@automica These are also paid in this Laracast. And I haven't take Laracast subscription yet

https://laracasts.com/series/building-laracasts/episodes/3

I will check this package also.

https://github.com/Jeroen-G/laravel-packager

Hello, Laravel devs! I need your suggestion, basically, I searched/google a course for Laravel package development and I found a two paid course. Those are:

• Marcel Pociot https://beyondco.de/video-courses/php-package-development
• freekmurze https://laravelpackage.training/#toc

Can anyone suggest which would be good for starting and should I buy. Basically both creator are awesome. Now it is hard select which one....

Purchasing two courses is not possible.

@eliasniyonsaba If you are using Laravel8 do this.

To App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php add $namespace

class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * This namespace is applied to your controller routes.
     *
     * In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';
}

and this

/**
 * Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    $this->configureRateLimiting();

    $this->routes(function () {
        Route::middleware('web')
            ->namespace($this->namespace) // add this line
            ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));

        Route::prefix('api')
            ->middleware('api')
            ->namespace($this->namespace) // and this line
            ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
    });
}

@lara_garbage

'name' => Rule::unique('users')->ignore(auth()->id()),

Using this it send an error. But the main problem was id we just have to figureout this method $this->id

@lara_garbage @sarwarahmed

problem solved.

Both method are working $this->auth_profile->id instead of this $this->id. Basically here auth_profile is the wildcard name of your route or the wildcard variable you have used in your method.

Routes are

 Route::resource('auth_profile', 'UserProfileController');

# so wildcard route would be auth_profile/{auth_profile}

Request file

 'name' => [
                 'required',
                Rule::unique('users')->ignore(Auth::user()->id),
             ],

# OR
'name' => 'required|unique:users,name,'.$this->auth_profile->id,

in controller update method

public function update(UpdateProfileInfoRequest $request, User $auth_profile){
	// your statement
}

@lara_garbage Not working

 'name' => [
              'required',
            Rule::unique('users')->ignore($this->id),
            ],

@lara_garbage right what? I think it is right but the name field for updating causes problem

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|name|unique:users,name,'.$this->id,
            'firstname' => 'required|max:75',
            'lastname' => 'required|max:75',
            //'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$this->id
            'mobile_number' => 'string|size:10',
            'address' => 'string|max:255',
            'description' => 'string',
            'profile_photo_path' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,bmp,svg,jpg,png|max:512',
        ];
    }

@oxbir Try this and let me know

    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
	$originalname = $request->image->getClientOriginalName();

        $extension = $request->image->extension();

        $uploadpath = $request->image->storeAs('images/categories', $originalname, 'public');
    }
Category::create([
        'name' => $request->name,
        'latin' => $request->latin,
        'parent_id' => $request->parent_id,
        'image' => $originalname,
    ]);
    return redirect()->route('categories.index');

@lara_garbage

yea right there is no name validation rule

how to solve this? do you have any idea?

@sarwarahmed the validation error is returned in this case

The name has already been taken.

@lara_garbage null value returned

@eliasniyonsaba If you are using Laravel8 do this.

To App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php add $namespace

class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * This namespace is applied to your controller routes.
     *
     * In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';
}

and this

/**
 * Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    $this->configureRateLimiting();

    $this->routes(function () {
        Route::middleware('web')
            ->namespace($this->namespace) // add this line
            ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));

        Route::prefix('api')
            ->middleware('api')
            ->namespace($this->namespace) // and this line
            ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
    });
}

@eliasniyonsaba which version of laravel do you use? is 8 ?

Basically I'm trying to update profile information but if there is already username available then validation is not requied but when I try submit the form it throw and validation error. can anyone tell me what wrong with this rule. This is my validation rule....

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class UpdateProfileInfoRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|name|unique:users,name,'.$this->id,
            'firstname' => 'required|max:75',
            'lastname' => 'required|max:75',
            //'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$this->id
            'mobile_number' => 'string|size:10',
            'address' => 'string|max:255',
            'description' => 'string',
            'profile_photo_path' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,bmp,svg,jpg,png|max:512',
        ];
    }
}

***Both name and email part is send an validation error.

In my project, I'm using the component, This time I pass the variable correctly but I don't know why this error occurs?

@michaloravec @Sinnbeck could you please tell me this what I did wrong?

@michaloravec Opps! I forgot about this app/Http/view/components part. BTW, Thank you for your response.

