Discovered your channel yesterday. Great content! From my experience, I can say, that as a developer, I used to make same mistakes, when I first learned Laravel. But now it's been like 3 years or so, and while watching these videos, I can say that I'm not junior anymore
Congrats on 100k views on the 1st code review video. I enjoy watching and rewatching these vids. Helps with my own refactoring ideas. Would love some future videos on creating tests for the various changes you are making, perhaps creating the tests and running the tests prior to and after refactoring.
Yes, it's a great idea. I remember already doing something like this, but can't quickly find that exact video. Which means I need to shoot a new one :)
Povilas, again, thank you very much. The knowledge I acquire in your videos is often superior to what I could learn in a formal course or even in college. Congratulations.
Maybe I have advice for you. If you have a condition like : $contact = Contact:where(....); if ($contact) { ..... } You can place $contact = Contact:where(...); inside "if" So it will look like if ($contact = Contact:where(....)) {} And then you can call the variable in that return; In my opinion, it looks cleaner. You can also use Contact::whereFirst instead of where(...)->first() Anyway, thanks for your work. Best youtube channel in my opinion.
100k hah? Amazing sir. Immediately after you made that first video I thought it would be extremely popular. As I already commented on one of your videos, everything I wanted to see, as I was learning PHP and then Laravel, is the real world example, a real project, code/repo that has couple of hundred or thousands of commits and it's constantly updated to live server - SSH or whatever. To see why and how I am gonna use my knowledge in a real world scenario. You always learn about some, I dare say "silly", examples that kinda don't make sense in the big(ger) picture. Thank you for everything and don't work too hard sir. :) Cheers
For code cleanup/consistency I'm using php-cs-fix. Before committing I'm running composer fix and all code will be checked and uniformly (single quotes, indentation) formatted and deletes unused 'use' and can order 'use' by different criteria.
Yes these code reviews are great, please keep them up. Also what I think is a good topic that no one has really covered as of yet, is what components in jetstream are reusable for guest side of client browsing, like adding guest() and auth() to jetstream components.
Currently I'm not planning more videos about Jetstream, I've published a few of them but they weren't popular enough, so not too many people actually use or want more tips on Jetstream, as numbers show.
@@LaravelDaily Thank you for your response. Personally I think its a bit too complex still as there is not many tutorials on the subject other than installing and configuring the auth side. Until this changes it will stay a niche topic unfortunately.
Good review but its important explain the use of try/catch when using firstOrFail eloquent's method. I see a lot of people using firstOrFail and they not catch the ModelNotFoundException and just let de "Exception/Handler" handle it. Nice video content, congratulations.
Just wanted to let you know this website is live and googleable and the /clear /migrate routes are still accessible publicly. Might want to let them know. I hope I didn't break anything. Thanks for the great content!
15:57 The $address->field = $request->field part. I use to write this thing as follows: $address->forceFill($request->only['field1', 'field2', 'field3' ...]) I think it's better because you need to name your fields only once (not twice). And of course you can use "fill" instead of "forceFill" if you configured your $fillable property in Address model.
I prefer not to use invokables too much because you'll never know if it comes to add a new method in it. Also, a method name helps you to better understand the underlying logic. But it's up to you.
Yes! leared a lot. I use migrate inside admin so only admin can migrate and clear the cache. And when migrating use "--force" because the app is in production mode.
As Povilas said, try to persuade client to store laravel project in dedicated hosting. If client is stingy and use shared hosting, artisan commands should be protected by admin/superAdmin middleware.
Having these artisan commands available from the web is not a bad idea, but i would hide them in an ajax api route with if user is admin. If you have a huge amount of routes you should separate them in different files. I created an admin and user route file and attach the main Middlewares inside the route service provider so the code is more readable. Only my public routes are in web 😉 Remember the days where coding was more pain than joy? Laravel has removed all that pain, doesn't realy matter how bad you do things anymore... It just works or it tells you exactly what you did wrong.
I really enjoy this types of videos, because is helping me/us better to write code. What I found very hard these days to understand was JWT & Repository Pattern, what I had seen on some projects what are using it. I'm trying to build a dashboard application with Laravel & React, and I fail at that point of JWT login/register. I had seen library's alternative like Sanctum, would you recommend me to use it? Thanks for reading the comment 🌟
@@LaravelDaily i found a good tut at pusher on working with react and laravel however for auth i use fortify as instructed by laravel daily. Then copied the react auth parts from the previous project. customizing several custom redirect depending on login type of user was nt hard. However what i found impossible is customizing the redirect on failed login, or redirecting to correct login form when trying to access protected routes. Please can u touch on that , where is the fortify auth middleware and hw to customize it......and try out the react with laravel thing its cool.
Once again, excellent video! - I find helpful you repeating suggestions like "use groups" (and so on). You could use less time handling them, as you did, but it's good to remember, and for new persons watching your videos. In other hand, I'm working in an API. How normal is use routes (from apiResources) for handle multiple entries. For example: store method receives an array of new Products. What's the convention here, store MUST create just ONE Product? or can I use it to create multiple Products? Since I'm trying to create multiple products, I would like to see a video from you talking more about the last topic (you talked about in this video), handling errors with data. Must I use for loops asking if one ID exist? (using firstOrFail), must I use "try - catch" and custom exceptions? - Also, I could check for unique using $request->validate, but what about unique between the new incoming products ! - I have been researching about these error handling systems, but... Im not satisfied with my current state. Thanks for the tip about the IDE, it's awesome! (this comment is not sponsored!)
Hi Cristhian, thanks for a long comment. It's hard to have one answer for all your question, it's very individual. Those Route::resource or Route::apiResource follow the standard that store() is for one record, so what you're doing is probably a CUSTOM method/URL like import(Request $request) where you would loop through the records, and then it's up to you to decide how to handle validation - stop on the first error, loop through the list of errors, insert into DB all successful records, etc.
Thanks to you for the reply. These style of videos are one of the best methods for me to learn/improve a new language/framework, and not all people do. Thanks for your time and effort to answer most of the comments. Your answer was helpful, and gave me some peace, so, once again, thanks! Keep being strict, and show us how to improve in Laravel! (and maybe, some other related technologies! - e. g. CD/CI; kubernetes; NoSQL (which Im working with (MongoDB))
16:23 here it depends, personally for writing i prefer having small tables, user most of the time don't want to edit everything and then have projection(read model) which would consist of all this data in one table which would be populated by events. Especially if i need to access it often. This is especially important if you have like a lot of joins, sometimes it's better to denomralize model for reading and keep it normalized only for writing.
Well, for me it seems that I'm talking about the same things in like 3rd or 5th junior review, but maybe it's because I've watched them all myself :) Maybe other visitors of my channel are not so active.
Currently, I have a big queue of reviews already. Unless you have a specific problem(s) or question(s) that I can review which will lead into some topic-based video.
They do not. Both will run the exact same query, so it's a matter of preference. I would prefer ->find() as well (or probably dependency injection with route model binding)

