I really believe Laravel is the most productive way to build applications. There's no fullstack experience even remotely close. But asides the tools, the community is freaking awesome. I promise you want to be a part of it. Totally changed my life.♥️

Sometimes, you could clean up your whereHas() with a whereRelation(). #Laravel

Whenever possible, avoid leaking database keys in your codebase. This is one of my most held #Laravel best practices. This generally make your codebase future-proof. It also resonates with the popular quote: "Make the change easy, then make the easy change" Common examples:👇

I took Laravel's Pipeline a bit too far 😀 Blown away by how this massively improved our Telegram onboarding flow. 🤯

I love how easy it is to combine two local scopes with the "OR" clause using #Eloquent's `orWhere` magic property 🔥 #Laravel

💡Building APIs with #Laravel? truth is, you cannot guarantee that your users will always send you the `Accept: application/json` header. This simple global middleware, will save you time explaining why your validation/auth errors are redirecting instead of returning JSON.

⚡️ #Laravel devs, are you differing more work to #Eloquent? Did you know that the whereRelation() method can do more than you might expect? Most times, your whereHas() may be even more succinct with whereRelation().

🔥The #Laravel rescue() helper is such a convenient helper. I almost never write try-catch blocks anymore. 😎 You can pass a callback to it as the first argument, and an optional second argument as the default result if an exception is thrown within the callback. 🚀

💡#Laravel devs, have you ever tried to update a column in the db with the value of another column? DB::raw() has got you for this. 👌

💡 #Laravel devs, a very simple implementation of FULLTEXT search can take you very far with searching your #Eloquent models. 🚀 90% of the time, you really don't need to reach for a package like laravel/scout, especially if you don't plan on using algolia/meilisearch drivers.
