A package to create Livewire powered wizards in no time
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new package called laravel-livewire-wizard. Using this package, you can set up multi-step wizards quickly using Livewire.
The package is headless, which means that it provides no UI itself, but it makes it easy to build any UI you desire.
You can easily control which step is displayed, access state of other steps, and build any navigation you desire.
I'd like to introduce the package to you in this blog post.

How to add a spotlight-like search field to your Laravel app
As developers, we tend to like shortcuts to speed up our workflow. One of the tools I'm using to speed up doing stuff on my Mac is Raycast. It offers a lovely command palette that allows opening apps and URLs, working with clipboard history, and much more.
Wouldn't it be nice to also add such a command palette to a Laravel app? This way, power users of your app can get around quickly and perform small tasks without having to click around.
The good news is that there's already a package to add such a thing: Spotlight by Philo Hermans. In this blog post, I'd like to show how we use this fantastic package at Oh Dear.

Adapter Pattern in PHP
Link – – www.juststeveking.uk - submitted by Steve McDougall
Of all of the design patterns you could use in your code, the adapter pattern is one of my all time favourites. It allows you to abstract the implementation to an adapter that implements an interface. so you can switch implementation simply by switching the adapter.

Consume less, create more

"Were previous generations really better off because they merely watched TV, or listened to radio, or read books? All of these activities are passive. All of these activities involve letting external thoughts temporarily replace your own. Today’s smartphones differ from medieval books only in degree—all media is created to be consumed. I had to start creating."
So much this!

From PHPUnit To Pest
A couple of months I go I had the honour giving a talk at the GPUG usergroup on how to convert a PHPUnit testsuite to Pest.
Nowadays, I use Pest as the default testrunner for every package / project that I start.
