I last blogged about handling routes in a Laravel and Inertia app. The premise was that we don’t have access to Laravel’s URL generator functions with Inertia, so we need to pass our application’s routes down differently.
The same problem exists with authorization: we don’t have access to the can
helper and other Gate
methods. Here’s a short post about dealing with authorization on the frontend.

Both Inertia.js and Livewire have been in the spotlight the past few months. The two libraries often get put next to each other because of their (coincidentally) simultaneous releases.
I’ve seen many people compare the two, or ask if they can be used together. This post showcases their similarities and differences, and should help you understand which problems they each solve best.

Every now and then I come accross a Class log does not exist
exception in Laravel. This particular exception is thrown when something goes wrong really early in the application, before the exception handler is instantiated.

I’m building a multi-tenant Laravel application. One of the requirements of the project is that every client can have their own theme based on their corporate guidelines. By default a few css adjustments will suffice, but some clients request a completely different template.
Conditionally loading a different stylesheet per client is pretty trivial, but in order to use a completely different view per theme you quickly end up typing the same thing over and over across various parts of your application.