@gerrardarya check laravel/fortify package https://github.com/laravel/fortify/blob/1.x/routes/routes.php And change accordingly to you. Because Laravel8 uses the fortify and jetstream

@newbie360 sorry, in this thread typo mistake profile => userprofile

In my project, I have just passed the variable in blade compoent like this controller

    public function index()
    {
        $profileinfo = Auth::user();

        return view('userprofile.profile-page', compact('profileinfo'));
    }

blade resources\views\userprofile\profile-page.blade.php

<div class="container">

    <h1 class="h3 mb-3">Profile Information</h1>

    <div class="row">

        <div class="col-md-5 col-xl-4">

            <x-auth-user-info :profileinfo="$profileinfo" />

        </div> <!-- end col-md-5 col-xl-4 -->
</div>

and this is the component resources\views\components\auth-user-info.blade.php

<div>
    <div class="card-box text-center">
        <img src="{{ $profileinfo->profile_photo_url }}" class="rounded-circle avatar-xl img-thumbnail" alt="profile-image">
</div>
</div>

can anyone tell me why this throw an error. did i something wrong in component?

can someone slow down the version upgrade???

😂😂😂😂

@felloz ohhh, we missed this part. As defined in the previous version...

->namespace($this->namespace)

glad you solved this :)

Edited

In RouteServiceProvider just adding these values

protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers'; # add this


public function boot()
{
    $this->configureRateLimiting();

    $this->routes(function () {
        Route::middleware('web')
            ->namespace($this->namespace) # add this
            ->group(base_path('routes/web.php'));

        Route::prefix('api')
            ->middleware('api')
            ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
    });
}

@felloz I think, Starting new project with laravel8 is good but somewhere upgrading old laravel project into 8 is much confusing because in laravel8 most of the part is changed...

@felloz

just change this into this

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; 
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController; # don't forgot to add this

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', [HomeController::class, 'index']);

@felloz did you follow laravel8 routing documentation? https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#basic-routing

@felloz In laravel8 defining the routing is little bit changed: check documentation https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#basic-routing

#In the previous version of laravel

<?php
Route::resource('home', 'HomeController'); // It is okkk

# In laravel 8 you have to define route like this

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController; 


Route::resource('home', HomeController::class);

and you can also use this technique as @michaloravec discussed yet

To App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php add $namespace

@oxbir can you put your blade file and route? did you try just dd() you image file?

In my laravel project for uploading the file I'm using the spatie media library package. But using this I'm facing the problem with updating the image. Basically for updating the image, when I upload the new image I want to remove old or previous image if post having the image. But in case it store as new image. can anyone knows how to do this update image and remove previous image using spatie media lib pkg? This is my update method

  public function update(PostStoreRequest $request, Post $post)
    {
        $input = $request->validated();

        $post->update($input);

        $post->tags()->sync(request('tags'));

        if($request->hasFile('featuredimage')){
            $post->addMedia($request->featuredimage)->toMediaCollection('posts');
        }

        return redirect(route('posts.index'))->withInfo('Posts updated succesfully');
    }

In Laravel is there any command or shorter way to delete storage file instead of manually deleting directory?

@sinnbeck

No you normally wouldn't want to load all million rows in a Http request. It is not to be used for displaying things. Use limit it pagination for that

So where can I used this chunk method usually?

@sinnbeck

What are you trying to do with the chunk method? Get the first 10 records from the database?

basically I try to understan how can I fetch the records in view if I have millions of data in datatable. Then how it will works.

So here I tried some little experiments with chunk how it works.

$allCategory = Category::latest()->limit(10)->get(); And I'm trying to fetch the record instead of above code.

@michaloravec

This method is very useful for writing Artisan commands that process thousands of records.

what is that means? So I can't used this chunk method for fetch data?

@braunson no I don't want to use this. This is my actual query

 public function index()
    {

        DB::table('categories')->orderBy('id')->chunk(10, function ($allCategory) {
            // foreach ($allCategory as $cat) {
            //     dd($cat);
            // }
            return view('cms.categories.index',compact('allCategory'));
        });


    }

basically i tried to understand how chunk methods works. can anyone tells me how it is works. I'm trying to fetch all record in my view blade but it returns nothing how to pass that chunk variable to blade?

 public function index()
    {
        // $allCategory = Category::latest()->get();

        DB::table('categories')->orderBy('id')->chunk(10, function ($allCategory) {
            // foreach ($allCategory as $cat) {
            //     dd($cat);
            // }
            // dd($allCategory);
            return view('cms.categories.index',compact('allCategory'));
        });


    }

what I'm doing wrong can anyone explain me how to pass variable in blade or how to do this?

