great way to sum that up; adjusting size is fine.. batteries —is just walk around the mall and a pretzel

This is so cool- I’m putting a pin in this for later. I used to have a flipdot display similarly sized- gah thanks for sharing

Jacob talks about the Laravel Unique package, which provides a trait for Laravel Eloquent models to ensure a field remains unique within specified constraints.

Listen to the full episode below or find out more about the package: laravel-news.com/laravel-unique

[9.x] Handle requests in test (rather than separate server process) by inxilpro · Pull Request #1170 · laravel/dusk Right now, Dusk makes requests to a separate server process. This has a few downsides: Test setup needs to run via special _dusk/ routes rather than using normal factories/setup Special .env.dusk ...

If you've been following along with my Dusk experiments, I just put up a draft PR: github.com/laravel/dusk...

If you have a big Dusk test suite, I would *love* for you to pull down my version and see how it works for you…

Drag & drop in Laravel Prompts is cool, but right click context menus? Super cool surely?! 😁

Somebody tell me I'm not going too far 👀 Anyone?!

The Only Meeting You Absolutely Need - John Rudolph Drexler - PHP×Philly YouTube video by Chris Morrell

The recording of @johnrudolphdrexler.com's talk from @phpxphilly.com is up!

This was a *great* talk (even if I managed to not record the first 4 mins of audio 😭). Everyone who is on a team should watch it.

```
<?php

namespace App\Concerns\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasUuids;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

trait HasRMSID
{
    use HasUuids;

    public static function bootHasRMSID(): void
    {
        static::creating(function (Model $model) {
            $model->forceFill([
                'short_uuid' => $model->short_uuid ?? Str::afterLast($model->uuid, '-'),
            ]);
        });
    }
}
```

``` <?php namespace App\Concerns\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Concerns\HasUuids; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Support\Str; trait HasRMSID { use HasUuids; public static function bootHasRMSID(): void { static::creating(function (Model $model) { $model->forceFill([ 'short_uuid' => $model->short_uuid ?? Str::afterLast($model->uuid, '-'), ]); }); } } ```

I use auto-incrementing ids for under-the-hood relations; and public facing is uuid 4 trails.

instead of `/users/9d962027-f7ac-4fa3-97b3-3d8e614a6da2` this becomes:
`/users/3d8e614a6da2`.

works for me, and for my users :)

For the most part, all public models have our little model trait:

Multi-selects just dropped in Flux!

Been a long time coming on this one. Building a good searchable multi-select is...well...not easy lol

Dig it in a fancy lil blog post I slapped up: fluxui.dev/blog/2024-11...

Just merged in another big feature in for @filamentphp.com v4... native two-factor authentication!

It's driver-based, so you can replace the "Google Authenticator-style app" with email (also a built-in driver) or SMS codes if you want.

A dedicated `OneTimeCodeInput` form field too 🧑‍🎨

Like almost all social media platforms in their early days, the vibes are great right now because everyone’s posting about the things they love.

It always goes south when everyone starts posting about the things they hate.

How about this time we all agree to keep it this way?

The PHP×Philly meetup tonight was amazing. We had 6 people at the last one and 20 tonight. For a second I was worried that we weren’t all going to fit!

It was a joy to meet a bunch of Laravel devs from the area, and see some new friends for the second or third time. Can’t wait for the next one!
