That macro/constructor stuff is absolutely disgusting. I love it.
🫡 at your service
Please more content like this. So much hidden gems we all can learn from. Keep it up!
"My site, My video" 😆🤣😆🤣
hey man, you radiate a positive energy that make me more enthusiastic to code. Your attitude, confidence, enthusiasm, curiousity, adventurous and that "My site, my video" sass is contagious!
Thank you for sharing that
Please keep creating videos. You rocks!
Thank you so much! I want to be a positive force, so that's encouraging
I love it in Laravel. We extend a bunch of main Laravel code to cover our requirements. Awesome.
Ay Ay Ron (sorry, intrusive thoughts won), this is the first time I'm seeing someone actually go beyond the basics in Laravel and talk about approaching Laravel not from a purely consumeristic perspective, but rather from an engineering perspective.
Haha it's ok, not the first time someone has called me that. And probably not the last!
This was fun, more of this please. Thank you Aaron!
YES, reading Laravel's source files is a game changer. Not only you understand better what is the thing doing exactly, but you can find a lot of other useful functions and snippets in the process.
And also I have been using DB query builder macros to add new functions to it, like one that automatically selects columns with an alias name, based on a map array loaded at the macro's definition, that maps column names.
I love to macro the query builder! Super powerful
I love the vibe of: let's do this no because a book say it's right, but because it sound interesting/fun, great video.
I think I might need to watch this video a couple more times at 0.5 speed to fully grasp what I just saw. It's looks easy but magical at the same time.
Love the format, definite pairing vibes or the most useful parts of a stream. Hope there's more like this
That starting snap and pop of the hands, asmr vibes. I can already tell this will be great!
ikr, i dont know how he did that with his hand..
Fun video! It's always interesting to see what's under the hood and all the undocumented ways you can use the framework.
An approach for this particular problem that I like to use is to have a "url" attribute accessor on my model, and have that be responsible for handing me the proper URL. That way, I don't even need to remember my route name throughout the project.
Great video! Really enjoy hearing you think out load when you're trying to figure things out. I think a scripted screencast is very valuable but watching an experienced developer wrestle with things gives a different look. Thanks Aaron! -Mike
I know it's kinda over-engineered, but damn, thanks for showing this laravel gem!
more videos please
Haha fun, right?
11:20 love how you didn't cut the video. Honest and funny
Haha much more fun that way
More videos like these! This was an absolute delight!
i do really like this kind of video, for me at least it is easier to learn when i watch someone actually coding something ^^
Love watching the process!
Fantastic content! I love to see how other people reasons about this kind of problems.
Holly cow, I always saw you around X, but I never thought too much about you. But after watching this my jaw dropped, we must be on Laravel lore forever as one of the greats.
Haha this is funny to me. Glad you're here!
Your way of conveying knowledge is very pedagogical. You are a great programmer and disseminator of knowledge! I really like your videos. Keep it up!
Your content is truly unique and valuable!
This is absolutely great stuff! Just showing a way how to do advanced things in Laravel is great!
I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate that you made this. There's a LOT of beginner content out there. I really appreciate you making things on intermediate and advanced topics, too. I feel that the way in which you do it (showing the process, rather than just the result) makes it less intimidating. Finally, you're not solving a specific problem, you're using the problem to showcase a method of finding a solution, which is awesome as well!
You got me gushing over how much I appreciate this video!
You just performed magic upon us with Laravel and PHP, my brother! Super educational and very informative. Thank you so much!
I had no idea this is how useful macros are.Am definitely exploring their use now.Awesome video!!!
You are an inspiration and very much appreciated Aaron! Thanks so much for this video, learned a lot:)
Mind blowing and made me think outside the box. 👍
Been building apps for some time and i just learnt a lot! Thanks!
Great tutorial. I've never used Macroable before, it sure is a useful tool. Thanks!
This is a great video about how to think!
I would personally keep the original route URL and then redirect to the external URL in the show method, so when we add page statistics, trends, etc., that would also work for the external posts as well.
GOLD CONTENT! More power broda!
"I'm just going to leave it as it is." That's a Perfect approach. Nowadays, developers spend so much money and time on things that someone may ask to do something with them one day. Let's deal with that later when it is needed!
