Our team has released a new Laravel package: spatie/laravel-artisan-dispatchable. This package allows you to dispatch any job from an artisan command.
In this blog post, I'd like to explain why we created the package and how you can use it.

A couple of years ago, Ignition became the default error page in Laravel.
Ignition provided a vastly improved design over Whoops: it brought Laravel specific niceties (such as showing the routing, queries) and the ability to display and even run solutions (e.g. generating an app key).
At Spatie, we think we can improve the design of Ignition even more. Our initial plan was to release this new design in tandem with Laravel 9 as a big bang surprise release. We've changed our mind on this because we'd like to have feedback from the community.
In this blog post, I'd like to share our ideas and plans for Ignition.
Our team has released a new package called file-system-watcher. As the name implies, this package can watch changes in the file system and let you act on those changes.
Our team released a new package called spatie/fork. Using this package you can easily execute multiple pieces of code concurrently.
I'm proud to announce yet another package by our team: spatie/laravel-interacts-with-payload. This one, which was inspired by a blog post by James Brooks, can inject data in all your jobs with just one line of code.
In this video, you'll see the package in action, I explain the internals and the tests. If you prefer reading, continue below the video.
Our test-time package makes writing tests, for code that makes its decisions based on the current time, very easy.
Here's how we use the package for some tests in Mailcoach.
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new package called spatie/laravel-stats. This package is a lightweight solution for summarizing changes in your database over time.
YouTube star Povilas Korop shares and discusses five rules from our guidelines.

In this post I'd like to tell you more the package.
When you cancel a long-running artisan command with Ctrl+C, a SIGINT signal is sent by the operating system to the PHP process. You can use this signal to perform some cleanup quickly.
Symfony 5.2 introduced support for handling signals in commands.
We've released a package called spatie/laravel-signal-aware-commands that provides a substantial improvement to how you can use these signals in a Laravel app. In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it.
In this stream, you'll see me lay the foundations for the spatie/laravel-signal-aware-command package.
I'm proud to announce that Mailcoach v4 has been released. Mailcoach already was a great solution to send out bulk emails affordably. With an entirely refreshed UI and new capabilities, Mailcoach now becomes a more powerful platform for all things email:
We've also rewritten our extensive documentation.
In this blog post, I'd like to give you a tour of everything Mailcoach can do.
Here's a very cool video by Simon Vrachliotis on how to style forms with the tailwindcss form plugin.
I could immediately use this knowledge to style some forms on this very blog.
Using the newly released spatie/laravel-remote package, you can quickly execute Artisan commands on a remote server.
Here's an example that will clear the cache on the remote server.
php artisan remote cache:clear
In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it!
In this streaming session, you can see me build up the package from scratch. You can find the code seen in the stream in the spatie/laravel-remote repo on GitHub. If you want to learn how to build PHP and Laravel packages, consider purchasing our Laravel Package Training video course.
At Spatie, each one of our team members loves music. Scattered across our office are a couple of HomePods. Everyone in our team is free to stream his favourite music for others to hear (of course at an acceptable volume so everyone can still work).
This is a great way to discover music. In my mind, any automated algorithm that picks music for you is trumped what your friends and peers suggest to you.
Because of the pandemic, this way of sharing music with each other was lost. That's why our team will from now on create monthly playlists. The process is easy: every month we will choose a theme for the playlist and each team member picks two or three tracks.
The first theme is "Late Night Something" (it's not "late night coding" because not everyone on our team codes.
Here's our playlist on Apple Music. And here is the same playlist on Spotify.
Here's at the Spotify embed so you can listen from your browser too.
In this talk, given at Laracon Online 2020, I show a simple strategy to make any Laravel app tenant aware using our laravel-multitenancy package.
