By default, Laravel Eloquent models assume your table has timestamp fields - created_at and updated_at. But there's plenty of things you can...

I've been listening to Laravel Snippet podcast by Taylor Otwell, and heard some news about upcoming Laravel 7, which I think is pretty important for blog readers to know. So, changes are coming to Auth scaffolding.

Let's build it in Laravel.

Quite often, especially in e-shop projects, you can see a page to login or register before finishing the purchase. But Laravel has these two routes as separate login and register pages. So how to merge them together and avoid conflicts?
