In our daily life, we are going through lots of packages, and some of us don't know how to build our own package into Laravel.

We are going to perform the core steps to create your own package in laravel. In this tutorial we are going to build zoom package, so we will perform steps related to it.

Setup Fresh Laravel Repo 

Setup fresh laravel repo, and then create directories within it. 

for e.g Create infyomlabs/zoom-api directory into root.

Now create src directory into zoom-api

Run Composer init Into src Directory

After hitting composer init it will ask some information from you, as you can see in below image I have entered some of information. you can just hit enter if you do not want to add other information.

Add your config file (Optional)

Create directory config into src directory and add your config.php file there from where you can manage your env variables. 

Add Service Provider

Create your service provider from where you can do lots of actions. like you can publish config/routes/ migrations files from there. here we are publishing the zoom config file. 

Add your class (Which contains all functions) 

Here we have added a Zoom class which will be contained all zoom functions. 

Update Composer.json 


Finally, Test it in your existing project

Put the following code to your main composer.json (in your project's root). and hit composer update

  "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "infyomlabs/zoom-api",
            "options": {
                "symlink": true
            }
        }
    ],
    "license": "MIT",
    "require": {
        "infyomlabs/zoom-api": "dev-develop"
    },

Basically, we set up email/username and password login in all our projects. but, sometimes we need to implement s passwordless login in laravel application,

First of all, what is passwordless login? passwordless login is an authentication method that allows the user to log in without entering a password.

In this article, I show you how to set up passwordless login laravel step by step.

Step 1:

one great laravel package Laravel Passwordless Login provides the ability to log in without a password. 

This package provides a temporary signed URL link that logs in a user, What it does not provide is a way of actually sending the link to the route to the user. This is because I don't want to make any assumptions about how you communicate with your users.

Step 2:

Open the terminal and go to the project directory and fire the following command to install

composer require grosv/laravel-passwordless-login

Step 3:

Configure the following variables in your env file

LPL_USER_MODEL=App\User
LPL_REMEMBER_LOGIN=false
LPL_LOGIN_ROUTE=/magic-login
LPL_LOGIN_ROUTE_NAME=magic-login
LPL_LOGIN_ROUTE_EXPIRES=30
LPL_REDIRECT_ON_LOGIN=/
LPL_USER_GUARD=web
LPL_USE_ONCE=false
LPL_INVALID_SIGNATURE_MESSAGE="Expired or Invalid Link"

Step 4:

Create one function in your login controller. it looks like

use App\User;
use Grosv\LaravelPasswordlessLogin\LoginUrl;

function sendLoginLink(\Request $request)
{
    $user = User::where('email','=', $request->get('email))->first();

    $generator = new LoginUrl($user);
    $url = $generator->generate();

    //OR Use a Facade
    $url = PasswordlessLogin::forUser($user)->generate();

    $data['url'] = $generator->generate();
    $data['user'] = $user;

    Mail::to($user->email)->send(new UserLoginMail($data));
        
    return back();
}

Step 5:

Set following route in your web.php

Route::post('/user/login', [LoginController::class, 'sendLoginLink'])->name('userLogin');

Step 6:

Create one mailable. you can refer a doc if not familiar.  also, fire the following command for create a mailable

php artisan make:mail UserLoginMail

Step 7:
Create a Email UI as per your requirement.

Lots of developers have a question How do I create a global gitignore file? so, In this article, I show how to set up a global git ignore.

Reviewing pull requests, I often see contributors sneakily adding editor configuration to the repository’s .gitignore file. If everyone would commit their environment-specific .gitignore rules, we’d have a long list to maintain! My repository doesn’t care about your editor configuration. There’s a better solution to this: a personal, global .gitignore file for all your repositories. Here’s how you can set one up. create a .gitignore file for your global rules.

You need to set up your global core.excludesfile configuration file to point to this global ignore file. So, let's start step by step

Step1:

Create a file .gitignore on your profile C:\Users\{username} for example C:\Users\Shailesh

Step 2:

Now you can set a  .gitignore  path with a three-way. we need to tell to git this my global git ignore file. 

First Way:  Using Windows git bash

Let's open Windows git bash and fire the following command,

git config --global core.excludesFile '~/.gitignore'

Second Way:  Using Windows cmd

Let's open Windows cmd and fire the following command,

git config --global core.excludesFile "%USERPROFILE%\.gitignore"

Third Way:  Using Windows PowerShell

Let's open Windows PowerShell and fire the following command,

git config --global core.excludesFile "$Env:USERPROFILE\.gitignore"

 So, you can easily set the .gitignore global file. You can also see here video tutorial here as well. 

Today we are going to see how we can generate a data table with one of the most popular a stisla theme.

We can actually do that in minutes with the package that we Recently developed called stisla-templates.

Our team made a great effort into this package and developed it with a new feature. this template package has Jquery Datatable support. So, anyone can easily generate CRUD(scaffold) with a Data table. 

Let's see step by step, how we can do that.

Install Packages

Follow the installation steps given in our official documentation of Laravel InfyOm generator and stisla-templates if not installed.

Now, you have to perform the following steps.

composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle:"~9.0"

this package handles the query and frontend stuff.

Register provider and facade on your `config/app.php` file.

Now clear your cache and regenerate it using the following command,

php artisan config:cache

We are done with installation and configuration.