Good, explanation of best practices about laravel code patterns, ex: repository, service, api, controller ...
Haha its so fun to review juniors code :D

I think this is a great video, make everyone will learn the best practice for writing a code..
very interesting method to learn keep going like this videos thank you
When a controller does one thing why not use an invokable controller?
Good tip. I should probably shoot a separate short video about invokable controllers, I don't see them used often enough.
@@LaravelDaily Yes please do!
I prefer not to use invokables too much because you'll never know if it comes to add a new method in it. Also, a method name helps you to better understand the underlying logic. But it's up to you.
This is very valuable, thanks for your time!
Its constructive criticism, I hope when I get to build my first project, I'll send mine too and it get reviewed

As Povilas said, try to persuade client to store laravel project in dedicated hosting. If client is stingy and use shared hosting, artisan commands should be protected by admin/superAdmin middleware.
Model::where('id', 1) can be changed to Model::find(1)

Such a great video, you are real hero man
Amazing! That said, that "text ticker" in the header is very annoying. Otherwise, excellent!
great, about returning views,
if i want to return to a view with some data, which is advisible to use, direct from view or from controller
thank you a lot, you are great!!!
Great Sir...Kindly do some professional project for us...

Of course I recommend Sanctum, as it's official Laravel library. But I work with Vue and not React, so not sure if it has any other nuances.

Man, how come these junior dev make slick design and when I make, it looks always shit. I really don't have good eye for design. Any tips for that?
Tailwind UI is a good example of design. Not necessarily for purchase but to get ideas.
@@LaravelDaily Thanks :)
Most of those are free templates. The template used for the admin area on this video is AdminLTE.
@@rsgjunior99 cool, can you recommend some websites with best design templates?
I was shocked on the video thumbnail.
Thanks
sir you are the best
sir how we integrate voice call or video call functionality in our website
7:00 - no, you are not repeating yourself. Please consider continuing in the same way!

Thanks.
Is there a project on video upload with progress bar
This is nice.
Nice 👍👍
Hi,
How to generate Laravel models from an existing database design?. Also, can I set somewhere which one of them are of Resource type.
Hi sir can I join your training bootcamp? I am a developer but eager to learn backend so that I can be fullstack
Currently not planning bootcamp in near future, but watch the channel for any news.
@@LaravelDaily ok sir thanks
amazing
Awesome ❤️
Is it possible for us to send you our project to review it?
Currently, I have a big queue of reviews already. Unless you have a specific problem(s) or question(s) that I can review which will lead into some topic-based video.
16:52 why he even need where instead of find() he is targeting the ID
"Junior" developer not knowing all the function. Its fine, beginner's mistake
They do not. Both will run the exact same query, so it's a matter of preference. I would prefer ->find() as well (or probably dependency injection with route model binding)

to be honest, that will always happen, when guys watching "tutorials" on UA-cam from developers of "copy - paste" :)
