Took me about 2 weeks without any idea about laravel, thank you jeffrey!

@deadorchid thank u for this!!

for forms plugin use v3 tailwind cdn, so uri just like in video

@tinker i found hyperui.dev website very brilliant for free tailwind templates

@romulorocha In my observation and few encounters, I think it makes no difference whether you write Route::view('contact', ...) or Route::view('/contact', ...) in laravel since laravel handles it for some reason. But outside framework, if no provided "/", the pathing would just be example.testcontact (should be example.test/contact). Correct me if I'm wrong thanks.

Just when you thought Laravel couldn't get anymore elegant, Jeffrey does another video, refactors and wows you time and time again.

Also, regarding your comment about working along, I'm doing it a little bit different: I first watch the video, beginning to end without touching any code, after that I fireup phpstorm, rewind the video and code along, and aaaaafter that I work on a personal project (without any video) to assess if the information was properly committed to my brain. If I get stuck I try and read the documentation (Laravel docs are so good btw).

In the end of the video, you need some validation for the position of your keyboard. hilarious!!!

holy jumpscare at 7:50 😭 im on my bed getting fall asleep 😭 LOL

07:45 ouch

day 1 of learning laravel lets go!!

Oh, sorry, I didn't know this thread was not part of the PHP For Beginners that I'm currently following.

https://github.com/laracasts/PHP-For-Beginners-Series/commit/b9fd3735d6dcf3656ddb20586eb8341f4b2c19ae

Because there's also a problem I've encountered there where PestPHP is not working properly after executing ./vendor/bin/pest.

@tinker Even though that section already exists in Laravel’s composer.json file? And has done for years?

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/10b782f1535005a06c3e74f7ec093ffaea3ac0e2/composer.json#L29-L33

If anyone is also having a problem like this in 2025, I just added a new object

"autoload-dev": {
    "psr-4": {
        "Tests\\": "tests/"
    }
},

in the composer.json and executed composer dump-autoload, hope this helps.
