php-wasm VS Laravel

Something closer to “native“ (although still not native) would be an electron app with php interacting with the dom using something like php-wasm https://github.com/seanmorris/php-wasm. Now THAT would be incredible to interact with the ui (dom) without writing any JavaScript, all php.

(And yes, php for browser exists https://github.com/seanmorris/php-wasm )

Presumably more trouble than normal options are worth, but you can also run PHP code in your browser directly using WebAssembly, like https://github.com/seanmorris/php-wasm does. You’ll still have to write normal front end stuff for the visualizations, but this saves you needing to run a server (in theory…I’ve never tried it)

There's work being done with wasm, e.g. php-wasm, but I haven't used it and don't know how well it works etc.

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).
