@enunomaduro IMHO after_commit is a quick-and-dirty solution to this problem. Just return events instead of firing them instantly for a cleaner flow. If a method returns an event, you know you have to dispatch it while having full control over when and where.

🚨 AVOID This Mistake in Your Laravel DB transactions: if you’re dispatching queue jobs within transactions, do yourself a favor—enable “after_commit” globally and avoid the headaches… Check this video: youtu.be/N0jlh912xcM.

@benjamincrozat I only use them for soft deletion. In most other cases, adding scopes locally makes code more explicit and easier to reason about.

Something deadly Laravel offers too: Global Eloquent scopes. I've been bitten is the ass so many times. Even in my own small codebases that I last worked on 24 hours ago. Should I stop using them? I think I will.

@marcelpociot Any plans to add PostgreSQL 13?

Laravel Herd 1.6 for macOS is now available - and it's a big one! Most importantly, it adds PostgreSQL 14, 15 and 16 (+ popular extensions like pgvector and PostGIS). Also, Typesense can now be used as a Scout-compatible search engine with a single click herd.laravel.com

@davidhemphill Just combine both and let the use-case decide about the level of flexibility. Use the prop values as default values for the slots.

Which Vue component API do you prefer? Your code looks cleaner when using props, but props are not as flexible as slots. When using slots, the parent gets the most flexibility for customization, but the code can get cluttered with template tags.

@taylorotwell An interface or a method which indicates that some types of failed jobs can not be retried (using Horizon) 😎

Any little Laravel annoyances you would like to see fixed in the next major release? ❤️

⚡️ Database Tip For e.g. a dashboard, multiple queries on the same rows have to be executed to calculate different statistics. However, these queries can also be combined into one query that has to scan the rows only once! sqlfordevs.com/multiple-aggre…

@tobias_petry Pessimistic locking is one of the most underrated features of databases 😎

⚡️ Database Tip Many applications are still not doing anything to prevent race conditions or use pessimistic locking incorrectly. They load some data, validate input and update the database. If you co-operate with your database this task is easy. sqlfordevs.com/transaction-lo…

#Laravel devs, if you use uuids, #eloquent provides a HasUuid trait that helps you automatically generate Uuids when creating a model. But, do you also maintain an auto-increment primary key? You may find it convenient to wrap your own HasUuid trait over Eloquent.

@statamic More about the different deployment options, especially best practices for high availability with content editing in production, managing a separate CMS environment for editors, etc.

What can we do to improve our docs?

@freekmurze @michaeldyrynda Thanks! Have been waiting for this for so long…

👍 We’ve fixed an oversight in Ray. It will now also display the context of your log items Thanks for bringing this to our attention @michaeldyrynda myray.app

🗣️ Let’s talk shadows! Recently, I’ve noticed a few people doing this sort of stroke treatment on containers, buttons and other elements, and it hurts my feelings, lol.

Hey @pie6k! Any plans to add some kind of sensitive data masking feature to Screen Studio? Would be great to record tutorials where you have to enter sensitive information or hide/blur usernames in specific sections of the screen 😊

@taylorotwell @driesvints Great addition! Would also love to have an option where you can remove the retry button from a few jobs that you should not be able to retry via the Horizon Dashboard if they‘ve failed 🤔

I new "silenced" configuration option has been added to Laravel Horizon. 🤫 This allows you to put jobs you don't *really* care about on a separate "silenced" tab so that your "completed" tab isn't bogged down with noise. Thanks @driesvints! 🔥

@davorminchorov I would use strings. Why? Readability.

❓ You have the following enum in your PHP / Laravel / Symfony / Laminas / Spiral app. Would you store the values as: A) Integers B) Strings in your database? I am curious to see how the community would go about this.

@PovilasKorop Would choose store() and destroy() or probably invokable single action controllers in this case. Final decision depends on domain model and routes.

Need opinions. You need to create API endpoints for START or STOP the parking order. Would you stick to the CRUDdy design and name controller methods store() and update()? Or even destroy() here? Or would you make it close to the meaning and name methods start() and stop()?

@tobias_petry Just use PostgreSQL. Issue fixed.

That's a really unexpected behavior by MySQL on default. Really alarming.
