You can do something like this:

$offer = Offer::find($offerId);

$errors = collect([
    'offer_expired' => $offer->hasExpired(),
    'offer_not_verified' => $offer->isNotVerified()
]);

$errors = $errors->map(function($isError, $errorType) {
    return $isError ? $errorType : null;
})->filter();

$errors ?  throw new CantApplyException($user, $offer, $errors) : return view('some view');

This is probably one way to clean it up but you should probably put this logic into a middleware or create custom validation rules and use them in a form request class.

That method is for authorization so only true or false is valid as return types, just like Form Requests and the authorize() method.

It is a simple check to see if the fields coming from the request are part of the mass assignable fields array defined in the Eloquent model(s).

Laravel supports it out of the box so all you have to do is tell your Eloquent model which fields to accept when using Model::create($arrayOfFields) by using the protected $fillable array property in your Eloquent model(s).

Check the docs for more info

What does $res return in your try block?

If it does return the data, you should probably do something like:

return json_decode($res->getBody(), true);

This is a web development forum, not an article publishing platform like Medium.

Why are you using collect.js in a PHP file?

Why not just use eloquent for that?

$users = User::orderBy('first_name', 'asc')->get();

It should work as a normal app but make sure to either add a slash before js like /js/app.js or use the asset() helper.

Why use a JQuery plugin when you could use a VueJS plugin for that?

When I am working with APIs, I use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. It is easy to implement using a package like tymon/jwt-auth.

You would probably have a unique field (for example name) and based on that field, you could check if it exists, update it, else create a new record.

You could store the data partially in the database and have a completed field which unless it is 100, you won't show that record anywhere.

One way is to use a Fractal Transformer and customize your own response.

Look for it in the home.blade.php view file on line 1417 (wow, never seen a view file with that many lines)

What do you mean by it can't access collections?

you should be able to access your data by response.data in your javascript closure and just use a foreach statement to loop through it to display it on the page.

Another way to fix this problem is to transform the response from the controller.

Go on Upwork and apply for the job you like.

What are the relationships between the tables?

Customize the response the way you want it, example:

return response()->json([
    'data' => [
         'id' => $model->id,
        // .....
    ],
    'meta' => [
        'requiresAuth' => false,
    ]
]);

JSON Web Tokens is one of the possible options. The JWT Auth package is quite easy to use.

No, you shouldn't.

Lumen is mainly used for RESTful APIs since Lumen 5.2, so the views functionality was removed.

CSRF tokens are used in a session based traditional application while the RESTful APIs are stateless and do not use sessions.

Start with Wes Bos' JavaScript 30 tutorials. Also learn JavaScript to a point where you are comfortable to learn the new ES6 / ES2015 features before jumping on the framework train.

(the password is in plain text, not hashed.).

There's the problem. Laravel's login function (whichever you use) is comparing hashed passwords and that's why you can't login.

Hash the password with bcrypt($password) and it will probably work.

When I want to pass an ID to the JQuery script, I usually use HTML5 data attributes on the button and just pick up the value in the script.

Example:

// The Blade file
<button type="button" id="button" data-id="{{ $model->id }}"> Button </button>

// The Script
var id = $('#button').data('id');

Most of the time I just hardcode the URL in the script but when I want to make it dynamic, I also use data attributes for the resource name similar to the example above.

Another idea that came to mind just now is that you could pass the whole URL via a data attribute, something like data-url, using Laravel's route() helper.

@theUnforgiven Try this:

return redirect('admin/users')
                  ->with('flash', 'Account updated')
                  ->with('flashType', 'success');

@fahaddsheikh I don't think that our profession (web development) is underpaid, it's just that it depends on the company and client you work for, and the complexity of the projects you work on.

If all you do is work on some projects which are simple CMSes / agency or company blogs and websites, you'll probably be paid less, because the responsibility is lower.

If you work on a bigger project, like an ERP / CRM, you would probably be paid higher because the responsibility is higher.

And to answer your question:

I didn't say that you shouldn't look for a better job position / salary, I was trying to say that it won't make much difference if you start comparing your salary with other people's salaries, because it heavily depends on the company they work for, the client they work for, the country they live in and many other things.

You just have to find the right company for you, because everyone has a different idea of what's their ideal job position.

Some people are just interested in the idea of having a job and that they can say that they work for a company and never go up the ladder or advance in their career. On the other hand, some other people care more about the organization, type of projects, how the projects are organized type of thing and can't just work for anyone and anything like me.

Get to a position where you can choose what you want and how you want, and you won't have a problem finding an amazing company.

It does not matter how much you earn, as long as you can cover the living expenses.

I have not yet run into any problems with Lumen and PHP 7.1 so I guess it's supported.

By GoDaddy server you mean shared hosting?

@endian Most of the features Laravel offers are used in bigger-than-just-a-blog projects at some point of the project's development cycle. If you work on an ERP / CRM app for a while, you'll notice that.

The only reason I am using a framework is because I wanna finish the project on time before the deadline hits. I could build everything from scratch but it will take a lot of time and effort. I might get stuck at some point but the client won't be like "Good job man, you are a serious developer. You are not using a framework".

