I'll be presenting tonight at @phpxmel.com on Refactoring to Actions.

We will look at making your code more focused, testable and reusable by using actions, specifically Loris Leiva's Laravel Actions package.

I'll also be paying homage to @adamwathan.com's Refactoring to Collections.

Reminder: PHP × NYC next week!

Next up we have Allison Guilhem coming back to present:

Asynchronously Juggling with Symfony HTTP Client

We will explore a little-known tool, the AsyncDecoratorTrait feature of the Symfony HttpClient component.

We are excited to announce that @simonhamp.me will be joining next week via video with Building NativePHP for mobile.

A behind-the-scenes dive into the "magic" that allows us to run Laravel apps directly on mobile devices and access native features.

@marcelpociot.bsky.social 👋

Any chance of some MariaDB love in Herd? 🙏

A while ago I refactored our #TypeScript SDK so that the method call matches the @laravelphp.bsky.social
route names.

It's a much nicer DX, even the request and response data is typed. I'll write this one up into a blog post at some point.

All of my best work is in git stash.

If you're using @laravelphp.bsky.social's `ThrottleRequestsWithRedis`, clearing the attempts can get a little tedious.

This is due to the Redis database connection being used instead of the Cache, and the key being md5 hashed.

Here is a trait that is particularly helpful in Dusk Tests.

I needed one of my favourite @laravelphp.bsky.social
helpers in TypeScript.

So simple, but so helpful for cleaning up code.

I've been listed in a Laravel Starter Pack, so I thought I would move some of my coding tweets across to here... turns out most of them are Typescript-related. 😜

I need to up my Laravel posting game.

I second this. Waving 👋 from @phpmelbourne.com to @phpxnyc.com brought a lot of joy.

I’m going to wave the heck out of all the other PHP meetups as I come across them.

We need to start an organisers podcast, in between organising meetups, and work, dadding, coding, .., fade out.
The happiest thing I've done recently is creating the @phpxnyc.com handle on here and connecting to all of the other local PHP meetups that are dropping by to say hi

Makes it feel like a lil PHP family, I love it 🥰
