Laravel VS Brick\Money

Looking at artisan and the Symfony maker bundle, I saw two different ways to build content. Artisan works with stub files which are text files with a Twig syntax for the variables. And the maker bundle works with php templates.

In PR #51376 to Laravel in May 2024, Jason McCreary and Joel Clermont added the Illuminate\Console\Prohibitable trait to the framework, which was then included in the Laravel 11.9 release.

When you call the driver method on the facade, it's proxied to a manager, depending on which facade you're using. In the caching scenario, it's directed to the CacheManager. Let's inspect its code.

For more information on this vulnerability, check out the official Laravel security advisory: GHSA-gv7v-rgg6-548h

While this feature isn't released yet, it's expected to be available soon. Keep an eye on Laravel's official channels for the announcement. In the meantime, check out the merged PR on GitHub! https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/53179

Starting in Laravel 11.26, you can now use the artisan make:job-middleware command to generate Job middleware.

Create a new issue in the parent repository, in our case the laravel/framework repository. Be as detailed as you can be for the update you are doing.

Hope this saves a future team from unexpected behavior resulting in (potential) production data loss.

When using Postgres, Laravel's default method for truncate uses the cascade option, which will ignore foreign key constraints and potentially wipe large amounts of data with no confirmation or warning.

It was originally introduced in 2018: https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/26389/files

Here are two threads on it if you are curious: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/29506

For the last couple of years I’ve been using Value Objects in my projects to bring language-level strict types to what would typically be array data structures in my code. From method inputs to JSON API responses, value objects have almost entirely replaced arrays throughout. The ability to get runtime type checking and IDE auto-complete has eliminated many potential bugs, from key typos, to assigning an incorrectly typed value by accident: what type is an “amount” property in a credit card transaction API response? An integer of cents (or other minor units), a Money object such as brick/money or moneyphp/money? Or worst of all, a float?

brick/money: A money and currency library for PHP

1 - Floating point is not always great for money operations and can introduce odd rounding errors - https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php - you might want to use something like this: https://github.com/brick/money

He should have said to use Brick/Money https://github.com/brick/money which is based on Brick/Math but is specifically money related.

If you don’t want to do the integer conversions yourself, I highly recommend looking at: https://github.com/brick/money

brick/date-time is great! I personally prefer its interface and functionality over Carbon's. I also really like his money library

Is the most popular, but https://github.com/brick/money is preferrable IMO. One of the reasons is that it handles not just money, but all arbitrary precision calculations independent of currecy via brick/math.
