Dries Vints, maintainer of Laravel.io, posted a step-by-step guide on how to get started with Laravel Horizon on a Forge provisioned server.
I recently installed Horizon for Laravel.io and while it wasn’t that hard to install, I still had to figure some things out. Since this was the first time setting everything up I thought I’d write up the steps to take to get started with Horizon and set everything up with Forge and Envoyer.

Imagine you want to have an Eloquent model hold a status. It's easily solved by just adding a status field to that model and be done with it. But in case you need a history of status changes or need to store some extra info on why a status changed, only adding a single field won't cut it. To handle…
Laravel has a very powerful notification system. From the docs:
Laravel 5.6 will probably ship this wednesday. One of the cool new features is the ability to register Blade component aliases, which was PRed by my colleague Seb. On his blog Seb guides you through the new functionality.

At Spatie, we have created a dashboard powered by Laravel, Pusher and Vue that displays a lot of information useful for our company. We opensourced the dashboard a while ago.
In a new post on his company blog Chris Sherry explains how they customized our dashboard.
We use Laravel because its a well-known framework among backend developers, meaning there’s a bigger community (including lots of open source libraries), great documentation and a tonne of experience of using the framework.
Vue.js is our first choice because it lets our frontend developers build components for a project without being to be locked into building the whole project on the framework, meaning we can use the right tools for the right job.
The fact that the Spatie dashboard used these meant that all the developers at CUBE would be able to build their own components for it, which was one of my key objectives.

It's really great to see that people customize and use our stuff!

Cristopher Rumpel recently launched a big redesign of his blog. In a new post he touches on why he moved away from his old solution, and what kind of problems he had to solved. Great read!
One of my resolutions for 2017 was to redesign my blog. One week before the new year I faced myself with the challenge and thought to myself if this was still doable. Somehow I managed it and here it is. In this article I will explain the process and show you how I redesigned the blog with Tailwind CSS and moved it from Jekyll to Laravel with keeping almost the same performance.

In a post on vuejsdevelopers.com Anthony Gore explains how to get started with serverside rending with Laravel and Vue. Cool stuff!
Server-side rendering is great way to increase the perception of loading speed in your full-stack app. Users get a complete page with visible content when they load your site, as opposed to an empty page that doesn’t get populated until JavaScript runs.
One of the downsides of using Laravel as a backend for Vue.js was the inability to server render your code. Was. The release of Vue.js 2.5.0 has brought server-side rendering support to non-Node.js environments including PHP, Python, Ruby etc.
In this tutorial, I’ll take you through the set up steps for Laravel and demonstrate a simple server-rendered app. Get the code for this here on Github.

Laravel's HandlesAuthorization trait is perfect for this. Simply call the `deny()` method, and Laravel will respond with a 403 HTTP response ???? pic.twitter.com/O36agH2o3u
