Laravel CMSs Review: Creating a Simple Blog
In 1 hour, I'm trying to re-create the official Laravel blog with:
- Statamic
- Winter CMS
- Twill CMS
- ...and WordPress
Also discussing ecosystems and my personal opinion.

Observation: more senior developers prefer text-based tutorials over videos.
- It's easier for them to "skim" the text to skip something they already know,
- Also, they don't have as much free time to watch 30-minute live coding :)
Amirite?

I need to apologize publicly for something.
6-12 months ago, I was so negative about Tailwind CSS and was defending Bootstrap with all my heart.
I just didn't get/approve the "127 classes of almost-inline CSS" by Tailwind.
After doing a few projects, I get it now.
It's awesome.

Today is an important day for me.
It marks a FULL YEAR since I've been publishing YouTube videos every single day, including weekends and holidays.
January 30, 2021, was the last day without the video.
Yes, 365 videos in a row.
Will continue as long as I have energy/topics.

Made it!
The first video was published in April 2016, so it took more than 6 years, with 1042 videos.
It will still take a long time until actually physically get a Silver button, but still. One of the biggest life achievements for me personally, so far.

Many Laravel SaaS projects could be created like this.
1. Starter Kit: Jetstream/Breeze
2. Roles/permissions: spatie/permission
3. Multi-tenancy: stancl/tenancy
4. Payments: Laravel Spark
5. Adminpanel: Filament
6. ... (custom code)
7. Profit
Almost like no-code movement :)

Laravel tip.
For roles/permissions, you don't necessarily need any external packages.
Just create a DB structure like this one.

Confession: I grew up pretty poor.
My parents didn't have money to take me on any vacations abroad. Or even within Lithuania to the Baltic seaside.
Now I'm sitting in a lobby of a marvelous hotel in Malaga where I can afford to take my children.
Amazing feeling of achievement.

If you need Tailwind components but don't have money for Tailwind UI, you can use free components from Flowbite:

Today is a big day for me.
I officially stepped down from unofficial position of "team leader" for client work.
No more client dev/management work for me, now teammates work directly with the (leftover) clients.
LaravelDaily now is a product/content business.
New era begins.

I want to express my appreciation to one person.
It amazes me how much of *very complex* JavaScript

had to write so many of us could avoid writing ANY JavaScript.

2. The ones who haven't tried Laravel yet

I see some developers keep saying that PHP is crap.
Usually, they had tried/seen PHP only in the 90s/2000s.

After all those years of publishing content, it's weird that it's only my first official contribution to the framework itself :)
This release of Laravel also includes a "--requests" flag when making models via Artisan. This option will create a "Store{Model}Request" and "Update{Model}Request" form request + update the controller to use those requests on their respective methods. 🔥
Thanks

You can enforce specific rules for passwords, for ALL your project, globally, by using the Password::defaults method, in your AppServiceProvider.

Am I the only one who prefers good old readable if-statement?
Hey Laravel Developers 👩💻
A common scenario in programming is assigning a value to a variable based on a condition or otherwise setting it to null.
Typically, we define a null variable and then assign the actual value inside an if statement.
In Laravel, we can simplify this

Hey, psst.
Let me tell you a secret.
Your clients don't care if it's Bootstrap with jQuery and not Tailwind with Vue.
That's it. That's the tweet.

Laravel tip.
If you're adding a few DB columns after a specific column, don't repeat `->after()` in Migrations.
You may group all those new columns in the callback of `$table->after()`.

Today I'm turning 37.
I like to set/analyze year goals not in January, but on my birthday.
So 37th year was hugely important for me: I reached my long-term goal and went full-time as a course creator and Youtuber. No client work anymore. Less stress.
Excited for the 38th year!

PHP 8 added a Null Safe operator, which allows you to chain the objects and not worry about some of them being NULL.

Yesterday at
@LaraconOnline
Taylor announced a great initiative - a step-by-step guide for newcomers on how to create a Laravel app.
But when I checked it, apparently these days you must (?) use Inertia/Vue/React, and no one builds pages with just Blade?

While we're all on the topic of Laravel vs JS, we need to thank two people.
1.
@calebporzio
for Livewire and Alpine
2.
@reinink
for Inertia
They both wrote so much very complex JS, so we back-enders would have to write less/none of it.
Unsung superheroes.
TALL+VILT forever.

Laravel tip of the day. Or, rather, open to discussion.
Sometimes, for better readability of Eloquent statement with a lot of conditions, I like to add "::query()" and put all conditions aligned below.
Doesn't change the behavior, but makes it more readable.
Is it only me?
43
48

PHP/Laravel tip.
Instead of doing the `foreach` loop through an array to search for the record value, you can use the Laravel Collection method `contains()`.

Pretty random: most of the money you pay for my courses and products, will go to buying a new family apartment in 2022-2023.
With two children, we would be able to move from the current 54 sq.m. flat, to a 100 sq.m. one, in 2023.
Thanks for your support!

I just realized another reason why PHP is slow to be adopted in companies.
Devs tried PHP 10 years ago, didn't like it.
Now they are grown-up seniors, managers and TECH DECISION MAKERS in the companies.
But they haven't tried PHP since then.

Just saw this line of code on Laracasts forum.
$pat = Patient::get();
Dear developers, don't try to save a few bytes on variable names.

A patient is a patient.

I realized why design patterns are hard to understand in practice with Laravel.
Patterns are mostly about OOP and creating classes/interfaces with some repeating logic.
In Laravel, the framework itself already abstracts almost all interactions with interfaces/OOP for us.

Want to grow from a junior developer to a mid-senior?
Create a project with DB tables with 10 million records.
Introduce multi-tenancy.
Test it with a lot of concurrent users.
While building/fixing it, you will learn most of what you need for mid-senior positions.

Unpopular opinion: in Blade, I prefer HTML over x-whatever syntax.
I can read/understand HTML immediately.
With slots/components, I need to dig deeper to understand what's inside or how to edit.
Compare Breeze/Jetstream vs UI.
I'm old, I started with simple HTML, don't @ me.