All clients care about is a working project, they don't really care about the technical stuff. It's up to the developers to make their life easier.

I went with a different route, using group_concat and group_by, a little bit different than @jimmck 's example. Now I am getting them as strings which can be easily used in the future.

Thank you all for your contribution in this discussion!

The docs on Laravel Mix Autoloading say that it will add it to every file JQuery is required.

Hello!

I just upgraded Laravel Mix to version 0.9 and I noticed that my template stopped working because JQuery is not being initialized before Bootstrap.

The error I am getting is the following:

Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery

So I searched google and saw that the default autoloading for JQuery was removed. I tried to add it back with

mix.autoload({
   jquery: ['$', 'window.jQuery']
});

but that didn't help me, I still have the same problem.

How can I include JQuery to the webpack.config.js file manually?

I have managed to figure out a way to group the output in a way Eloquent does it, using arrays and standard classes like in my example. The only problem I have now is the pagination is not consistent. Different number of results are displayed depending on the roles assigned to the users.

For example: If all users have all 4 roles (will probably never happen, they might have 3 of those 4 roles in some cases.) and I have 30 records per page set, I will get only 9 records back. If I increase the number of records per page to 200, I will have 52 users returned. This is happening because the pagination is ran against the role_user table and with the output grouping (or transformation), I cut down the array of items down.

The desired output would be:

stdClass => 
   'email' => '[email protected]',
    // some other fields go here
   'roles' => [
      stdClass => [
          'name' => 'super_admin'
      ],
       stdClass => [
          'name' => 'client_manager'
      ]
   ]

this is how eloquent outputs the query but for some reason I get the following when I use the fluent query builder with joins:

[
    stdClass => [
       'email' => '[email protected]',
        // some other fields go here
       'role_name' => 'super_admin'
    ],
    stdClass => [
       'email' => '[email protected]',
        // some other fields go here
       'role_name' => 'client_manager'
    ],
]

My table schema is simple:

users table

id
email
password
...

roles table

id
name

role_user table

role_id
user_id

I am using the same schema from the package spatie/laravel-permission

Hello there!

I am working on this project where I use the Fluent Query Builder and I am trying to recreate the same output from the eloquent relationship eager loading, User::with('roles')->get() for example, with join statements.

As a result I had duplicate rows for obvious reasons. I had a list of repeating email addresses with multiple role names for a many to many relationship.

My question is: Do I have to manually structure the objects where I have a nested object(s) for the relationships?

To pass data from a parent component to a child component, use props. To pass data from a child component to a parent component use custom events.

Build components and use props to pass jsonified data (json_encode($projects)) to the component.

Example:

<projects-list :projects="{{ json_encode($projects) }}"></projects-list>

Building the project as packages might be useful but it has downsides like the need to update all packages every time you add new code in one of the packages.

As far as I know, there's form (request) validation for that, but I am not sure if model validation is needed (maybe in some cases) before each database write operation.

Hey there,

I am starting a new project and I am wondering if thinking about scalability is a good idea at the beginning when I have no idea about any stats.

So my question is:

When starting a new project which has multiple components like Website, Admin panel, Subscriber panel, API, iOS app, Android app and maybe a few more, do you:

• Build them all as one Laravel application
• Build an API in Laravel / Lumen and use front end frameworks like VueJS / Angular / AngularJS / React
• Build each component in a different Laravel application, so you end up with like 4, 5 or maybe more Laravel applications which most of them will share the same features and / or models

CTRL + F5 (hard refresh) fixed it.

I would say that motivation and drive to learn and get better every single day is the most important skill you can have.

I would say that Laracasts is probably your best resource for Laravel which helped me to find a job and help colleagues. Oh and it's an amazing feeling when I can mention watching Laracasts videos on my LinkedIn profile as experience and colleagues at my first company say stuff like "Are you Ruffles from the Laracasts forums?!" :D Thanks @JeffreyWay

I learn mostly from video tutorials so I am subscribed to some other popular web development video tutorial platforms besides Laracasts.

I've also bought a few useful PHP / Laravel courses which I've learned a lot from (haven't touched Adam Wathan's book Refactoring to Collections and his course Test Driven Laravel yet).

I also watch conference talks to get some tips and tricks, help people on these forums here from time to time and I have a few books that I want to read but I have not found any free time to focus on them. Newsletters are piling up in my email and I read some of them.

Before I forget, I also learn a lot from working on real projects where I have to implement different features for clients. It taught me how to figure out stuff on the spot, by reading docs, googling and asking people on forums or the Larachat slack channel.

Maybe the Awesome Laravel list will help you find some resources.

Attending Laracon is not a bad idea, if you have the money and time to attend it. Laracon Online will be interesting.

I don't see much value in certificates really, because the technology is moving so fast and they might be useless after a while. Adopting a new technology quickly is more important than a certificate if you ask me.

You have to publish the vendor email template files by running php artisan vendor:publish --tags="mail"

Add use Carbon\Carbon; at the top of the console command class.

Any ideas if I use Redis on AWS or any other hosting (except shared hosting)?

@ohffs How would you deploy Redis in production?
