Supercharge Your Laravel Development and Get AI to Understand Your Models
Hey there, Laravel enthusiasts! Today, I'm diving into a nifty trick that'll make getting AI to understand your Laravel model structures a breeze. We'll harness the power of bash scripting and AI to analyze our migrations quickly and efficiently. Let's get started!
Using Laravel Vite with MAMP
As seen in other posts, I use MAMP quite a bit for my web development environment. I know I can run docker, or any of the other platforms out there but they use more memory and resources that I'd prefer to devote to my dev tools.
I started a new Laravel project and wanted to use MAMP but Vite was throwing errors due to the SSL not matching out of the box.

How to Setup CI/CD of Jigsaw Site to Digital Ocean Droplet Using Bitbucket Pipelines
I created a new personal resume site and decided I wanted to build a static site since it wouldn't be frequently updated. I evaluated Nuxt, Gatsby, and a few others but settled on Jigsaw, a static site generator based on Laravel. I had never used it before and figured this would be a good learning experience while building something I needed. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to use and setup, so kudos to the Tighten team for putting together such an elegant solution.
I wanted to get a CI/CD pipeline configured to handle the site's deployment but couldn't find any working tutorials, so I'm sharing my solution in case it helps others. I'm using Bitbucket for this since it's a personal private repo, so I'm using Bitbucket Pipelines.

If you haven't added the flysystem-aws-s3 package, add it to your project using composer:
How to Extract Text from image using Laravel and Amazon Rekognition API
I'm currently working on a project that requires extracting text from images of variable quality. I'm doing quick prototypes using PHP and Laravel, but I've found the documentation for accomplishing this a bit lacking. After working on it for a bit, I figured out a really simple solution and am sharing in case it helps anyone else.
This sample will send the image to the API as a blob instead of using a URL. I had tried Base64 encoding it without any luck. I discovered that using Imagick was the easiest way to make this work so the sample relies on that.
Fire up terminal and add a requirement for aws/aws-sdk-php:
How to Execute a Stored Procedure in Laravel 5.6
I've been stumped on this and tried everything I can think of but I can't get Laravel to execute a working mysql query to reorder an ordering column when deleting a row.
Here's a sample simplified query, which works directly in mysql:
How to test email sending in Laravel 5.3 using artisan tinker
I'm building a Laravel app and ran into an error when trying to send mail but wasn't getting an error back since the request was posted through ajax. If you're trying to troubleshoot it, artisan tinker app is very useful to get more information on the error.
Fire up terminal/command line and run:
