Documenting code, one commit at a time.
This post details how we streamlined our content generation process to improve security, consistency, and maintainability.
Previously, our application used separate code paths for generating content based on user prompts versus automatic generation. This divergence led to inconsistencies in security auditing, resource management, and error handling.
Sometimes, during development, placeholder values can inadvertently slip into the final application. This post discusses how we addressed such an issue in our vlog index page, specifically focusing on unresolved :app_name placeholders.
Unresolved placeholders are problematic because they present a poor user experience and can sometimes expose internal
We've all been there: a quick fix for an apparent issue, like an unresolved placeholder in a user-facing section. But what happens when the fix itself introduces more complexity than it resolves?
Recently, we addressed an issue where the :app_name placeholder wasn't being correctly rendered on the /earn hero section of our application.
Recent commits to our application focused on improving the reliability and efficiency of our caching mechanisms, as well as enhancing the overall robustness of the codebase. These changes aim to prevent race conditions and reduce the risk of errors during refactoring.
A key improvement involves replacing Cache::has and Cache::put with the atomic
As projects evolve, maintaining a clean and organized codebase becomes paramount. We recently undertook a significant refactoring effort to improve the structure of our application, focusing on a domain-driven approach.
Our service layer had grown organically over time, resulting in a flat directory structure containing numerous service classes.
In software development, repetitive tasks can consume valuable time and introduce inconsistencies. Automating these tasks not only boosts efficiency but also enhances code quality and maintainability. This post explores how custom skills can be leveraged to streamline project workflows, focusing on practical examples and benefits.
Custom skills are
When working with custom models that extend core framework functionalities, it's crucial to maintain type compatibility. A recent fix in our application addressed a TypeError that arose from an incorrect extension of the Subscription model.
The custom Subscription model was initially set up to extend Eloquent's Model directly.
Sometimes, the core functionality of a framework needs a little customization to perfectly fit the nuances of a specific application. Recently, we faced a situation where we needed to extend our Tenant model to directly handle subscription checks, which required overriding some core Cashier methods.
Our application uses a multi-tenant architecture. Each tenant needs to manage
In large projects, repetitive code across numerous tests can lead to maintenance overhead and inconsistencies. We recently tackled this in our application by extracting common tenant setup logic into a reusable trait, significantly reducing code duplication and improving test maintainability.
Our testing suite involved numerous tests that required setting
Implementing full-text search can significantly enhance the user experience of your portfolio or blog. This post details how to add PostgreSQL-powered full-text search to a Laravel application, focusing on accent-insensitive prefix searching across multiple fields.
Simple LIKE queries in SQL often fall short when dealing with complex search
