[@Z4KIUS]

with composer it may be tricky, if you run update you may encounter some breaking changes even, one package with poorly defined requirements or one package that doesn't respect semver is enough to break a project so manual editing of composer.json and running update after that in some edge cases will cause issues (I've encountered that in two projects already), I'd prefer to find the package name and use CLI to install only that package without updating others first thing and only when that works and I have enough time for testing and potential fixes run update as a separate step

May I know which theme you are using in your PHPStorm? It looks really nice! Thx

[@librasulus]

There is also a shortcut for surrounding a selection with tags, it's Ctr+Alt+T

[@zaibalo]

Btw, composer has built-in search functionality. In terminal, just run “composer require” without arguments, it will run in interactive mode, where you can search packages, select from list of suggestions and define version constraint or accept default one.

[@Yaten]

great video

[@NeverCodeAlone]

Thx always new stuff there. How do you train for yourself?

[@EL_PANDA_742]

Which shortcut toggles the sidebar? Like VSCODE CMD + B

Is it possible use Colon (:) character in the url using Laravel route?

[@bashardlaleh2110]

is there like a free version of phpStorm or all is paid ?

[@Samuel.Mwangi]

Phpstorm is a paid product. The free alternative is mostly vscode. I have used the community version of Intellij Idea with a php plugin many years ago (when I was mostly coding in Java) but it isn't much fun for purely php projects.

[@enigmatics-lives]

There’s a free version for educational purposes

[@NeverCodeAlone]

Maybe Visual Studio Code is an option. Many develepers use it also for PHP and it is a lot faster on indexing on branch changes and so on.

[@yolbulucu]

if you find a school mail (ends with .edu) you can use it for free. there are online services that lets you have free .edu mail

[@Z4KIUS]

few versions ago something bad happened to search and now it orders things in a really inconvenient way, often putting things found in vendor above the project itself

[@ARMONEY666]