@madsynn @gcwilliams you forgot about storage link symlink

public_path('posts') => storage_path('app/posts'),

And run php artisan storage:link

@sinnbeck basically I saw someone projects on github quickadminpanel and follow same as he done, then it works 😜. @sinnbeck Now I'm stuck in update part instead of addMedia how can I update the media?

@sinnbeck Hello sir, now Here I put the code how I solved this problem now: First in my Posts model I uses a accessor technique check this code

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;

class Post extends Model implements HasMedia
{
    use SoftDeletes, InteractsWithMedia;

    protected $fillable = ['user_id','category_id','title','slug','body','subcategory_id'];

    protected $appends = [
        'featured_image',
    ];

    protected $table = 'posts';

    protected $with = ['user'];

    public function getFeaturedImageAttribute() {

       return $this->getMedia('posts')->last();
    }
}

Then in index.blade.php i simply call the getURL

@if($post->post_file)
   <img src="{{ $post->featured_image->getUrl()}}" alt="">
@endif

Now its working.

@sinnbeck I want image for all posts. In this method How to put this?

   public function index()
    {
        $query = Post::query()->getMedia('posts');

        if(auth()->user()->hasRole('superadmin')) {
            $allPosts = $query->has('user')->latest()->get();

        } elseif (auth()->user()->hasRole('admin')) {
            $allPosts = $query->whereHas('user', function($query){
                $query->where('user_id','!=',1);
            })->latest()->get();

        } else {
            $allPosts = $query->whereHas('user', function($query){
                $query->where('user_id',auth()->user()->id);
            })->latest()->get();
        }
        return view('cms.posts.index',compact('allPosts'));
    }

@sinnbeck here it is

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;

class Post extends Model implements HasMedia

    protected $fillable = ['user_id','category_id','title','slug','body','subcategory_id'];

    protected $with = ['user'];

    public function category()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo( Category::class );
    }

    public function subcategory()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo( Subcategory::class );
    }

    public function tags()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany( Tag::class );
    }

    public function user() {
        return $this->belongsTo( User::class );
    }
}

@sinnbeck If I do this

$query = Post::getMedia('posts');

Then this error comes

ErrorException
Non-static method App\Post::getMedia() should not be called statically

Did you follow this guide to setup the model (add the trait)

Yes I followed Image store part is working properly

@automica in index method

$query = Post::query()->getMedia('posts');

index.blade.php

@forelse($allPosts as $post)
                                    <tr>
                                        <td>
                                            <img src="{{$post->getUrl('posts')}}" alt="">

This is my controller index method

   public function index()
    {
        $query = Post::query()->getMedia('posts');

        if(auth()->user()->hasRole('superadmin')) {
            $allPosts = $query->has('user')->latest()->get();

        } elseif (auth()->user()->hasRole('admin')) {
            $allPosts = $query->whereHas('user', function($query){
                $query->where('user_id','!=',1);
            })->latest()->get();

        } else {
            $allPosts = $query->whereHas('user', function($query){
                $query->where('user_id',auth()->user()->id);
            })->latest()->get();
        }
        return view('cms.posts.index',compact('allPosts'));
    }

This is my store method for medialib

   public function store(PostStoreRequest $request)
    {
        $input = $request->validated();
        // dd($input);
        $posts = auth()->user()->posts()->create($input);

        $posts->tags()->attach(request('tags'));

        if($request->hasFile('featuredimage')){

            $posts->addMedia($request->featuredimage)
                    ->toMediaCollection('posts');

        }

        return redirect(route('posts.index'))->withMessage('post 😊 created successfully');
    }

WHERE DID MAKE A MISTAKE OR SOMETHING DID I WRONG?

@sinnbeck yes I found this under php.ini and enable. And also I found a post on it https://github.com/UniSharp/laravel-filemanager/wiki/Enabling-exif-extension-for-PHP. Now medialibrary is installed. I have one question regarding this

#what this mean below

spatie/laravel-medialibrary suggests installing php-ffmpeg/php-ffmpeg (Required for generating video thumbnails)
spatie/laravel-medialibrary suggests installing spatie/pdf-to-image (Required for generating thumbsnails of PDFs and SVGs)
Package phpunit/php-token-stream is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Writing lock file
Generating optimized autoload files

should I have to installed these also or forgot it because In my project I just simple want to image upload or nothting else

Edited:

# enable these two extension in your php.ini file
extension=mbstring
extension=exif 

@sinnbeck I never install package in laragon or xampp can you tell me how to do this in xampp then I will do same in laragon.

@sinnbeck .ini file is same for both xampp or laragon what extension should I have to enable? I did not find any php_exif under .ini file