I've never messed with macros, but I want to mess with them now! Would love to see more content like this!
I have typed dd('here') and dd('1234') at least 7 million times in the last 10 years! I quite like Spatie's Ray product which essentially does the same thing but feels less blunt 🙃........Very relatable and enjoyable video - keep it up!
Love the process and learned something new! Oh yeah, for your analytics, I came from twitter.
You create amazing tutorials. Have you consider to create full laravel course? Thank you
We need more videos like this
Great content Aaron ✌😊✌
Great video, I absolutely hate this with every fibre of my being due to the sheer complexity introduced here 🤣 but it's fascinating nonetheless.
Would love to see more videos like this! Thanks for sharing
That use of the weakmap was brilliant
The pause part just hilarious 😅 by the way what a effort need more these types of videos
Classic Producer Steve adding those funny sound effects
@@aarondfrancis hats off for Steve already following him on twitter much appreicated his dedication in work
Thanks Aaron！
Please more of this please
This is funny... I watched this video a couple of days ago and today i found out a problem with Laravel+Mongo+Failed Queues and remembered of this video and implemented an 'extend' to 'fix' a laravel base class... 😅 Thanks man!
(The base class isn't Macroable, tho, but i have access to the needed params from the $app instance 👌)
Heyo! That rules
Its like hidden gem for me, even i doesnt use it, but still is good knowladge
I don't like it, I love it,
More videos like this are always welcome.
Thanks Aaron!
Love it!
This could have been the best thumbnail for a Mac promotion
The new studio is looking suuuper nice
Thank you 🤗
Hey Aaron,
Love your content. Just wondering; would it be possible to request an instance of your custom call using the container aswell?
I enjoyed the video, I laughed almost all through the video .... the video reminds me or me when coding 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the type of content I love. Bending the framework to our will. This is the stuff that makes you feel like a programming wizard
Like the idea, I would probably pull the macro out into a mixin and stick both the generator & mixin in an Extensions directory to signal it’s extending the framework. :)
Oh that's a nice idea!
Loved this!
lol imagine if Laravel implemented final classes and prevented you from *gasp!* extending its implementations
Can you imagine
I both love it and hate it. That kind of stuff bit me a few times so I've learned to settle for much more boring solutions.
Very entertaining video though. I'd love to see more advanced content like this.
very very nice
Love macros! We use a bunch of carbon and eloquent macros
This looks so terrible and so impressive at the same time. It`s just amazing to know that you can do it even in such pretty weird way.
Great video Aaron, thank you so much for such high-quality content!
> so terrible and so impressive

9:03 I didn't know that people speaking english know the german word "verboten" which means forbidden 🤔
Apart from this, I really appreciate that you make more videos now. They are so high quality, even the fact that there is close to no cut when you are speaking... wow. In my videos I mispronounce something every other sentence 😅 (German is a difficult language 😂) You are also explaining the things very close to how my thought process is. Hoping to see more of these kinds of videos!
Haha sometimes things pop out of my mouth and I'm like... where did that come from!
Glad you enjoyed it :) I enjoyed making it. I'll do more videos like this one!
Routes are cached & serialized, so Closures are probably not great. You should try it with cached routes. Empty weakmap? But it is fun making computers do what you want! Just test it with production config before you go to production :D
Closures are great for demos like this 🙂 How would you extend differently? Would love to see some code!
More videos like that 🙏
This is gold
Hi, Aaron. I have a question. Not directly related to Macros, but Laravel. 😁 When it comes to choosing a CMS to use with Laravel, which have you used before and which one(s) would you recommend for better editorial experience? Thanks.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, loved that!
man i was with ya until the weakmap generator thing... i stopped comprehending at that point ! 😂
This feels like a lot compared to just adding a redirect within your `ArticleController`'s `show` method at the start that does the sniff test for external, and responding with a redirect.
Cool to see the process you followed for utilizing macro's though 😁
Yup! Agreed!
Not an SEO person, but I imagine that will have some sort of SEO implications. I would imagine linking directly to the external URL is better than having the crawler follow a URL only to find it redirects you to an external site. Also it would be more transparent to the user to be able to see that the URL is external.
But I do agree that your solution would be easier to implement 😂
Cool idea and useful to see your way of debugging and unpacking framework code.
