Just rebuilt my personal site using @HydeFramework static site generator using markdown and @laravelphp blade where I want to. Also merged my blog from an external site into my personal site.

🚀 🤖 I’m excited to release the first version of Laravel Loop, an MCP Server for Laravel that allows you to create custom tools and connect your Laravel app directly to AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and others.

Let me show you how it works in... 👇

@michaeldyrynda @gonedark @laravelnews I have been doing this for years, always try and gear tests to give the most useful output on failure. However, if in the code being tested this job is dispatched within a try/catch (Throwable) then it will catch the assertions/expectation exception and hide the failure.

@PerttiSoomann @ollieread I did use @HydeFramework for my personal site and found it pretty straight forward.

Laravel Sail is a great tool for developing Laravel applications without having to set up services on your local machine. If you've been looking for a detailed guide to @laravelphp Sail, Cole Shirley has just the thing for you! Link in thread.

Another 🔥 @vuejs tip from @brandonferens!
Watchers only fire when the reactive object they are watching changes, but sometimes you may need to fire the watcher as soon as the component is mounted. Pretty easy to do:

And we already supporting it! In the next release.

We started adding screenshots to OFFICIAL @filamentphp docs!

The first merged PR with this image pushed by @ModestasMV

The system to push images isn't simple, but we "cracked the code", and more images from our team coming to the docs.

Wrote and shipped this Livewire feature in like an hour this morning (probably broken af), but check it:

wire:current ✨✨✨

Super clean way to detect if the current page matches a link and slap some Tailwind on there

(works with wire:navigate and persisted layouts obv)

@PovilasKorop @filamentphp Definitely a useful function Povilas! Recently had a need to only render urls if the user could actually access the linked page. For example, if the user needs to a specific permission.

Used it in a nice trait which you can see on this gist:

@JackEllis If you are working with objects you can just use optional chaining instead? Assuming same structure:

Did you ever get annoyed by PHPStan complaining when retrieving config values and you must type a /** @var string */ comment?

TIL from @danmasonmp that you can use type-hinted config methods to retrieve typed values from Laravel config.

@fideloper Yeah probably 😅 its the one i been using for my social images last few months.

[Dan Mason @danmasonmp]

@JackEllis Yeah, recently moved from a MBP Intel 2019 which definitely had its issues with PHPStorm haha. Can't say i seen the issue you describe but likely also performance related. ST4 certainly is decent and i have used it occasionally. I am a big fan of the Laravel Idea plugin though 😅

[Dan Mason @danmasonmp]

@JackEllis For point 1 at least, I would bet phpstorm lets you disable anything that you found distracting.

Performance is a common gripe, I will say on a MBP M3 not experiencing any issues but it def depends on your projects.

[Dan Mason @danmasonmp]

Going home after a great couple days @LaravelLiveUK great talks and great socials. Here you @RhysLeesDev , @ryangjchandler, @danjharrin and other great people. Look forward to
Coming back next year 🍻
