Today, we're launching a new Spatie package: Laravel Google Fonts. I've written about Google Fonts before. It's a great font catalog, but the service has it's downsides. First, fonts are hosted on a different domain than your app, so the browser needs to do an additional DNS lookup. Second, it's Google. Privacy-minded visitors might not appreciate the trip to Silicon Valley.

I've used HasOne relationships for 1:1 relationships, but those are rare. I haven't considered using them to scope down relationships, like having one default payment method in a set of n methods.
<?php class User extends Model{ public function paymentMethods(): HasMany { return $this->hasMany(PaymentMethod::class); } public function defaultPaymentMethod(): ?HasOne { return $this->hasOne(PaymentMethod::class) ->whereDefault(); }} $user->defaultPaymentMethod;After reading Tim's post, I have a feeling there are some places where I needed this but didn't think of it at the time…

I've had an eye on Vite for a while. With a stable release out the door (2.0, as 1.0 never left the release candidate stage) it seemed like a good time to give it a shot.
Vite is a frontend build tool like webpack. Instead of bundling development assets, Vite serves native ES modules transpiled with esbuild from the dev server. This means there's a lot less bundling to do, and results in a very fast developer experience. For production builds, Vite uses Rollup to bundle the assets.

My colleague Ruben released a new Spatie package to generate type declarations in TypeScript from a Laravel application.

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.
