Junior Code Review: 5 Tips for Over-Engineered Example

[@tusharnain6652]

Hi everyone, the featured code was mine (just a starter for a big project), which featured a directory structure designed for larger projects, thinking ahead about scalability. Povilas provided great feedback on it being over-engineered for a smaller project, which I completely agree with. Honestly i think using laravel for any small project is an overkill in itself (its like using a sword to kill a bee). It's a valuable reminder to balance complexity with the project's size. Also for the admin authentication, i chose to go with custom solution instead for breeze, etc is because its going to be more complex later. Highly recommend checking out this series if you're looking to improve your coding skills!

A project can be really small and still need authentication, authorization for resources control access, database management (migration, etc), notifications, queues, and so one! So its far from being a sword to kill a bee.

@o_lobato Imo, for smaller projects, we got smaller framework like CI4, etc

I remember when I was a beginner, my goal was to make a structure that can be extended without problems, for example using a global model class that extends Laravel's model and similar case for other vendor classes, 😅

I think a Trait should have been used here.

Hey how would you approche in laravel 11 translatable url slugs? When user switches pages language so it updates the slugs into url menu.

[@krekas]

The same way as with earlier laravel versions

We have a full course on multi-language Laravel, so pretty sure you will find it somewhere here, depending on what package (if any) you're using: laraveldaily.com/course/multi-language-laravel

I've seen a lot of "seniors" doing similar mistakes.
