Awesome 😎 They have a nice API but it’s very open-ended as to what response format comes back, depending on the model you choose, so might need some consideration re Prism’s tasteful DX πŸ‘Œ I’ll see what I can do when I have some time as well. Cheers!

Great talk TJ! πŸ‘ Prism is the real deal.

Any thoughts on adding more abstracted response formats from providers like Replicate?

I rolled my own implementation but would love to just be able to use a single Laravel package for any generative AI task I can think of… ✨ πŸ€”

I’ve been using Solo as my daily devtool for Horizon, Pail, Octane, and Vite for about 3 weeks now. It’s really good! Rolled it out to our team as well. Thanks for a great utility πŸ™πŸ»

I was mind-blown to learn this from your stream too! After 15 years of PHP there isn’t much left to surprise me, but this one caught me off guard… Looking forward to never actually using it in reality though πŸ˜‚

This is a great book! I got a copy for Christmas one year, still like to dip in when things get tough. Highly recommended

It was CodeIgniter 2 for me. Good times… things were simpler back then!

I’ll be having a proper play around with it in the next few days. The docs look great too, how are you finding Mintlify? It’s on my radar to use sooner or later as well.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Working on a project with some complex user-customisable icon requirements, this solves a whole bunch of pain points. Nice one πŸ™Œ

@joshwcomeau.com Thanks for your article on CSS contain, it was super helpful just when I needed it πŸ™ More generally though, your website is a total delight! I loved the little character popping out to ask me to join the newsletter (which I happily did). Very cool, delightfully whimsical, big fan πŸ‘

We use Plausible but I’m tempted by Fathom lately (plus they run their platform on Laravel too)

How strange! Well I’m glad it’s working now πŸ˜… Did you have a DB and session table setup beforehand? That might explain it if not.

If it’s not coming back in the response, check your session settings as well. A cookie is often sent which includes the token, but if the cookie is cross-origin or there’s some kind of HTTPS issue in dev, that might explain why Axios isn’t picking it up too.

Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans Laravel is a PHP web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation β€” freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

Got it… Inertia’s useForm uses Axios behind the scenes. In devtools, can you see an XSRF-TOKEN header being sent in the Ajax request? Axios should include this automatically via Inertia, but if it isn’t, you might need to update axios.defaults.withCredentials. More here: laravel.com/docs/11.x/sa...

How are you submitting the forms? Is this with an HTTP POST request, via Ajax, through a frontend framework, or something else? Also, which session driver are you using? We can solve this! πŸ’ͺ
