Pros and Cons by using spatie-translatable ?

Hi guys, would you use spatie-translatable for a multilanguage website (around 5-6 langs) or go with only DB schema? Are there any pros and cons using spatie??
Thanks

Does Laravel Cloud support Non-Laravel codebases or Docker?

The noscript is my question. We are currently in planning phase and I plan to tell the stakeholders that we want to use Laravel Cloud as hosting solution so they create accounts for me and my dev. team.

But because of our design preference, we will use Laravel specifically for API and backend tasks...
We will have 3 frontend applications with their own separate code bases... So I wonder if Laravel Cloud only allows you to host Laravel apps or can we also use it to host Svelte and React codebases that doesn't have PHP code at all?

I wonder if we can also use Docker images on Laravel Cloud as well.

Alpine & Livewire Tooling

There are tools like PHPStan (for PHP) and ESLint (for Vue / React), which can identify problems ahead of time.

When it comes to Alpine/Livewire, what tools do you guys use for error detection / static analysis? Does anything like this exist yet?

HTMP: A Smarter, Faster Future for PHP Development

PHP has been the backbone of web development for decades, yet many templating engines and frameworks introduce unnecessary complexity, security risks, or performance bottlenecks. Enter HTMP (Hyper Text Markup PHP)—a next-generation PHP framework and templating engine designed to be lightweight, AI-powered, and optimized for speed, security, and scalability.

Unlike Blade, Twig, or Smarty, HTMP offers:

Optimized Execution – Eliminates redundant code for better performance.
AI Integration – Native AI hooks enable predictive content and automation.
Enterprise Security – Built-in XSS, CSRF, and SQL injection protection.
Seamless WordPress Support – Works out of the box with WordPress for high-performance themes and plugins.

Example of its intuitive syntax:

<htmp-template name="user-profile">
    <htmp-if condition="user.isLoggedIn">
        <htmp-text>Welcome, {user.name}!</htmp-text>
        <htmp-button action="logout">Log Out</htmp-button>
    </htmp-if>
    <htmp-else>
        <htmp-button action="login">Log In</htmp-button>
    </htmp-else>
</htmp-template>

HTMP’s AI-driven automation could change how developers handle dynamic content, SEO, and user experiences without relying on external noscripts. It is designed to scale from small applications to enterprise-level platforms.

Would you use something like this? How do you see AI fitting into the future of PHP frameworks?

🚀 Onym – A Simple & Flexible Filename Generator for Laravel

Hey r/laravel! 👋

I was developing another package and needed a consistent way to generate filenames across my project. Of course, Laravel has great helpers like Str::random(), Str::uuid(), etc., but I wanted a centralized place to manage file naming logic across my app.

So, I wrote a class to handle it—and then thought, why not package it up for everyone? That’s how Onym was born! 🎉

# 🔥 What Onym Does

✅ Centralized File Naming – Manage all filename generation in one place.
✅ Multiple Strategies – Generate filenames using random, uuid, timestamp, date, slug, hash, and numbered.
✅ Customizable & Human-Readable – Control filename formats with timestamps, UUIDs, and slugs.
✅ Seamless Laravel Integration – Works natively with Laravel’s filesystem and config system.
✅ Collision-Free & Predictable – Ensures structured, unique filenames every time.
✅ Lightweight & Extensible – Simple API, no unnecessary dependencies, and easy to expand.

use Blaspsoft\Onym\Facades\Onym;

// Random Strategy
Onym::make(strategy: 'random', options:
'length' => 8,
'prefix' => 'temp_',
'suffix' => '_draft'
);
// Result: "tempa1b2c3d4draft.txt"

// You can call the strategy methods directly, default options for each strategy can be set in the onym config file or you can override the defaults

Onym::random() // will use defaults

Onym::random(extension: 'pdf', options:
'length' => 24
) // will override the default length option

Would love to get your feedback, feature requests, and contributions! 🙌 Let me know if you have any use cases or improvements in mind. 🚀🔥

Symfony UX map with leaflet doesnt load on chrome and edge but works fine in firefox

Not sure what s the problem….i dont see any error in symfony profiler. It s simply showing empty box.

I use webpack encore instead of asset mapper. I also install bootstrap and use its css and js.

Dont think there is problem with controller code.

Is there problem with bootstrap?

PHP Map 3.12 - Arrays and collections made easy!

The 3.12 version of the PHP package for working with arrays and collections easily includes many improvements:

- Added strCompare() and deprecates compare()
- Allow key/path as argument for countBy() and groupBy()
- Allow values, closures and exceptions as default values for find(), findKey(), firstKey() and lastKey()
- first(), firstKey(), last() and lastKey() doesn't affect the internal array pointer any more
- Allow closure as parameter for unique() and duplicate()
- Fixed avg(), min(), max() and sum() when using closures
- Fixed keys when using col(), map(), rekey(), unique()
- Performance optimizations

Have a look at the complete documentation at https://php-map.org.

# Why PHP Map?

Instead of:

    $list = [['id' => 'one', 'value' => 'v1']];
    $list[] = ['id' => 'two', 'value' => 'v2']
    unset( $list[0] );
    $list = array_filter( $list );
    sort( $list );
    $pairs = array_column( $list, 'value', 'id' );
    $value = reset( $pairs ) ?: null;

Just write:

    $value = map( [['id' => 'one', 'value' => 'v1']] )
        ->push( ['id' => 'two', 'value' => 'v2'] )
        ->remove( 0 )
        ->filter()
        ->sort()
        ->col( 'value', 'id' )
        ->first();

There are several implementations of collections available in PHP but the PHP Map package is feature-rich, dependency free and loved by most developers according to GitHub.

Feel free to like, comment or give a star :-)

How to migrate router middleware in Laravel to Symfony?

As a developer with years of experience using Laravel, we've implemented numerous router middleware in our projects, applying various middleware to individual routes and route groups. Now I want to migrate part of the functionality to Symfony. After reviewing Symfony's documentation, I see only listeners are available. However, implementing Laravel-style middleware using listeners would be extremely cumbersome, requiring pattern matching against routes using various regular expressions. Is there a more efficient approach to accomplish this?
