Quick Tip

Simplify if on a request with whenFilled() helper

We often write if statements to check if a value is present on a request or not.

You can simplify it with the whenFilled() helper.

public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->whenFilled('status', function (string $status)) {
// Do something amazing with the status here!
}, function () {
// This it called when status is not filled
});
}
