The @if with a @foreach still makes sense for when your results are in a table with headings and you don’t want to show the table unless there are results.

If you're flashing a session whenever user interracts with a model, you can use observer instead of flashing the session manually in every crud methods.

[@deastortion]

[@ekwiz]

Great 👌

[@aregsarkissian2686]

Thanks for another excellent tutorial. Been a fan of your Laravel contributions for a while. I do want to mention one thing though when you said that sometimes junior developers pass the User from the controller to the view. I actually think it is the opposite. Senior developers understand that you want to remove logic as much as possible from your views and just pass dumb data into views. This makes all your logic testable by checking the data being passed into the view in your tests. In fact I would even go further and say you shouldn't pass the User into the view and instead just pass a user_is_authenticated bit into the view that the view can check. Now in this specific case I don't think doing the auth check using the Laravel helper in the view is bad, because Laravel is a well tested framework. I only want to make sure that the junior developer statement does not make developers think, that pulling logic out of the view and then passing in the resulting data into views, makes them a junior dev.

[@SergeyNeskhodovskiy]

You make a good point. Overall, I find the entire blade somewhat archaic in front of the JAMStack approach in general.

[@cardboarddignity]

In order to dump some data in the view, not in the log file while keeping the other code executing, simply use dump() instead of dd()

I like making a User::current(); and then depending on the project i'll also have Company::current(); or Team::current(); so i'll have the same syntax for any model that represents the user

[@muhammadfarhanahmed9280]

good content

[@j.oliveira]

Some of those helpers remove the `use` but they also hide that dependency. When you open the file to read it, you won't know all the dependencies that file has because they are hidden in those helpers.

[@Jurigag]

Exactly this, i hate this about laravel community - that they try to use those helpers everywhere. In our projects we use laravel but we try to avoid those helpers as much is possible.

[@bubblesort6368]

Yeah) This is rails thinking, write less code at any cost. Laravel inherits that philosophy, but allow write better code with DI)

just the tips 😁👍

[@JouvaMoufette]

I like most of these, since they're just a shorter way of doing specific things and a shorter syntax. The only one I can't recommend is the bcrypt one, since if you DO later decide to change that method of hashing, now you've got more than a config to change and have to find any references to bcrypt in the code. Everything else is great

Hi Author! First of wish to really thank you for what you are doing. In my project every there weren’t any issue, solution to which I couldn’t find on your channel :) Wanted to ask a little bit complex question. I am new to laravel. How do you think, if my goal is to make a simple social network with profiles, news feed and status program , will laravel framework be enough for me, or Laravel is only for more simple CRUD projects?

[@LaravelDaily]

Laravel can handle any large projects, but it's not the framework that writes the code, so no one can guarantee that your written Laravel code will be optimized

thx you for the tips, can you do a backend tips for laravel, like creating apis. maybe shorter way to make if($request->has("name");){ array_push($data,$request->name); } .... model::create($data); or maybe the best way to handle the error to the frontend instead of catch then $th->getMessage(); i also notice that in the api routing i can't use resource for all basic controller function or it just me

I wonder where the Auth::user() came from? Is it automatically select the logged in users id and do I need to use the auth command to be able to use it? Thanks and godbless

[@LaravelDaily]

Yes it automatically returns the logged in user, full object, not only ID. Another way is auth()->user() returns the same thing If you need only ID, then auth()->id()

[@jannusdomingo5681]

@@LaravelDaily basically laravel knows the table users column, because of their default User, UserModel etc. when installing a fresh laravel app. I also wonder if I can make a custom Authentication to access other column? Ex: Auth::anothertable()->get_columns

TailwindCSS, Thousan of line repeated messed up - No Problem Php (inside blade) 2 line of if else - Its time to Fixed up things. 😁

[@j.oliveira]

You only repeat the css if you want. Use components. It's easier to use and manage. ;)

[@Jurigag]

I will be honest - most of the time shorter doesn't mean better. Especially using helpers is kind of bad for better quality of code.

[@tim.bogdanov]

shorter does not always mean better.

[@object_name]

Am i the only one that thinks, some of these helpers should not be used. For me they sometimes make it harder to work on the code, because you can just access them anywhere. For example the "auth()" - helper. It could be used in some blade component deep inside the navigation for example to link to the user profile without you knowing that the component requires the user to be authenticated. Breaking the code in a not authenticated environment. Also : abort_if, throw_if and alikes never felt natural to me especially since the IDE does not seem to support the control flow form for syntax highlighting and deduction of variable types. I in general prefer a few characters more to achieve some expressiveness where necessary.

[@kirayamato6128]

Php are so bad at logging at command line. At my point i use laravel and logging some variables are stored in storage folder which in my case i don't want to. That's why i use symfony package "console output" so that it will output the variables in command line/cmd. But in most cases i doesn't accept arrays which is bullshit for me. In other programming languages like java, you can just use *println* in any variables you want to output in command line and it accepts string, obejcts or arrays. Simple as that. I don't know why PHP is like that lol
