Screencasts that focus on building real apps. If you're looking to learn Laravel, Livewire, Vue, Inertia and more, we've got you covered.
Starting completely from scratch, build a modern PHP framework with all the features you’d expect. Whether you’re new to PHP or not, this is a great exercise for learning what happens under the hood, arming you with knowledge you can apply anywhere you use PHP. We’ll cover routing, controllers, views, the container, accessing the database, models, authentication, config, CSRF protection, exception handling, pagination, validation, flashing messages and much more. Let’s dive in and build a PHP framework, step-by-step!
Get ready to master drag and drop sorting in Livewire, by building a Trello clone. We’ll start out by building the interface completely from scratch, then add the ability to sort columns and cards, including moving cards around columns. As we sort everything, we’ll keep the database perfectly updated with the new order. Our Trello clone will also allow us to edit column titles inline, edit cards and add notes, archive cards and columns, and put them back on the board.
Learn how to authenticate with a Laravel API from Vue using the Composition API. We'll start by setting up a fresh Laravel project with Sanctum and Fortify, configure everything step-by-step, and then implement the ability to authenticate from Vue with a simple auth module — thanks to the flexibility of the Composition API. In the second half of the course, we’ll create our own beautiful starter kit with more features, including registration and middleware to protect routes.
Build a drop-in comment system with Livewire that instantly works for any model. We’ll cover top-level comments and replies by re-using Livewire components, editing and deleting comments, working with Alpine.js to minimise network requests, building an Alpine.js directive to display when a comment was posted, handling deleted users and loading more comments gradually. Once you’re done, you can drop a single Livewire comments component wherever you need it — and comments will instantly be enabled.
Let’s learn how wire:stream can help us stream ChatGPT responses as they arrive, by building a chat interface with Livewire. Each message we send and receive will be shown in chat history. It even remembers the conversation context. Sure, there are a ton of ChatGPT wrappers out there, but by the end of this course, you’ll have wire:stream in your toolkit for future projects.
Building an availability calendar and booking system is a notoriously difficult problem to solve. That’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this course. Step by step, we’ll build an appointment slot generator that calculates availability based on employee schedules, employee’s booked time off, the length of service chosen, existing appointments, and cancelled appointments. For maximum flexibility, we’ll also allow multi-employee availability checks, so we’ll be able to see every employee who can perform a service (and their available slots). To finish up, we’ll create an entire booking flow with Livewire, including a beautiful booking calendar that shows detailed availability across multiple dates, the ability to choose a time slot — and finally the ability to book an appointment. Phew. We’ve got a lot to learn — let’s build a booking system with Livewire!
Let’s skip the database and build the ability to like any model in Laravel, using Redis. Traditionally you’d reach for the database for this kind of thing, but as you load more models and start performing checks within relationships — things begin to slow down. With a key-value store like Redis, tracking users who have liked comments (or anything) keeps everything ridiculously fast.
Easily add drag and drop sorting functionality to your Livewire components with an Alpine directive, powered by Sortable.js. We’ll start with a list of ordered items, activate drag and drop sorting, and then feed the new order back to Livewire to instantly update the database. Once you’re done, you’ll be able to reuse this functionality in any of your Livewire components.
