Implementing event sourcing: improving the developer experience original
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel. In v2 we've introduced two "invisible" features that improve the developer experience: auto-detection of event handling methods and auto-discovery of event handlers.
Implementing event sourcing: aggregates original
Recently we've released v2 of laravel-event-projector. The package is probably the easiest way to get started with event sourcing in Laravel.
One of the prominent new features is support for aggregates. While creating v2, I found it surprising that such a powerful concept could be implemented in so little code. In this short blog post, I'd like to explain how aggregates are coded up.
When to use Gate::after in Laravel original
In a Laravel app policies are a great way to organize authorization logic that revolves around models.
For the longest time, I've been using Gate::before to allow superadmins to do anything they want. While working on a new app, it finally clicked how Gate::after can be useful too. I'd like to share that knowledge in this blog post.

In Laravel, we can access related data as if we would call a class property. But in fact, this is just a shortcut/hack for using the relationship method we have defined.
The second approach has one advantage, your IDE can follow it. pic.twitter.com/OjL4zNqUnp

Unsafe SQL functions in Laravel

Laravel event projector is a package that aims to be the entry point for event sourcing in Laravel. It can help you setting up aggregates, projectors and reactors. Earlier today our team released v2. This version streamlines the projectors and reactors from v1 and adds support for aggregates.
In this blogpost I'd like to explain a potential problem with traditionally built applications. After that we'll take a look at what projectors and aggregates are. Finally we'll walk through an example how you can create an aggregate laravel-event-projector.

Tidying Up Your PHPUnit Tests with Data Providers
Over at the Tighten blog, Chris Trombley published a new post on how to use data providers in PHPUnit.
PHPUnit gives us a way to consolidate this common logic while varying our setup data, without losing the benefit of dedicated, smaller test methods. In this post, we'll explore PHPUnit's data providers. While data providers are available in any PHPUnit test suite, let's look at how they can help us tidy up our tests in a Laravel application.

Introducing Interia.js
Jonathan Reinink is creating a library that'll make it easy to create server-driven single-page apps. Super cool idea!
I wanted to blend the best parts of classic server-side apps (routing, controllers, and ORM database access) with the best parts of single-page apps (JavaScript rendering and no full page reloads). Or, at least the best parts as I see them. ?
That journey has led me to a pretty interesting new pattern, which this article explains in detail. In short, I've created a Turbolinks inspired library that makes it super easy to create server-driven single-page apps. I am calling this library Inertia.js.
