Twenty Percent Time

Okay so here's the thing. We already recorded this episode. This is version 2.

We're full of feelings.

We talk about microservices and testing them. #sorryForTheWait Links: [5.5] Maintain original order of collection items with equal values when using sortBy() by damiani · Pull Request #21270 · laravel/framework Full Stack Radio 72: Taylor Otwell - Testing Laravel Applications

We discuss the newly announced Laravel Certification program. There are a lot of sides to the issue. Everyone has opinions. But Laravel will survive.

This week we do updates on string helpers, some other PRs, a little Ziggy talk, and we dig into the concept of "State Machines" Links: [5.5] Use Support Carbon by lucasmichot · Pull Request #20568 · laravel/framework pluginaweek/state_machine: Adds support for creating state machines for attributes on any Ruby class [5.5] API Responses by themsaid · Pull Request #19449 · laravel/framework Add Str::start() and str_start helper function by calebporzio · Pull Request #20569 · laravel/framework

Caleb has been in the woods. Daniel has been living the lavish life of an open source maintainer. Is that a cheeky Pull Request on the horizon?

Caleb helps Daniel get his refactoring wish-list in order. Daniel FINALLY finished Ziggy, a package for Laravel Named Routes in Javascript. Links: [5.5] Allow custom pivot accessors by themsaid · Pull Request #20411 · laravel/framework Ziggy: Use your Laravel named routes in JavaScript — Ziggy creates a Blade directive which you can include in your views. This will export a JavaScript object of your application's named routes, keyed by their names (aliases), as well as a global route() helper function which you can use to access your routes in your JS.

This week, we talk about different strategies for getting data from your backend (PHP) into your Javascript for use in your frontend. We also come up with an idea for a new lil library thats going to change the world. It's good times all around no doubt.

We are at Laracon 2017. We didn't sleep much. We talk about Taylor and Adam's talks. Caleb REALLY wants a Laracasts Snickers.

We talk about resources. At the end we have a little clip of our guest appearance on North Meets South (http://www.northmeetssouth.audio/) with Michael Dyrynda and Jacob Bennett.

This week we talk about the only thing in programming, Naming Things. Caleb wants to write a Bob the Builder book.

We talk about the routes file, Route:resource(), conditional redirects, and talk about some PRs.

We talk about feature traits in Eloquent Models. Caleb wants a utopian world where all models are just a list of traits. Daniel is very reasonable.

We talk about our favorite topic. Links: Model Factory "lazy" method (github PR) Set a model factory attribute to a factory instance (github PR) artisan make:factory coming to Laravel 5.5 (github commit)

We talk today about the differences between Model, Collection, and Query Builder contexts in Laravel's Eloquent ORM.
