spatie.be VS async

How do you debug your code in PHP? Do you use var_dump or dd in Laravel? Many of us also use logger to log output & figure out the problem in multiple steps. Spatie built a debugging tool called Ray that one can use to simplify the operation over dd or logger.

When in comes to Laravel packages, the guys at Spatie are probably the kings. They have hundreds of free packages you can pick from and use into your projects. Hats down for their commitment and contribution to this beautiful ecosystem.

In this article, we'll be using the Laravel Permission package from Spatie.

I'm thinking to make it as a software license, one-time payment with one year updates, as spatie.be do.

We use Oh Dear from spatie.be to check availability, dead links, certs and more for our critical FQDNs. Works perfectly fine. we also see it as a way to give something back to them in return for all their hard work in maintaining their open-source packages for Laravel.

The guys behind it work at Spatie[1] which you have probably heard of some of their packages, and Freek has a blog[2] that has a lot of PHP stuff on - lots Laravel, and lots just general new language stuff (covering PHP8 features etc)

Spatie (https://spatie.be) makes a lot of great packages for Laravel. It also has a website with video courses and the code is open-sourced here https://github.com/spatie/spatie.be. I’ve learned a lot about testing from Spatie packages.

So I along with my colleague M H Hasib started working on a project of our own inspired from the API of laravel-permissions package by Spatie and the result was mongoose-permissions package.

Examples would be something like spatie.be, beyondco.de, and serversforhackers.com

I really wanna get into writing more asynchronous PHP but having to switch to a whole different web server and execution mode is a major stumbling block. The only library (that I know of) that allows asynchronous code in traditional PHP environment is this one by Spatie.

You can leverage https://github.com/amphp/parallel or https://github.com/spatie/async without changing the app much.

To handle this problem i've used "https://github.com/halaxa/json-machine" to decrease the memory usage and "https://github.com/spatie/async" to decrease the take taken for the "update process" to complete

It drove me crazy too, until I needed to use Puppeteer which requires you to write async/await (there are Puppeteer implementations in other languages, but they all seem to make compromises I didn't want). Generally speaking, async/await allows you to write code that looks and feels serial. Perhaps try using one of the async libraries for PHP to wrap your mind around the concept of async/await (like https://github.com/spatie/async)

Try using spatie's async package and run a chunk of 10 tests in each batch, if that works it might cut your waiting time by quite a lot.
