I’m excited to attend @LaraconUS , but I need help with travel expenses. This chance means the world to me! Please consider donating or sharing. Every bit counts! #Laravel gofundme.com/f/help-jeffrey…
After reflecting on the last 7 days and the support I have received from the @laravelphp community is a real blessing. I’ve been developing Laravel applications since 2014. I can’t believe that I’ve been given an opportunity to meet people I’ve admired over the years.
Laravel's Collection::ensure() 🔒 Validate the type of every item in your collection — or get an exception 💥 Supports class names and primitive types like 'int', 'string', 'bool', etc. Super handy for safe mapping 💡
I am just blessed by the number of people who have contributed to helping this year's Laracon US be a success. Even if you aren't able to contribute I understand but please reshare this message. ❤🙏 gofund.me/01b19795 Remember "We must ship" @taylorotwell
The scariest part for me come Tuesday will be meeting people. There will be a couple of people I know but trying to take everything in and not get overwhelmed with it all. I want to be able to meet other people but still shy sometimes.
if there is anyone going to @LaraconUS and don't have plans, especially with the After Party being filled up contact me and lets find a place to do meetup.
Validation rules with first-class callables? Match made in heaven. 🫶
5 days until @LaraconUS ! 🏔️ If you see anyone wearing this shirt (especially me), go up and say hey! The team (especially me) loves chatting with as many people as possible Laracon Hallway Track 4 Lyfe!
If you see someone in this, they are a Laravel Core Team member and want to talk to you! We got 3 each so we don't stink by the end of Laracon.... a lesson I wish I hadn't learned through experience 😅
I've updated my goal based on real numbers and deals found for hotel and airline tickets. I would appreciate any help to get to Laracon US. gofundme.com/f/help-jeffrey…

Alright, got a half hour till the kids wake up. Cookin' up a new Flux component: Popovers (Generic multi-use dropdowny things) Hit me screenshots of popovers from your app or you've seen in the wild and want our take on!

Drop this convenient `owns()` method in your User models and thank me later 💅 PS: It doesn't query the database. // Newton
Every time I create a timestamp column, there's typically a corresponding boolean accessor that goes with it. I'd use that instead for conditional checks, frontend v-model/x-model, validation, etc. The accessor takes care of setting the underlying timestamp when the boolean is…
One of the only parts of Laravel I was disgusted by is now fixed. 🧼 When defining a local scope, you no longer have to prefix the method name with "scope". You can just add the new Scope attribute to the method. Thank you @SHaedrich and @crynobone. 🫶 laravel.com/docs/12.x/eloq…
