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…

Oooh. Just hit a UUID collision.

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).

One of these days I'm going to get around to the 1.0 release of this universal address input component…

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']"
>
