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

📺 Building filters using laravel-query-builder
On the subscribers screens of the Mailcoach, you can filter out the subscribers that have a certain status, you can search and sort them.
In the video below, which is part of the upcoming Mailcoach video course, I explain how we built these filters, powered by three of our packages: laravel-query-builder, query-string and Blade X.
Query scopes, meet action scopes
Tim MacDonald shares an interesting technique.
Action scopes are...well...just query scopes really, but instead of filtering they take an action. It's just a random name I've given them to differentiate them from regular filtering based query scopes in my projects.

Writing advanced Eloquent search query filters
Over at the excellent dotdev.co Amo Chohan wrote an article on how to structure code when you need many filters on an Eloquent model.
I recently needed to implement a search feature in an events management project I was building. What begun as a few simple options (searching by name, e-mail etc), turned into a pretty large set of parameters. Today, I’ll go over the process I went through and how I built a flexible and scalable search system. For those of you who are eager to see the final code, head over to the Git repository to see the code.
