I love it in Laravel. We extend a bunch of main Laravel code to cover our requirements. Awesome.

@Leonhart_93 Ай бұрын

YES, reading Laravel's source files is a game changer. Not only you understand better what is the thing doing exactly, but you can find a lot of other useful functions and snippets in the process. And also I have been using DB query builder macros to add new functions to it, like one that automatically selects columns with an alias name, based on a map array loaded at the macro's definition, that maps column names.

@aarondfrancis Ай бұрын

I love to macro the query builder! Super powerful

Ay Ay Ron (sorry, intrusive thoughts won), this is the first time I'm seeing someone actually go beyond the basics in Laravel and talk about approaching Laravel not from a purely consumeristic perspective, but rather from an engineering perspective.

I think I might need to watch this video a couple more times at 0.5 speed to fully grasp what I just saw. It's looks easy but magical at the same time.

@Nittiyh Ай бұрын

Fun video! It's always interesting to see what's under the hood and all the undocumented ways you can use the framework. An approach for this particular problem that I like to use is to have a "url" attribute accessor on my model, and have that be responsible for handing me the proper URL. That way, I don't even need to remember my route name throughout the project.

I feel that the way in which you do it (showing the process, rather than just the result) makes it less intimidating. Finally, you're not solving a specific problem, you're using the problem to showcase a method of finding a solution, which is awesome as well!

This is a great video about how to think! I would personally keep the original route URL and then redirect to the external URL in the show method, so when we add page statistics, trends, etc., that would also work for the external posts as well.

They are so high quality, even the fact that there is close to no cut when you are speaking... wow.

Routes are cached & serialized, so Closures are probably not great. You should try it with cached routes. Empty weakmap? But it is fun making computers do what you want! Just test it with production config before you go to production :D

Closures are great for demos like this 🙂 How would you extend differently? Would love to see some code!

@fuzzyfox0 Ай бұрын

This feels like a lot compared to just adding a redirect within your `ArticleController`'s `show` method at the start that does the sniff test for external, and responding with a redirect. Cool to see the process you followed for utilizing macro's though 😁

@aarondfrancis Ай бұрын

Yup! Agreed!

@TheMoonWatcher Ай бұрын

Not an SEO person, but I imagine that will have some sort of SEO implications. I would imagine linking directly to the external URL is better than having the crawler follow a URL only to find it redirects you to an external site. Also it would be more transparent to the user to be able to see that the URL is external. But I do agree that your solution would be easier to implement 😂
