? Tip: the `abort` helper in @laravelphp can take any `Response` object!

Especially useful for redirection, since the `redirect` & `back` helpers only work in top-level controller methods.

When in a supporting method from which you can't `return`, use the `abort` helper ? pic.twitter.com/dFwhhXz211

Small #PHP tip: Want to before sure multiple keys of an array are set? Define them in one isset() call, it's so much clearer!

if ( ! isset($a['q']) || ! isset($a['w']) || ! isset($a['e'])) {
// PANIC
}

# Becomes

if ( ! isset($a['q'], $a['w'], $a['e'])) {
// OH NO!
}

Most of work is done in PHPStorm. On my current project I do a lot of Vue stuff. Regularly use PHPStorm auto format feature to make the code look nice. One thing that was bothering is that by default it will use 8 characters of indentation for Vue component properties. So you get this horrible code:

<br /><template>
    <!-- ? -->
    <my-component
            myProp="myValue"
            anotherProp="anotherValue"
    ></my-component>
</template>

Today a golden tip by Christopher Pitt helped me find the solution. In the preferences of PHPStorm you need to set continuation indent of the html to 4 characters.

And after that the PHPStorm will reformat the code right according to our guidelines for Vue templates.

<template>
    <!-- ? -->
    <my-component
        myProp="myValue"
        anotherProp="anotherValue"
    ></my-component>
</template>

Michael Dyrynda, one of the two new hosts of the Laravel Podcast, share a nice tip on how to quickly switch PHP versions when using Laravel Valet.

At the time of writing, Laravel Valet ships with PHP 7.1 but if you're like me, you have some legacy projects around the place that haven't quite lifted their dependencies to PHP 7 just yet.

A lot of folks might have previously used a VirtualBox Virtual Machine, or more recently considered Docker but a lot of the time and especially when dealing with simpler situations, Valet may be all that you need.
