How to handle GitHub webhooks in a Laravel application original
by Freek Van der Herten – 3 minute read – Edit
Whenever something happens in one of your repos on GitHub, you can configure a webhook to be sent to your app. This way, you can perform some extra logic when a particular event occurs on the repo. A silly example would be to send someone a mail when an issue is opened.
We've created a new package called spatie/laravel-github-webhooks that makes it easy to consume GitHub webhooks in a Laravel app. In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it.

How to render markdown with perfectly highlighted code snippets original
by Freek Van der Herten – 6 minute read – Edit
When reading technical blogpost around the web, you might have noticed that code highlighting is not always perfect.
Shiki is the code highlighter that uses the textmate parser VSCode uses under the hood. The code highlighting it provides is near perfect, even when using modern syntax. It supports 100+ languages (via our package Blade is supported too), and all VS Code themes.
I'm proud to announce that we have released three new Spatie packages that make it easy to use Shiki in your PHP projects:
- shiki-php: makes it easy to call Shiki from PHP to highlight a given code snippet
- commonmark-shiki-highlighter: allows commonmark to highlight all code snippets in a markdown fragment
- laravel-markdown: a batteries included Laravel package that offers a Blade component to easily render Markdown with highlighted code snippets and a class to render Markdown manually.
We're already using this package to render all our documentation pages, our guidelines, and this very blog you are reading.

A new design for Ignition original
by Freek Van der Herten – 5 minute read – Edit
A couple of years ago, Ignition became the default error page in Laravel.
Ignition provided a vastly improved design over Whoops: it brought Laravel specific niceties (such as showing the routing, queries) and the ability to display and even run solutions (e.g. generating an app key).
At Spatie, we think we can improve the design of Ignition even more. Our initial plan was to release this new design in tandem with Laravel 9 as a big bang surprise release. We've changed our mind on this because we'd like to have feedback from the community.
In this blog post, I'd like to share our ideas and plans for Ignition.
