I will be assuming that you have already got Laravel installed, setup and tour authentication is working. Otherwise, why would you be looking into customizing the email templates? š The Laravel documentation for Email Verification will cover the setup by reading the documentation. But it stops just short of actually explaining how to customize the…

The Laravel documentation mentions that you can customize the Password Rest Template, but doesn’t explain how you would actually do it. That said, I will assume that you already have auth and have published your auth views. That is covered very well in the documentation. As stated in the documentation you will need to over…

Webpack is the third build tool that I have used in the last 2-3 years. It’s inevitable that you will come across build tools. For small quick and dirty projects I still use Code Kit, But for those larger and more complex sites, I like to use Laravel Mix. It seemed to offer the most…

Nothing new about Laravel 5.5 using Whoops, But one thing that I wanted to touch on was how to Configure Whoops in Laravel 5.5 to open files with PHP Storm, Or any other supported editor.My previous example worked until I did a Composer update, I got an error. My first idea was to dig out…

This is more of a note to myself, But a while back when Laravel announced that it would have minimum support for PHP 7.0 I thought nothing of it. My server was running Ubuntu 16.04 so I had PHP 7.0 Fast forward and Laravel 5.5 is out and ready for the masses. A few updates…

First, what is Composer and what is a Package? Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. Those Dependencies are what we call Packages that don’t have to be but are usually stored on Packagist. Making a private Composer Package is really simple, but the first thing that you need to make a new repo for…

I work on two rather large projects that follow two specific life cycles. I want to show you how easy it is to use and setup private Composer packages for use in Laravel. This does not need to be a private package and will work just the same with a public package that you might…

Developing packages for use with laravel is reasonably straightforward. But we don’t all make the code for public consumption on Packagist. Adding a custom repository to your composer.json file will allow us to pull code straight from your Github account rather than Packagist. Now you should be able to add your package under require “adampatterson/app-core”:…

Caching busting with Laravel is super simple. It comes with something called Mix ( or Elixer ) that handles front-end processing. Unfortunately, my front-end requirements have some specific needs that prevent me from taking advantage of Mix. The site uses Docker and is also behind a proxy cache so there wasn’t a simple way that…

Laravel has been one of the few new tools that have truly inspired me to create. I never went to school for ācomputer scienceā and am self-taught when it comes to web development. I tend to take a common-sense approach to problems and thus far have solved some decently complex problems and learned from them….

I like to use MAMP for my local development mostly because it’s fast and simple to use. I came across an issue while attempting to use Laravels Tinker feature that is based off Boris. I did some searching and found out that it had to do with the fact that MAMP does not include the…
