Using our laravel-model-cleanup package, you can easily remove old unneeded records from your database. We recently released a new major version that adds support for safely cleaning out huge tables.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce this new release of the package to you.
Since version 5, Laravel has a built-in scheduler to perform tasks at regular intervals. In normal circumstances, these scheduled tasks will run just fine.
Out of the box, Laravel doesn't offer a way to see the status of the scheduled tasks. When did they run, how long did a task run, which tasks did throw an exception?
Laravel Schedule Monitor is a new Spatie package that monitors all schedule tasks in a Laravel app. In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.

I'm proud to announce our team is creating a new video course called Laravel Beyond CRUD. In this course, you'll learn various patterns to build a large scale Laravel app with your team. Even if you're not working on large Laravel apps, there are lots of things to learn to improve your projects.
This course will be offered as a premium video course, and as a book. The course will be presented by Brent, who is in the lead at various large scale client projects at Spatie. The book, also written by Brent, is beautifully designed by my colleague Seb.
At the Laravel Beyond CRUD website, you can subscribe to our email list. We'll notify you as soon as the course is available in September. We'll also mail you an extra preview.
I'm happy to announce the official Laravel Worldwide Meetup. This monthly meetup will be streamed via YouTube. The first edition will be held on 14th July at 18:00 UTC.
There is a select group of people, sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Elite" that you often see speaking at Laracons and other events. Even though you will probably see some of these fine artisans on the stream, the main goal of this meetup is to introduce new speakers to the community.
A few weeks ago, Jmac tweeted out an excellent idea. What if we could use try and catch in a collection chain?
Collections are the jam. Yet they leave me dreaming of more.

Take this block that performs some custom validation logic by leveraging a value object constructor.
Collections definitely streamline it, but what if I could also chain the exception handling… 🔥 pic.twitter.com/4jj0uFgwWb
Meanwhile, Jmac and I did a few code pairing sessions to work on a possible implementation. We've added try and catch methods to the laravel-collection-macros package.
In this blog post, I'd like to share what you can do with these methods and how they work under the hood.
Dries Vints was a guest on my stream. He shared his newest project, called Blade UI Kit.
We released a new package called spatie/laravel-cronless-schedule. It can run the Laravel scheduler (or any other command really), without relying on cron. Instead of cron, a never-ending ReactPHP loop is used.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
Laravel's native scheduler allows you to schedule Artisan commands to run every minute. For a project I'm working on I needed to schedule a command to run every few seconds. I found a good solution to do this using an ReactPHP powered event loop. Because this solution could be helpful for others as well, I decided to package it up.
Using the laravel-short-schedule package, you can schedule artisan commands to run every second or even lower frequencies. In this blogpost I'd like to introduce the package.
Steve King wrote a nice introduction on how to use our event sourcing package together with Livewire. Cool stuff!

Readability of code can be vastly improved by decreasing indentation. In this video we'll reverse conditions and early returns to accomplish this. If you want to see more videos like this one, head over to the video section at Spatie.
In this video, you'll learn how to generate code coverage reports, and how to display them directly in PhpStorm.
This video is part of our Laravel Package Training video course. In that course, you'll learn how to create both framework agnostic and Laravel specific packages. We'll also source dive some popular Spatie packages together, so you can pick up some tricks we apply there.
Together with my colleagues at Spatie, we have produced over 200 packages with more than 75 million downloads in total.
We learned a lot by quality packages like laravel-permission, laravel-backup, browsershot, laravel-medialibrary, and many more. We feel we have a pretty good workflow to produce reliable, readable, and maintainable packages.
We want to share the knowledge we have built up over the year with you in our new premium video course, titled Laravel Package Training.
Today we released a package to make Laravel apps tenant aware, called laravel-multitenancy. The philosophy of this package is that it should only provide the bare essentials to enable multitenancy.
The package can determine which tenant should be the current tenant for the request. It also allows you to define what should happen when switching the current tenant to another one.
It works for multitenancy projects that need to use one or multiple databases.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
At Spatie we have a TV screen against the wall that displays a dashboard. This dashboard displays the tasks our team should be working on, important events in the near future, which tasks each of our team members should be working on, what music they are listening to, and so on. Here's what it looks like:
This dashboard is built using our laravel-dashboard package. It will allow you to built a similar dashboard in no time.
In this blogpost I'd like to walk you through both the dashboard and the package.
In this short video I demonstrate how you can display multiple Twitter feeds using laravel-dashboard. I will release the packages as soon as we hit 50 sponsors on GitHub.
In this unrehearsed streaming session I show off how you can use the upcoming laravel-dashboard package to quickly build a beautiful dashboard that shows a realtime Twitter wall, a calendar tile that is fed by events coming from a Google Calendar, and a tile that displays the weather.
In this stream (which is the first I've ever done) I'll show you what you can do with our upcoming laravel-backup-server package and how it works under the hood.
At Spatie we have 100+ servers that we manage for our clients. The past few weeks, I've invested some time in creating a new Laravel package, called laravel-backup-server that can back them all up. In the video below you'll get a first look at the package.
In this post, I'd like to show you a quick demo of our new package called laravel-log-dumper.
One of my favourite new features of Laravel 7 are Blade components. The allow you to define custom html tags that are backed by Blade partials. In this blogpost I'd like to show you a couple very handy components.
This blogpost assumes that you already know how you can use Blade components.
