? The "pluck" method in Laravel's collections can take a string with dots to get a list of deeply nested values. You can also add a star to combine deeply nested lists ?https://t.co/qckA0dLw45 pic.twitter.com/3im6dGYoTi

Can also be handy if you got a stack trace from a remote server log. pic.twitter.com/OVRb5KnBJQ
Stay up to date with all things Laravel, PHP, and JavaScript.
You can follow me on these platforms:
On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.
Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.
Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.
Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
While working on a package I found myself trying to combine some data. This is what my code looked like. Assume that $locales and $fields are arrays that are already populated. collect($locales)->each(function (string $locale) { collect($fields)->each(function (Field $field) use ($locale)…
Last week Adam Wathan's excellent Laracon US talk was published. Highly recommened to check it out even if you don't use Laravel.
At the LaraconLive India conference, Shawn McCool shared some interesting ideas on how to handle models in complex apps.
If you want to speak at the 2019 edition of the conference, you'll be happy to learn that they currently have a CFP running.
Besides enjoying some greenfield work, we often have to work on legacy projects at Spatie too. Sometimes those projects don't run on the latest PHP version. I this blogpost I'd like to show you a way to switch PHP version easily when using Laravel Valet. (I know you could also use Docker or…
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',…
After tweeting out a screenshot, it often get questions around which editor, font or color scheme I'm using. Instead of replying to those questions individually I've decided to just write down the settings and apps that I'm using. IDE I mainly program PHP. Mostly I develop in PhpStorm. Here's a…

My colleague Brent shares how we've been structuring our non-trivial projects at Spatie.
In this post we'll look at a different approach of structuring large code bases into separate domains. The name "domain" is derived from the popular paradigm DDD, or also: domain driven design.

Every friend I have with a job that involves picking up something heavier than a laptop more than twice a week eventually finds a way to slip something like this into conversation: “Bro,1 you don’t work hard. I just worked a 4700-hour week digging a tunnel under Mordor with a screwdriver.” They have a point. Mordor sucks, and it’s certainly more physically taxing to dig a tunnel than poke at a keyboard unless you’re an ant. But, for the sake of the argument, can we agree that stress and insanity are bad things? Awesome. Welcome to programming.

In a new post on his blog Senior CEO Frederick Vanbrabant explains the Integration Operation Segregation Principle, which is programmerspeak for splitting your code into nice little testable bits.
As you can see the Integration Operation Segregation Principle is just a long and complicated term to describe something very simple. This all might seem like a lot of work, but it’s worth it. Your code and especially your tests will thank you later

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.

In a new post on her blog Jessica Mauerhan has some good examples on the various types of test doubles.
Did you know that a Mock is only one type of a test double? Most of us use the word “mock” to mean any kind of test double, but there’s actually five different types. It really can help you understand what you’re trying to accomplish with your test if you know a little bit more what you’re doing with your test doubles, so this article will explain the kinds of test doubles, when you use them, how you use them and why.
