Hi Dary, I hope you continue with this series as someone who is still learning Laravel you gave alotof great tips.

[@codewithdary]

Thank you Jack! If the video performs well (and it's doing right now) I will definitely continue on making more of these!

[@Tux0xFF]

This channel is a goldmine, you dont get to see these type of reviews and content unless its premium content, glad that i found it

[@codewithdary]

Thank you so much for the compliments, means the world to me

[@baochungpro1996]

Great, please continue with this kinda series. Thanks so much, Dary.

[@codewithdary]

Will do, thank you so much!

[@petermwangi7274]

Much informative Dary. Definitely looking to more of your code review tutorials.

[@codewithdary]

Thanks, will do Peter!

[@basharumar2912]

promise fulfilled! Thank you mr Dary and looking forward to having more tutorials like this.

[@codewithdary]

Appreciate the kind words Bashar. If it performs well, I will definitely continue on making content like this!

Hey Dary, At 22:33, the "validated" method is more convenient than the "only" method.

[@codewithdary]

Both options work fine, there isn't a right or wrong right here, I'm just not really a fan of it. I prefer to explicitly define and insert data into the database. Completely fine using the other method.

[@b3rking]

Hello dary, thanks for the review and for the corrections, i'll make sure to apply them in my next versions. Again thanks a lot, it means a lot. Keep it up!

[@codewithdary]

Appreciate it, keep on going with the good work!!

[@GavinKimpson]

Dude your videos are great, you'll be at 100k subscribers in no time!

[@codewithdary]

Thank you so much Gavin, I hope so!!

[@user-rv5rm1yl1g]

That's a good video! But I have a few points that concerns me. If you injected FormRequest class instead of general Request, then you don't need to call "$request->validated()" to trigger validation. It would be taken care of by Laravel itself. I think it's not a good point to use "auth()" helper inside any models function - it seem not obvious and has it's own issues. I would use "$this" instead. For me it seem more convenient.

[@codewithdary]

Yes, that is true in Laravel. If you inject a FormRequest class instead of the general Request class, you don't need to call "$request->validated()" to trigger validation. Laravel automatically handles the validation process when using FormRequest classes.

[@grzesiekb9142]

$request->validated() returns only validated fields. You can safly use $model->update( $request->validated() ) i think...

[@codewithdary]

That is correct. The source code will not get into the method if the validation passes, so it does not really matter whether you use the $request validated or the values directly.

[@DCBlogdev]

brilliant video 👏

[@codewithdary]

Appreciate it David, especially coming from you!

[@basharumar2912]

i hope one day you will teach us more about the difference between policies and guardes,listeners and observers etc.

[@codewithdary]

Will do in the future!!

[@newtonjob7611]

@avfr Observers are simply listeners for model events. You can't choose to use one or the other. You also cannot manually fire model events from a controller, since they're internally fired by eloquent.

[@igerardogc]

What theme, font and spacing are u using? Nice video

[@codewithdary]

Theme: SynthWave 84 (Material) Font: Monaco Line height: 1.4

[@ricardozapanta6656]

Hi Dary what extension do you use to see what type of the value needed inside the parameters ex: $table->string(column: 'extension'); the "column""

[@jjplays404]

at 8:45, how your methods are showing key like $table->string(column: "something") which extension you are using to show "column" thing?

[@basharumar2912]

what is the difference between using foreign or foreignID and which is better?

[@codewithdary]

The main difference between the two methods is that foreignId() is a shorthand method that automatically creates a column with an unsigned big integer data type and adds the foreign key constraint to that column. This can simplify the syntax of creating a foreign key constraint.

[@ramzibenssaci2007]

thank you dary i have simple question why you sometimes use ->value and sometimes not i means in enum

[@codewithdary]

The ->value method is used to retrieve the underlying value of an enum instance. Enums in Laravel are implemented as objects, and ->value allows you to access the actual value stored within the enum rather than the enum object itself!

[@MightyKingKala]

Amazing video thanks

[@codewithdary]

Glad you enjoyed it Isaac!

[@abukhalid5890]

putting $guarded=[] (empty array) in the model is same as $fillable=[..all request keys here..] and i think you cant put both of these two variables in the same model

[@codewithdary]

I'm pretty sure you can't because these two properties are used to specify which attributes are mass assignable and which are not, respectively. Well, you technically can, but Laravel will prioritize $guarded and ignore $fillable, which could lead to unexpected behavior in your application.

[@tharakadoo]

Hey Dary big fan

[@codewithdary]

Thank you so much Tara

[@pauliusjankauskas8028]

Why do need $request->validated() in controller since it returns validated data from request? Doesn't validation happen automatically?

[@codewithdary]

That works too, just not a fan of using so many things behind the scenes :)

[@codewithdary]

Quick add on btw; I'm reviewing code how I should do it, not saying that it's the best way, just my way.

[@pauliusjankauskas8028]

Yap, there is no best way to do it. Need to make a choice from many ways for particual situation.

[@pauliusjankauskas8028]

Just was wondering if didn't make a typo, because as i knew $request->validated() returns only validated data from a request and not do validation it self. For validation, i was using $request->validate().

[@grzesiekb9142]

@@codewithdary If I understand correctly validation as a formrequest then the data is always validated behind the scenes. When you use request->validated() then you only return validated data but you don't assign it anywhere. It makes no sense to me to use this method in your example.

[@REAZNx]

6:22 Locale is pronounced “low-kal” 🙂

[@codewithdary]

Thank you Lewis. Sounds like low-kal-ories 😜

[@newtonjob7611]

Is there really such a method as `required` on the ColumnDefinition? Never heard of it 🤔

[@codewithdary]

Whoops no, I was a bit mixed-up with another framework, sorry for that!

[@karlson2804]

Wery nice👍🫡

[@codewithdary]

Thank you so much Karl
