🐴I'm incredibly excited to announce the release of Roach, the complete web scraping toolkit for PHP.
I'm super proud of this package and hope that you will find it useful, too!

🔥 I keep finding these sweet conveniences in Laravel’s HTTP client. For instance, there’s a `withToken` method to attach the `Authorization` header to a request.
So much nice than having to add it manually. 🥰

🤞Posting publicly to hold myself accountable.
📘 I'm writing a book on database indexing for developers. Here’s the initial braindump of all the topics I want to explain in the book.
There will be a free web version and a paid PDF.
Please RT so I can’t bail out on this. 😅

@jeffrey_way

@taylorotwell
(for Laravel),
@adamwathan
(for Tailwindcss) and most recently
@reinink
(for Inertia.js) for basically all of my career.
So, uhh.. thanks guys.

💡 Did you know that there’s a built-in way of getting all supported time zones in PHP? No need to hard code that stupid array every single time 😅

The first chapter of my book on database indexing will be about this basic query:
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_id = ?;
If you think that’s too simple, think again! Not only does the query time improve by 2 orders of magnitude, there’s a ton of stuff to learn about indices.

🌟 Eloquent tip
If you need to insert or update a whole bunch of records in a loop, don't use `Model::updateOrCreate`.
Instead, use the `DB` facade's `upsert` method to use your database's built-in upsert functionality to do the whole thing in one query!

I always find it weird when people claim that
@tailwindcss
is difficult to maintain. Maintainability is one of the main benefits in my opinion.
I can immediately be productive on every project that uses Tailwind without having to understand its bespoke CSS conventions 😍

I wish every API implemented a simple `/ping` endpoint so I can test if my auth token works.
I hate having to look through the docs to find the endpoint that returns the least sensitive or least amount of data to use as a "check", only to then complete discard that data 🙈

I think I've figured out a really nice way of dealing with multi-step setup/wizards in Laravel. So dealing with things like persisting state between steps, automatically registering the required routes, etc.
I wonder if this is something people might be interested in 🤔

I cannot stress enough how important consistency is to getting things done. You don't have to work in crazy 14 hour bursts.
Chip away at it. Every. Single. Day. Even if it's just two minutes.
*Anything* is better than doing nothing. And it really adds up fast.

🔥 If you’re using
@tailwindcss
together with a front-end router (like vue-router) that automatically attaches various “active” classes to your links, you can write a plugin so you don’t have to write any custom CSS to style active links.

🐴 I love, love, love this feature so much.
Scraping an initial URL for the links I actually want to crawl and then scraping each of these URLs using a *different* parsing callback is huge! 😍
It’s such a common use case.

I've been quite sick recently but before that I had been working on a small SVG library to draw math diagrams. It's written in Vue so it's easy to make it interactive.
Thinking about packaging it up and throwing it on npm. I really like how clean it looks!

🐴 Roach is completely framework agnostic. The actual functionality is inside the core package which you could use on its own.
Most of the time, you will want to require one of the framework-specific adapters, however. I’ve already written the Laravel adapter 😎

One thing I immensely appreciate about the Laravel community is everyone being so incredibly supportive of people wanting to build (and oftentimes sell) cool shit.
There’s (almost) no "how dare you charge money for this" or "why even build this" going on.
