On Github you way from time to time need to patch release the previous version of a published release.  This took me longer than I care to admit to understand the steps involved. Hence I'm documenting them in this post. Step 1: Check out the branch corresponding to the previous version of your code. git checkout 7.3.0 Step 2: Fix the bug in the code. Let's say it's a breaking change that's been fixed in the code. Step 3: Commit the changes with a version number that indicates the patch release. Commit the fix git commit -m "Fix bug in 7.3.0" Next, create a new tag git tag 7.4.0 Step 4: Push the changes to the remote repository. git push origin 7.4.0 Step 5: Create a new release for the patch version on GitHub. Navigate to the main page of the repository on GitHub.com, click on the Releases tab, and then click on the "Draft a new release" button. Step 6: Fill in the details for the release in the form, select the tag created from Step 3, and fill in the release notes. Once you have filled in the details, click on the "Publish release" button to publish the release. بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Suppose you find yourself in a situation where you need to disable or intercept a console command in Laravel. This tutorial will primarily focus on how to intercept the php artisan migrate command. We'll delve into the command method app/Console/Keel.php and explore how to prevent the migrate command from executing any actions. Inside the command method of app/Console/Keel.php In Laravel 11 use routes/console.php Intercept command You can intercept php artisan migrate and, instead, catch it and use a closure. Artisan::command('migrate', function () { // }); This would essentially stop the migrate command from doing anything. You could then print a message out: Artisan::command('migrate', function () { $this->info('Command NOT AVAILABLE. Use this: php artisan app:migrate'); }); Running an alteative command: To run a different command: Artisan::command('migrate', function () { $this->call('app:migrate'); }); In this case, a new command called app:migrate would be executed. Run command with a --path option: Artisan::command('migrate', function () { $this->call('app:migrate', [ '--path' => 'database/migrations' ]); }); Now when running php artisan migrate you will get an error: The "--path" option does not exist. The reason for this is the custom command does not have a path option. Lets create the command and add the option. Create a command: php artisan make:command AppMigrate This creates a class called AppMigrate.php inside, ...ادامه مطلب

Introduction When working with forms, it is common to display or conceal various fields based on the options selected. I'll use Vue to conditionally show or hide form elements. In this example, I'm going to use an SFC (Single File Component) for ease of us. You'll see this in full in the putting it all together section below. For this to work it does not need to use a SFC, the HTML and JS will work when used in traditional setups i.e. having JS in javascript blocks and the HTML in a page's body. Creating the form elements Here I have 2 select elements, imagine the insurance type should only be displayed if the answer to Do you want insurance? was Yes <div> <label for="insurance">Do you want insurance?</label> <select id="insurance"> <option value="">Select</option> <option>Yes</option> <option>No</option> </select> </div> <div> <label for="insuranceType">Insurance Type</label> <select id="insuranceType"> <option value="">Select</option> <option>Home</option> <option>Travel</option> </select> </div> Binding Form Elements First, we need to create variables to bind the elements. Inside a script tag define a const for each element. <script setup> import {ref} from "vue"; const insurance = ref(); const insuranceType = ref(); </script> Notice that , ...ادامه مطلب

That begs the question how do you separate the time into seperate elements? Making use of explode can work. Exploding where there a : so: $parts = explode(':', '14:25:00'); This would result in an array: [ "14", "25", "00", ] To use an element you can refer to its index for example $parts[0] would contain 14 Using them by their index is fine to do but kinda messy. I prefer to give each element a name using the list function list($hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode(':', '14:25:00'); When using list() passing an array to it will allow you to name each index of the array in the order listed. Putting this into practice I like to define the null versions before using list to ensure the variables will exist. $estimatedTime = 14:25:00; $estimatedHour = null; $estimatedMinute = null; $estimatedSeconds = null; list($estimatedHour, $estimatedMinute, $estimatedSeconds) = explode(':', $estimatedTime); Now we have the variables that can be used in select menus: note I'm using Blade syntax here for readability. <select name="estimatedTime_hour"> <option value="0">Hours</option> @foreach(range(0,23) as $hour) <option value="{{ $hour }}" {{ old('estimatedTime_hour', $estimatedHour) == $hour ? 'selected=selected' : '' }}>{{ $hour }}</option> @endforeach </select> <select name="estimatedTime_minute"> <option value="0">Minutes&l, ...ادامه مطلب

Running API tests you may be tempted to open PostMan or another API client, did you know, you can run HTTP requests from inside PhpStorm directly? When developing a new API, you will want to run the API endpoints. Being able to run them without leaving PhpStorm speeds up your workflow. To start a request file, you can either select a HTTP Request file when using the new file or create a new scratch file. For a scratch file select the HTTP Request type. In either case a file ending in .http for example scratch.http You can name the file anything you like and have multiple files. The difference between having .http files in your projects and a scratch file is a scratch file is only stored in your .idea folder and not inside your project files, (outside of version control. Demo API Throughout this post, I will be using a sample public API https://reqres.in/ Request Format To create a request enter the type of request (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) followed by the URL to fetch. You can also set headers by typing them in the format of key:value If you need to pass through a body then type that out with a line break in a json format. Use ### to separate each request. Method Request-URI HTTP-Version Header-field: Header-value Request-Body ### Get Request To create a GET request type GET followed by the URL to fetch.

I wanted to create a table of contents from the post's heading tags automatically without having to change the headings like adding an id or anchor. I started to look at existing solutions and came across this custom function on Stackoverflow by sjaak-wish function generateIndex($html) { preg_match_all('/<h([1-6])*[^>]*>(.*?)</h[1-6]>/',$html,$matches); $index = "<ul>"; $prev = 2; foreach ($matches[0] as $i => $match){ $curr = $matches[1][$i]; $text = strip_tags($matches[2][$i]); $slug = strtolower(str_replace("--","-",preg_replace('/[^da-z]/i', '-', $text))); $anchor = '<a name="'.$slug.'">'.$text.'</a>'; $html = str_replace($text,$anchor,$html); $prev <= $curr ?: $index .= str_repeat('</ul>',($prev - $curr)); $prev >= $curr ?: $index .= "<ul>"; $index .= '<li><a href="#'.$slug.'">'.$text.'</a></li>'; $prev = $curr; } $index .= "</ul>"; retu ["html" => $html, "index" => $index]; } This will generate a list of links based on the headings.
