What Would Taylor Otwell Do?
notesonlaravel.com

WWTD — What Would Taylor Do? — is a five-word prompt that changed how I learn Laravel. After using it in 49 coding sessions, here's why it works, seven real examples, and how it evolved from a one-off question into a reusable AI skill.

A Clean API for Reading PHP Attributes
laravel-news.com

PHP 8.0 introduced attributes — a first-class way to add structured metadata to classes, methods, properties, and more. But reading them programmatically with the native reflection API is verbose and repetitive. Spatie's PHP Attribute Reader wraps that boilerplate in a clean static API.

Laravel Community Tweets

Pushpak: Just tagged a pretty big Boost release that cuts down context quite a bit.

If you’re context-conscious, you might want to give this one a look

Joe Tannenbaum: Want to play with the new @inertiajs v3 features?

@pascalbaljet built a comprehensive demo app that is, frankly, super fun to play with!

Taylor Otwell: Yesterday we shipped new and improved Boost skills for Horizon, Socialite, Passport, Scout, Cashier, and more.

Just composer update to level up your agent's performance.

Nuno Maduro: just pushed a small improvement to pint's @laravelphp preset.

now if a class is referenced (in code, php annotations, phpstan, etc), it'll always be imported at the top so everything stays consistent..

Taylor Otwell: It's shipping season. You can now try Laravel Cloud with no credit card up front.

First $5 of compute is on us.

Wendell Adriel: We had the password visibility toggle for quite a while in the Livewire Starter Kit because of the Flux UI component, but that was missing in the Inertia Starter Kits.

No more, just merged a new password input component for all the Inertia Starter Kits!

John Koster: I am happy to announce that Forte v1 is now available!

Forte is my new library for parsing and modifying @laravelphp Blade.

Barry vd. Heuvel: Small new Laravel Debugbar feature: Re-run SELECT queries to help debug your results (opt-in via config)

You probably know you can use the Explain feature to find missing indexes, but now you can re-run the entire query and render it as a table or dump result, or expand it.

Andréia Bohner: Visual reference for all @filamentphp lifecycle hooks

Punyapal Shah: PHP 8.6 will introduce a new function: clamp()

It ensures a value always stays between a minimum and maximum. A small addition, but very useful in many situations.

Steve Bauman: If you have traits that exist for adding utility methods to classes, consider extracting them into static support classes.

They're much easier to test, read more naturally, and don't pollute your class' API.

Freek Van der Herten: I never write down migrations.

Down migrations are the least tested code in any Laravel app. They're written once and never run. And when you do need to roll back, you don't know beforehand what you need to do with the data would already be stored in the updated schema.

Jason Beggs: We've been cooking on the Laravel Cloud UI lately, but I haven't shared much so here are some updates.

While at Laracon EU, we built a lightweight file explorer for buckets. View what's in your buckets, upload and delete files all without leaving Cloud.

That's it for this week, see you in the next newsletter issue!
