Introducing Laravel Google Fonts

2021-06-23 #laravel #webfonts #performance #privacy

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.

↗ Tim MacDonald on HasOne relationships in Laravel

2021-03-30 #laravel #eloquent / timacdonald.me

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…

Vite with Laravel

2021-03-22 #laravel #vite-with-laravel #frontend #build-tools

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.
