Implementing event sourcing: improving the developer experience original
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel. In v2 we've introduced two "invisible" features that improve the developer experience: auto-detection of event handling methods and auto-discovery of event handlers.
Implementing event sourcing: aggregates original
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel.
One of the prominent new features is support for aggregates. While creating v2, I found it surprising that such a powerful concept could be implemented in so little code. In this short blog post, I'd like to explain how aggregates are coded up.
When to use Gate::after in Laravel original
In a Laravel app policies are a great way to organize authorization logic that revolves around models.
For the longest time, I've been using Gate::before to allow superadmins to do anything they want. While working on a new app, it finally clicked how Gate::after can be useful too. I'd like to share that knowledge in this blog post.
Simplifying controllers original
In this blog post, I'd like to highlight two tips to make controllers in Laravel feel much lighter.
Find Segfaults in PHP like a boss
Grégoire Pineau explains how you can find the source of a segfault in PHP.
Sometimes, a segfault happens, but you don’t know where, and your PHP installation does not have tools to find it. Or sometime, you think PHP is hanging, but you don’t know where. You may use xdebug, but you don’t want to click so many times on the « next call » button.

Access related data in Eloquent using an IDE friendly way
?? Laravel Core Adventures - Did you know?
— Christoph Rumpel ? (@christophrumpel) April 17, 2019
In Laravel, we can access related data as if we would call a class property. But in fact, this is just a shortcut/hack for using the relationship method we have defined.
The second approach has one advantage, your IDE can follow it. pic.twitter.com/OjL4zNqUnp

Unsafe SQL functions in Laravel
My colleague Brent offers some more details on the intricacies of Laravel's query builder.
I recently learned that not all query builder functionality in Laravel is "safe". This means that user input shouldn't be passed directly to it, as it might expose your application to SQL injection vulnerabilities.

An important security release for laravel-query-builder original
Our laravel-query-builder package exposed a serious security issue: it allowed SQL injection attacks. Laravel Query Builder v1.17.1, which is now available, fixes the vulnerability. If you're using the package, stop reading now and upgrade to the latest version first. For Laravel 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8…
Laravel event projector v2 has been released original
Laravel event projector is a package that aims to be the entry point for event sourcing in Laravel. It can help you setting up aggregates, projectors and reactors. Earlier today our team released v2. This version streamlines the projectors and reactors from v1 and adds support for aggregates.
In this blogpost I'd like to explain a potential problem with traditionally built applications. After that we'll take a look at what projectors and aggregates are. Finally we'll walk through an example how you can create an aggregate laravel-event-projector.

Fake PHP version in composer
Anna Filina explains the handy platform option you can use in composer.json. It's a good idea to just use this in all of your projects.
Say you run the latest PHP version on your machine, but the server runs PHP 5.5. This means that when you decide to add a Composer package, it might propose a version that may not be installable on the server. The solution is surprisingly easy. You can instruct Composer to see the PHP version of your choosing.