Use Generate Scaffold with Datatable

Now I going to add an option  jqueryDT, at last, to use JQuery Datatables while generating scaffold. the command looks like

php artisan infyom:scaffold Post --jqueryDT

Enter all required inputs and generate scaffold of Post.
All views are created inside the posts directory in the resource. also, the `post.js` file created inside the js directory in assets that are located inside the resource.
Fire the following command for compile and publish the `post.js`

npm run dev

Now, datable is ready for use. you can watch the video tutorial here

Generate Custom Validation Class

namespace App\Rules;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;
class UuidExists implements Rule
{
   
    protected $table;
    protected $column;

    public function __construct($table, $column)
    {
        $this->table = $table;
        $this->column = $column;
    }

    public function passes($attribute, $value)
    {
        $value = Uuid::fromString(strtolower($value))->getBytes();
        return \DB::table($this->table)->where($this->column, $value)->exists();
    }

    public function message()
    {
        return 'The validation error message.';
    }
}

\Validator::extend('uuid_exists', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {
 	list($table, $column) = $parameters;
  	return (new UuidExists($table, $column))->passes($attribute, $value);
});

'tenant_id' => ['required', 'uuid_exists:tenant_id,uuid']

Here we will learn how to send real-time notifications using Pusher + Laravel.

First of all, you need to create an account in the Pusher and get API keys from there.

Setting up your Laravel application

Now we need to install Pusher SDK, you can install it by the composer using the below command,

composer require pusher/pusher-php-server

After the composer is done, we will need to configure Laravel to use Pusher as its broadcast driver, update the below variables in the .env file,

PUSHER_APP_ID=123456
BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher

// Get the API Keys from your pusher dashboard

PUSHER_APP_ID=XXXXX
PUSHER_APP_KEY=XXXXXXX
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=XXXXXXX

Open config/app.phpand uncomment the "App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider::class".

Now we need an event that will broadcast to the pusher driver. Let's create a NotificationEvent.

php artisan make:event NotificationEvent

This command will create a below file

namespace App\Events;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
class NotificationEvent implements ShouldBroadcast
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;
    public $username;
    public $message;
    public function __construct($username)
    {
        $this->username = $username;
        $this->message  = "{$username} send you a notification";
    }
    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        //it is a broadcasting channel you need to add this route in channels.php file
        return ['notification-send'];
    }
}

Add broadcasting route in channels.php file

Broadcast::channel('notification-send', function ($user) {
    return true;
}); 

Cache Event at Javascript Side

// Initiate the Pusher JS library

var pusher = new Pusher('YOUR_API_KEY', {
    encrypted: true
});

// Subscribe to the channel we used in our Laravel Event

var channel = pusher.subscribe('notification-send');

channel.bind('App\\Events\\NotificationEvent', function(data) {
    // this is called when the event notification is received...
});

Testing and Setup

Using the below route we can send a notification.

Route::get('test', function () {
    event(new App\Events\NotificationEvent('Monika'));
    return "Event has been sent!";
});

Stripe Configuration with Laravel

composer require stripe/stripe-php

STRIPE_KEY=your-stripe-key
STRIPE_SECRET=your-stripe-secret

Publish Migrations Files From Stripe

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="cashier-migrations" 

php artisan migrate 

Setup Stripe Controller

php artisan make:controller StripeController

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory;
use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Stripe\Checkout\Session;
use Stripe\Exception\ApiErrorException;
/**
 * Class FeaturedCompanySubscriptionController
 */
class StripeControlle extends AppBaseController
{
    public function createSession(Request $request)
    {
        setStripeApiKey();
        $session = Session::create([
            'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
            'customer_email'       => $userEmail,
            'line_items'           => [
                [
                    'price_data'  => [
                        'product_data' => [
                            'name' => 'Make '.$company->user->first_name.' as featured Company',
                        ],
                        'unit_amount'  => 100 * 100,
                        'currency'     => 'USD',
                    ],
                    'quantity'    => 1,
                    'description' => '',
                ],
            ],
            'client_reference_id'  => '1234',
            'mode'                 => 'payment',
            'success_url'          => url('payment-success').'?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
            'cancel_url'           => url('failed-payment?error=payment_cancelled'),
        ]);
        $result = [
            'sessionId' => $session['id'],
        ];
        return $this->sendResponse($result, 'Session created successfully.');
    }
    public function paymentSuccess(Request $request)
    {
        $sessionId = $request->get('session_id');
        // 
    }
   
    public function handleFailedPayment()
    {
        // 
    }
}

Define Routes

    Route::post('stripe-charge', 'StripeController@createSession');
    Route::get('payment-success', 'StripeController@paymentSuccess');
    Route::get('failed-payment',  'StripeController@handleFailedPayment');

Setup From View file

 $(document).on('click', '#makePayment', function () {
           
        $(this).addClass('disabled');
        $.post(makePaymentURL, payloadData).done((result) => {
            let sessionId = result.data.sessionId;
            stripe.redirectToCheckout({
                sessionId: sessionId,
            }).then(function (result) {
                $(this).html('Make Featured').removeClass('disabled');
                manageAjaxErrors(result);
            });
        }).catch(error => {
            $(this).html('Make Featured').removeClass('disabled');
            manageAjaxErrors(error);
        });
    });

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;

              ->width(150)
              ->height(150);
    }
}

$media = User::first()->addMedia($pathToImage)->toMediaCollection();

How to fetch the generated thumbnail? 

$media->getPath();  // the path to the where the original image is stored
$media->getPath('profile-thumb') // the path to the converted image with dimensions 150*150

$media->getUrl();  // the url to the where the original image is stored
$media->getUrl('profile-thumb') // the url to the converted image with dimensions 150*150

How to generate multiple thumbnails for a single image? 

..... in User Model .....
use SpatieImageManipulations;


    public function registerMediaConversions(Media $media = null)
    {
        $this->addMediaConversion('profile-thumb')
              ->width(150)
              ->height(150);
    }

        $this->addMediaConversion('old-profile-thumb')
