Logging Unique Views in Laravel with Redis
If you need to log unique views in Laravel, you might reach for a database table to track IP addresses or another unique piece of data. Let's take a look at speeding things up both in performance and complexity by using Redis and the HyperLogLog probabilistic data structure. Once we're done, we'll set up a period command to sync views back to the database for easy ordering, and then create a trait to share functionality between other models.
Custom User Subdomains in Laravel
Allow users to choose their own subdomain, and give them their own area of your application where only their details are shown. You'll be able to register multiple routes for user areas. Everything in this short course can be easily applied to your own applications where you need this functionality. We'll cover every step of the way, and some things to watch out for. Finally, we'll learn how to deploy this and configure nginx and DNS records so you're ready to go.
Custom Laravel Query Builders
Using Eloquent query scopes in your project? Consider swapping them out for custom query builders. Custom query builders are model-specific, class-based builders that provide better organisation, IDE autocompletion, and more. We'll start this course by defining some standard scopes, refactor them, and discuss the benefits of custom builders. This course is for you if: - You're using query scopes, but they're bloating your models - You're working in a team and need more organisation in your project - You haven't used query scopes and want a primer, plus an alternative
Liking Things in Laravel with Redis
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.
Livewire Multi Step Forms
Everything you need to build multi step forms in Livewire. We'll cover the basics of creating a multi step form, adding steps, navigating steps and accessing state using the laravel-livewire-wizard package. Finally, we'll build a fully working practical example with more advanced step navigation, file uploads, and custom state.