But I was scratching my head the whole time, can't this entire thing be handled by 1, maybe 2 if/elses to returns the correct url? 🤔
Maybe! But that's no fun
I use a top of the line Macbook Pro, and use Sail instances for dev (with a proxy manager layer to run multiple at the same time). The further into a project I get, the more painful it gets to do a quick dd() or run phpunit tests. Do you have any tips on dev environment setup and speed?
I just use Laravel Herd locally!
Why is the use case of that addGenerator function? Cache maybe? If so, doesn't it get destroy after the request has finished?
Oh, so that is what the macros are! Also how would you document what you have done so you can understand it in 6 months when you have to work on that feature again?
I usually put them all in a single MacroServiceProvider so I know where to look when I come back to a project
Producer Steve with the brutal crickets edit, ouch 😂
The nerve
I thought of adding Accessor on model itself. But hey my brain, my logic ;)
This might be a dumb question, if so my bad... Why not just rebind this CustomUrlGenerator?
Dunno! Gimme a code sample
@@aarondfrancis Something like this in your service provider? I'm just a jr dev don't listen to me lol.
`public $bindings = [
'url' => MyCustomUrlGenerator::class,
];`
I like your funny words magic man
Haha thank you 😂
I don't have to like this, but I do.
Damn fr
If you meant the German word „verboten“ in 09:06, it means „forbidden“. 😊
Yes! That's it!
This is absolutely unhinged and I'm here for it.
Hey man i heard that laravel is batteries included. is the auth system secure
It's very robust. But if you don't like it, remove the batteries and put in your own. I use LDAP at work with Laravel, for example. We also have a few apps that use SSO with custom IDP. On most of my personal projects the built in stuff is perfect.
Yes, it is indeed secure
thank you guys.
Neat trick with the macro stuff. Looks like its called MonkeyPatching in other places.
I will see if I can add this at work #evil :D
Godspeed 🫡
at 8:30, what shortcut was this?
Navigate > go to by reference > file structure
@@aarondfrancis Nice, thanks! I sometimes remember to use the navigation bar, but this looks slightly more purpose built.
9:03 sounds to me like you're saying the word "verboten", in which case it would be German and mean forbidden.
Yes! That's it! Thank you
Route would always consider your domain.
You just need to construct your external urls any other way other than route methods.
It’s a very strange video, creating a problem which doesn’t exists. At least till now 6:26
Fun though right?
Sorry but this is wrong in every sense possible. And not fun at all for me.
Think of new devs who watch your videos.
Anyways, you do whatever you want. I am no police.
Have a great day 👍🏼
I think no need to add $url = null also
Verboten == Forbidden (German)
Is he really want to share macros feature or just piss off "clean code readers"v
Great video! This is my problem with modern "Laravel" PHP. Antipatterns, the interpreter has to parse all these 3 million layers.
Unlike Java or C#, which is compiled down, it's fine to have so many layers.
Nah I think it's probably fine!
23 minutes? You figure out things too quickly, I would have wasted a day on that 😅
yeah man! this is bullshit. you should extend Laravel url generator and set it as app('url') service.
I'm not sure I'd call it bullshit... But ok! Show me some code, I'm not sure what you mean
"you don't have to like this"
me: smashing the dislike button
This is higher level thing, didn't understand shit
Now I understand why JavaScript won and everything will eventually be written in it.
Huh
As a nextjs dev, i think people should move on, life as a dev should not be as tough as laravel makes it to be.
@@thedailycutline278 interesting, have you made anything in laravel? I find it refreshingly easy.
I appreciate all your comments but you don't have to watch these videos if you don't like them!
@@aarondfrancishe just hates php so bad haha
As a Nextjs developer, i just have one thing to say, i have never seen such a complicated framework, adding to that it uses php😢
That's ok
If it were me I would just
@if($article->markdown_file)
href="{{ route('article.show', $article->slug.$article->public_id }}"
@elseif(!$article->markdown_file && $article->external_link)
href="{{ $article->external_link }}"
@endif
Am I cooked?
No more cooked than the rest of us! Honestly no, that's totally reasonable. I'd probably wrap that up in a method in the Article model itself so that it's easier to use throughout the app, but it's not crazy!
