giftshare VS Laravel

Here is the code. I hope someone is able to find it useful :)

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

I am just exploring middleware in this post, but as you can see this is quite a different approach than we've seen historically. I sat there scratching my head, "How do I set up my own middleware? How do I change the defaults?" I had to explore the Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware class to find out.

For example check out this issue I reported on their side: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/49089

It does not mean you should absolutely use it everywhere, but it can make sense for your case. Many frameworks, like Laravel use it to compose new projects.

Even Tinker is a few lines of code to extend PsySH and credit is barely given.

Taylor Otwell is a fiend for creating wrappers around solid open source libraries, using PHP magic and encouraging bad practices, all just to breed an ecosystem ultimately to land him a Lambo, fuelled by amazing open source foundations that have barely been contributed back to by him.

This same system has been used in Laravel since version 4.0* albeit in the more PHP plain way, using call_user_func_array (Laravel Model Class).
