This is so cool- I’m putting a pin in this for later. I used to have a flipdot display similarly sized- gah thanks for sharing

Jacob talks about the Laravel Unique package, which provides a trait for Laravel Eloquent models to ensure a field remains unique within specified constraints.

[9.x] Handle requests in test (rather than separate server process) by inxilpro · Pull Request #1170 · laravel/dusk Right now, Dusk makes requests to a separate server process. This has a few downsides: Test setup needs to run via special _dusk/ routes rather than using normal factories/setup Special .env.dusk ...

If you've been following along with my Dusk experiments, I just put up a draft PR: github.com/laravel/dusk...

If you have a big Dusk test suite, I would *love* for you to pull down my version and see how it works for you…

major league idea 💡 #PhillyWantsBen

Drag & drop in Laravel Prompts is cool, but right click context menus? Super cool surely?! 😁

Somebody tell me I'm not going too far 👀 Anyone?!

YouTube video by Chris Morrell The Only Meeting You Absolutely Need - John Rudolph Drexler - PHP×Philly

The recording of @johnrudolphdrexler.com's talk from @phpxphilly.com is up!

This was a *great* talk (even if I managed to not record the first 4 mins of audio 😭). Everyone who is on a team should watch it.

default to Livewire guy... I am looking to get into React/ReactNative/**Expo** - so if anyone has any courses they would like to recommend, I'd love to hear em', thank you!

``` <?php namespace App\Concerns\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasUuids; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Support\Str; trait HasRMSID { use HasUuids; public static function bootHasRMSID(): void { static::creating(function (Model $model) { $model->forceFill([ 'short_uuid' => $model->short_uuid ?? Str::afterLast($model->uuid, '-'), ]); }); } } ```

I use auto-incrementing ids for under-the-hood relations; and public facing is uuid 4 trails.

instead of `/users/9d962027-f7ac-4fa3-97b3-3d8e614a6da2` this becomes:
`/users/3d8e614a6da2`.

works for me, and for my users :)

For the most part, all public models have our little model trait:

So thankful 😌!

I have a tab dedicated only to shengs feed

@sheng.dev one of your followers is super dedicated 😚

Hey - I really like this PR!

Multi-selects just dropped in Flux!

Been a long time coming on this one. Building a good searchable multi-select is...well...not easy lol

Dig it in a fancy lil blog post I slapped up: fluxui.dev/blog/2024-11...

I know every time @joe.codes goes on stage we all crap our pants and go, "holy smokes Joe." But good grief.

Just merged in another big feature in for @filamentphp.com v4... native two-factor authentication!

It's driver-based, so you can replace the "Google Authenticator-style app" with email (also a built-in driver) or SMS codes if you want.

A dedicated `OneTimeCodeInput` form field too 🧑‍🎨

Like almost all social media platforms in their early days, the vibes are great right now because everyone’s posting about the things they love.

It always goes south when everyone starts posting about the things they hate.

How about this time we all agree to keep it this way?

I had a great time tonight at PHPxPhilly. It was great to talk to you all! Great job on your talk @sifrious.bsky.social! Big thanks to @cmorrell.com for organizing & @andrewmead.bsky.social for hosting!

The PHP×Philly meetup tonight was amazing. We had 6 people at the last one and 20 tonight. For a second I was worried that we weren’t all going to fit!

It was a joy to meet a bunch of Laravel devs from the area, and see some new friends for the second or third time. Can’t wait for the next one!

We took the Inertia.js infinite scroll component for 2.0 and turbo boosted it:

- ⬆️ Reverse infinite scroll
- 👬 Multiple infinite scroll components on the same page
- 🔃 *Two way* infinite scroll
- 🔗 Syncing page state in URL
- 🖱️ Manual mode after X requests

🚀👨‍🚀

Speed run to get it under one minute:
