For a project I'm working on I needed to build a lightweight, pragmatic search. In this blogpost I'd like to go over my solution. Searching Eloquent models Imagine you need to provide a search for users. Using Eloquent you can perform a search like this: User::query() ->where('name',…

Marcel Pociot recently created a Nova tool for Honeybadger. On their blog Marcel gives some interesting details on how it was created.
In the last weeks, I've been working with the team from Honeybadger on a custom resource tool to add Honeybadger error tracking output to Laravel Nova. It's a great addition to Nova and allows the developer to easily get access to error tracking information that, for example, is associated with specific users.

Patrick Brouwers is doing an awesome job creating a quality Laravel package to integrate with Excel. The newest version can import Excel files.
Laravel Excel 3.0 was released a while ago and completely redesigned the architecture behind exports. Our next target was to do the same paradigm shift for imports. Development took some time, because we wanted to get it right from the start.

Now that Laravel Nova can be installed via composer, we can run tests for Nova packages and projects on Travis CI. My friend Marcel Pociot explains how.
This is great news, as this does not only simplify updating Laravel Nova, but it also allows Nova tools/package developers to add continuous integration to their projects! But there is still a problem: we do not want to provide our Laravel Nova credentials in our open source repository. But how can we solve this?

TJ Miller shares a cool Travis config to tests against all versions of Laravel.
As Laravel 5.7 is now out, I needed to add support to both the package’s composer configuration and verification in CI. Previously, I only needed to verify against 5.5 and 5.6 I thought that having --prefer-lowest in the matrix would add the coverage I needed. Now that I am supporting three versions I felt that I needed a more specific way of verifying compatibility with different versions of Laravel.

A while ago I ditched the custom admin of this blog in favour of Laravel Nova. As you might have noticed every blog post on murze.be has some tags. Nova ships with many form fields but a field to use tags is not included out of the box. That's why I created my own tags field and released it as…
My colleague Brent released another awesome package called laravel-view-models. On his blog he shares some good examples and uses cases.
In essence, view models are simple classes that take some data, and transform it into something usable for the view. In this post I'll show you the basic principles of the pattern, we'll take a look at how they integrate in Laravel projects, and finally I'll show you how we use the pattern in one of Spatie's, our company, projects.

In a post on IndieHackers my buddy Mattias Geniar shares the backstory behind our SaaS called Oh Dear!. He touches upon how we started out, how we use the cool stuff in the Laravel ecosystem, how we try to grow the service, what are future goals are and much more!
We both got fed up with existing tools that didn't fit our needs precisely. Most came close, but there was always something — whether settings or design choices — that we just didn't like. Being engineers, the obvious next step was to just build it ourselves! Oh Dear! launched in private beta earlier this year and has been running in production for a few months now. It's already generating over $1,500 per month.

Nick Basile, UX instructor at Lambda school, write a good practical tutorial on creating custom Nova actions.
In my last post, we started building a simple CRM using Laravel Nova. It was pretty complete when we left it, but I think we can add a few more features and explore the rest of what Nova has to offer. In this walkthrough, we'll take a look at how to use Nova's Actions and authorization.
