Seb De Deyne explains the differences and similarities between Intertia and Livewire.
I’ve seen many people compare the two, or ask if they can be used together. This post showcases their similarities and differences, and should help you understand which problems they each solve best.

At Spatie we have several projects where the UI is rendered using JavaScript (we're big fans of Inertia). The backend and routes are defined in the Laravel app. The backend sends information to the frontend using API resources.
We often add the available routes the frontend can use as links property on the resource. To avoid having to add all routes manually, my colleague Ruben released a package, called laravel-resource-links that can automatically add resource links to the API resource.
In this post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.

If you're using Ignition (and you probably are if you're on Laravel 6), you know have access to a new helper function that help you debug code.
We now give you ddd - a globally available helper function that does everything that you love about dd and sprinkles everything that Ignition has to offer on top of it.

Recently status pages were added to Oh Dear!. My colleague Sebastian took care of the live updates with a few lines of JavasScript.
In a new video on his blog Livewire creator Caleb Porzio, shows how can create the same behaviour with Livewire (and without having to write JavaScript). Impressive stuff!
This sort of thing is right up my alley, but I couldn't help but think how easy it would be in Livewire. Here's is the same functionality implemented with Livewire, in three or four little code additions. No JS!

Yaz Jallad explains how you use Mailgun's webhooks to determine click and open rates of mails.
While building ContestKit there was a feature I wanted to allow users to know if the emails that were sent to the winners were delivered successfully. Thankfully this feature is relatively easy to add because of Mailgun's amazing API. Let's create a new Laravel application and get started.

About a year ago, we released laravel-event-projector. It focused on adding projectors, an important concept in event sourcing, to Laravel.
After the release of the package, we continually kept improving it. We added aggregates, a way to test those, a brand new section in the our documentation that explains event sourcing from scratch, and DX improvements all across the board.
We now feel confident that the package is a good starting point for getting started with event sourcing in Laravel. That's why we're renaming the package to laravel-event-sourcing.
I don't necessarly agree with every detail in this post, but it's very interesting to see how others structure larger projects.
In this article, I would like to show you an alternative way to organize your Laravel directory structure. I think the default structure is fine for the most projects. But when it comes down to larger projects I was looking for a different structure.

My buddy Mattias explains how you can use Laravel and Caddy to handle https traffic to dynamic subdomains.
We recently launched our new Status Page feature. Under the hood, it's using the Caddy proxy server and Laravel's subdomain routing to serve the right status page on the right domain. With this technology stack, we can automatically generate, configure & renewe the SSL certificates for custom domains of our clients.

In this blog post, I'd like to walk you through what status pages have to offer. We'll also dive deep in some technical details of the underlying Laravel app.
Roberto B wrote a good tutorial on how to test your Laravel 6 application using GitHub actions.

I'm currently organizing the Full Stack Europe conference. The first edition will be on 23 - 25 October in the beautiful city of Antwerp, Belgium. I believe that the best apps or sites aren't built by programmers. They're built by teams. That's why we designed this conference for everybody and don't stick to just one aspect of programming.
Tony Messias wrote a good post on the Madewithlove blog on how to get started using Elastichsearch in a Laravel app.
One of the most popular ways is using Elasticsearch. It is a very powerful tool and it comes with a variety of useful features and complementary tools. We are going to cover the basics here and leave you with some links for more resources if you want to dig further.

Today at Laracon EU, Marcel Pociot and I unveiled Ignition, a beautiful new error page for Laravel. It is the new default error screen in Laravel 6 and you can manually install it into Laravel 5 applications. In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it.
These past eight months Marcel Pociot, me and our teams at Beyond Code and Spatie have been working on a secret project called Flare. We believe that Flare is going to change the way you work with Laravel. To be kept in the loop subscribe to our mailinglist.
We are going to launch it this Friday at Laracon EU at 16.30 local time (15:30 CET). The Laravel News YouTube channel will live stream the launch. You can watch the stream right below.

Stefan Bauer explains how to handle error message when you have multiple forms on one page
Here's another tip! Even if it's documented here I just wanted to show it. Here's the deal: Imagine you have multiple forms one page. For example one contact form and another newsletter signup form. Both of them might have an email field. So who do you know which email field doesn't validate and throws an error?
