Something didn’t quite click with me about Laravel Eloquent Models.
There is nothing in the Model that defines the fields.
The Model defines which database table the data is stored in.
Whatever fields are in the table will be loaded to the Model.
I wanted to better understand what is happening when I run Laravel tests that hit the database.
TLDR: Database migrations are run on every test run, optionally with seed data.
Each test case runs in a transaction.

Using a Static Site Generator with content in Markdown is awesome for low maintenance and content portability.

Laravel automatically resolves Eloquent models defined in routes or controller actions whose type-hinted variable names match a route segment name.

Route::get('/users/{user}', function (User $user) {
return $user->email;
});
I’m working on a PHP project and code review brought up some formatting issues in my CSS.
I wanted to added automated formatting of these files accessible to everyone in the team without them having to install node as this isn’t a JavaScript project.
We already use Docker so that seemed an obvious choice.
Code reviews are a real opportunity to learn from each other - we each write code a little differently and bring with us a range of experience. So much better to spend time on this than debating blank lines.
I’m also slightly dyslexic and find it hard to even see the issues some care passionately about.
I want to do the right thing for the team but going through code line by line and applying a strict set of rules is not something I am good at or enjoy.
Computers are good at following rules though.

I used Drupal for years and recently I’m using Laravel for a project.
There is a lot to like about Laravel - but one thing that seems odd to me is the cookie handling.
I had a docker image and couldn’t find the Dockerfile but wanted to see what was in it
