    Like the idea of UUIDs in #Laravel models, but hate the giant, hyphen-separated strings? I'm about to release a new implementation of Snowflake IDs that give you globally-unique, ordered, numeric IDs. (Same as what Twitter and Discord use.)
    <?php class User extends Model { use HasSnowflakes; } <?php $user = User::create(); $user->id; // 65964362933587969

    There's so much more that I want to eventually open-source, too. Like check out this beautiful date-picker…

    How many times a week do you dump a model in #laravel and then have to scroll down to the attributes and expand them? laravel-dumper brings the model attributes to the top of the dd() output for easier debugging.
    Before and after showing a bunch of useless debug data in a dd() output next to useful dd() output.

    Introducing `glhd/linen` — lightweight spreadsheets for Laravel. We've been using this code internally for a while and I finally decided to break it out into a package. It's dead simple, with minimal configuration and a low memory footprint. Check it out…
    <?php // Reading files $sheet = ExcelReader::from('my/sheet.xlsx'); foreach ($sheet as $row) { // $row is a Collection of data } <?php // Writing files $query = User::select(['id', 'name', 'email']); ExcelWriter::for($query)->write('my/sheet.xlsx') <?php // Both CSV and Excel support… ExcelReader::from(...); CsvReader::from(...); ExcelWriter::for(...); CsvWriter::for(...); // Or automatic by MIME type/extension… Linen::read('my/sheet.csv'); Linen::write($data, 'my/sheet.xlsx');

    And here's the current API. The wizard now supports Laravel-style rules for each step! 🔥
    <form x-data="{ name: '', age: 0, coppa: false }"> <div x-wizard:step.rules="{ age: 'required|numeric|min:1|max:120' }"> Your Age: <input x-model.number="age" name="age" /> </div> <div x-wizard:if="age < 13" x-wizard:step="coppa === true"> <input type="checkbox" x-model="coppa" name="coppa" /> I have my parent's consent to register </div> <div x-wizard:step.rules="{ name: 'required' }"> Your Name: <input x-model="name" name="name" /> </div> <button x-show="$wizard.isNotLast()" @click="$wizard.next()" :disabled="$wizard.cannotGoForward()"> Next </button> <button x-show="$wizard.isLast()" :disabled="$wizard.isNotComplete()" type="submit"> Submit </button> </div>

    Alright. I just tagged the first stable pre-release of Laravel Dumper: github.com/glhd/laravel-d… Just `composer require` and instantly get improved `dd()` and `dump()` output for most Laravel core classes (like Models, Query Builders, the Service Container, etc).

    Hoping to launch the 0.1 release of Dawn by early next week!
    Coming Soon! Dawn: A new Experimental Browser-testing Package For Laravel. <?php No special dusk test case: REMOVED: class ExampleTest extends DuskTestCase ADDED: class ExampleTest extends TextCase { Use DB transactions and RefreshDatabase: REMOVED: use DatabaseMigrations; ADDED: use RefreshDatabase; ADDED: use RunsBrowserTests; public function test_basic_example() { $user = User::factory()->create(); Write regular Laravel tests… just with a browser: REMOVED: $this->browse(function($browser) use ($user) { REMOVED: $browser->loginAs($user) ADDED: $this->actingAs($user) ADDED: ->openBrowser() ->visit('/home') ->press('Dashboard') ->assertSee($user->name); REMOVED: }); } } It's fast, too! Our early benchmarks are 50-60% faster!

    I find that 90% of the the time, the @laravelphp commands that I write follow the exact same pattern: - Query some data - Perform some operation on each row Internally, we have a trait that simplifies this immensely. I'm working on open-sourcing it right now.
    class ProcessUnverifiedUsersCommand extends Command { // Add one trait to your command use ConveyorBelt\IteratesIdQuery; // Set up a query for the data you'll be operating on public function query() { return User::query() ->whereNull('email_verified_at') ->orderBy('id'); } // Add a function to handle each record public function handleRow(User $user) { $this->progressMessage("{$user->name} <{$user->email}>"); $days = $user->created_at->diffInDays(now()); if (1 === $days) { $this->progressSubmessage('Sending reminder'); Mail::send(new EmailVerificationReminderMail($user)); } if ($days >= 7) { $this->progressSubmessage('Queuing to be pruned'); PruneUnverifiedUserJob::dispatch($user); } } }

    Imagine a world where you could use `x-rules` in @Alpine_JS with @laravelphp-style validation rules and get browser-native errors… 👨‍🍳

    I'm so excited about the release of #Laravel 9. A bunch of folks have outlined the major highlights of this release, so I want to take a second to talk about the few contributions I've made and why I'm excited about them! 👇

    The fact that I can create such a flexible custom @Alpine_JS directive in ~10 mins is just incredible.
    <span x-typed.speed.100.delay.750="['hello', 'world']" >
