multi-worksheet files.

In the vast majority of applications you work with data structures. Sometimes that data is described multiple times. Think for instance of a form request that tries to validate a blog post model, and an API transformer class for that same blog post model. Changes are that both classes describe the same properties.
Using our new laravel-data package, those structures only need to be described once.
Have you ever had to write an API integration from scratch? Where you're managing the HTTP calls yourself instead of being able to rely on third-party packages?

Mateus Guimaraes show a couple of neat tests powered by Pest.
Mocking, faking; these might sound like intimidating words if you don't know what they are about, but once you do, you'll be able to improve your testing skills significantly.
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!
One of the things I really like about modern Laravel projects, are the new model factories introduced in Laravel 8.
A few days ago, a new version of 1Password was released that is able to detect where a user can reset his or her password.

In this post I want to introduce you to Tree structures. What they are, how you can use them, and in which situation they can be helpful.

Testing a Laravel project is one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had: there's a clean testing API, a very powerful layer added on top of testing frameworks; all while keeping the simplicity and eloquence you'd expect from a Laravel project.
The experience of using Livewire seems magical. It's as if your front-end HTML can call your PHP code and everything just works. A lot goes into making this magic happen.

While recording videos for the Testing Laravel video course, I became a big fan of Pest, a test runner that tries to optimize the developer experience. I'm now using Pest as the default for testing new packages and projects.
I've also converted a couple of existing testsuites from PHPUnit to Pest. Luckily, this is a very easy process. In this video I'll show you how to get started. You'll see that it only takes a couple of minutes.
