dumpall: A Simple CLI to Aggregate Laravel Files for Reviews & AI Workflows 🐱‍💻

Hey r/laravel! 👋 As a Laravel dev, I've wasted hours manually grabbing files from modules or migrations for reviews or AI prompts—tabs everywhere, context lost! 😩 So, I built **dumpall**, a lightweight CLI that dumps your Laravel project files into clean Markdown (fenced blocks with paths). It's Unix-simple, like cat for directories, and great for Artisan-heavy setups.

**5 Laravel use cases that save my sanity:**

* 🛠️ **Module Sharing**: Dump a full module (e.g., Modules/User/) for team/AI reviews—no folder-hopping.
* 🤖 **Feature Planning**: Aggregate Models & routes, paste to AI for new endpoints like past ones.
* 🐛 **Migration Debug**: database/migrations/ in one go—spot schema issues fast.
* 📦 **Config Archiving**: Combine config/ & Artisan files for audits/handovers.
* 🔍 **Model Refactoring**: Pull Models/ + Traits/ for AI-optimized suggestions.

Try it in your Laravel project:

npx dumpall . -e vendor -e node_modules --clip

It's open-source: 🌐 [dumpall.pages.dev](https://dumpall.pages.dev/) | 📦 [github.com/ThisIsntMyId/dumpall](https://github.com/ThisIsntMyId/dumpall). Feedback welcome—what Laravel workflow would you use this for? Let's iterate! 🚀

Introducing StreamPulse: Reliable Event Streaming for Laravel Applications

Hey Laravel community! I'm excited to share **StreamPulse**, a package I've been working on to solve distributed event streaming in the Laravel ecosystem.

# What is StreamPulse?

StreamPulse provides a clean, Laravel-native way to publish and consume events between distributed applications. Built on Redis Streams, it handles all the complexity of reliable messaging while giving you a simple API that feels right at home in Laravel.

# Key Features

* **Laravel-native experience** with an API that feels familiar
* **Transaction-aware publishing** \- events tied to your database transactions
* **Resilient processing** with automatic retries and dead letter queues
* **Monitoring dashboard** to visualize and manage your streams
* **Redis Streams integration** with plans for additional drivers

# Why I Built This

Working with distributed systems in Laravel, I found myself repeatedly implementing custom solutions for reliable cross-application messaging. StreamPulse abstracts all that complexity away, letting you focus on your business logic.

# Beta Release - Feedback Welcome!

This is a beta release, and I'd love your feedback! Try it out, open issues, suggest features, or contribute code.

 **Check it out:** [**github.com/saravanasai/stream-pulse**](vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Users/sarav/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html)

A bundle to handle images

Hello,

I'm looking for a bundle to handle images upload and preview in the form. Actually i do things manually but i want a package that will reduce my work. Any idea please ? I'm on Symfony 7.3 actually.

This sub should have a rule not to promote Laravel packages.

Almost every day, I see developers here promoting their Laravel packages. They forget that this is a framework-specific extension.

This sub is for questions, news and comments on general PHP subjects. Framework-agnostic packages are also welcome to be promoted here. But damn, not everyone uses Laravel. There's also Symfony and about 7128 other frameworks. Use the appropriate sub for that. Thanks.

Unknown column type "array" requested with VichUploaderBundle

I just installed https://github.com/dustin10/VichUploaderBundle in my app. I have a Product entity that will have many images, so i created a ProductImage entity for an image.

...
#[ORM\Entity]
#[Vich\Uploadable]
class ProductImage implements TimestampableInterface
{
    use TimestampableTrait;

    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue]
    #[ORM\Column]
    private ?int $id = null;

    #[Vich\UploadableField(mapping: 'product_images', fileNameProperty: 'imageName', size: 'imageSize')]
    private ?File $imageFile = null;

    #[ORM\Column(nullable: true)]
    private ?string $imageName = null;

    #[ORM\Column(nullable: true)]
    private ?int $imageSize = null;

    #[ORM\Column]
    private bool $isMain = false;

    #[ORM\ManyToOne(inversedBy: 'images')]
    #[ORM\JoinColumn(nullable: false)]
    private ?Product $product = null;
...

But when i run symfony console make:migration i have an error:

In UnknownColumnType.php line 15:

  Unknown column type "array" requested. Any Doctrine type that you use has to be registered with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType(). You c   
  an get a list of all the known types with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getTypesMap(). If this error occurs during database introspection then   
   you might have forgotten to register all database types for a Doctrine Type. Use AbstractPlatform#registerDoctrineTypeMapping() or have yo   
  ur custom types implement Type#getMappedDatabaseTypes(). If the type name is empty you might have a problem with the cache or forgot some m   
  apping information.   

Any idea about it please ?

How do you feel about PHP in phones?

Just to be clear, I know many of you will know who I am and what I'm representing here. So I'm not going to link to or name anything specifically; I'm here with a genuine question because I want to understand this community's sentiment towards this general topic, not a specific implementation.

I don't want this to be about the name of a package or the fact that it only supports this framework or that framework. Please try to extrapolate from where we are right now and think forwards.

Is running PHP in more places good or bad? Why?

What pitfalls do you think most PHP developers will fall into as they try to apply their skills to platforms other than the web?

Here's my take to get things going:

I've been a PHP developer for 25 years. I love using PHP. I think the language and tooling around it is fantastic, and in recent years has evolved and matured immensely and continues to do so.

I've invested a lot of my career into PHP and I want to see it continue. I also want to be able to expand the things I can do with these skills. I love building for the web, but it is not the only place where I work & play, nor my clients, nor their customers.

I'm a pragmatic software engineer at heart; I want to create meaningful solutions to interesting problems. PHP allows me to do that rapidly, safely, and with little fanfare, so I can move on to solving the next set of problems (probably ones I've created).

So having PHP work anywhere feels like a massive win to me and I welcome its continued expansion, and I will personally continue to push for it to happen.

If we can embrace this opportunity and help fellow PHP devs to level up to working rapidly and safely on these new platforms, the future of PHP could be even brighter.

Thanks in advance for a thoughtful and considered discussion 🙏🏼

Running locally

Since I am old school and relearning everything. I have started a project for practicing.

I've got a question to start with.


Running Windows 11 on xampp:

I want to run the app through the browser to list my directories for Movies, Music, Gallery.

Instead of bouncing all over in window explorer i would have a central place for all my entertainment.

Does php have the function of listing directories on my machine and then spit those results out in a webpage. Locally.


thanks.


ps. Perhaps even sorting those listings in a useful fashion. :)

I have built a free visual database design tool

Hello everyone,
Many of you here work on  Database design, so I thought I’d share a tool I’ve built.

I’d been planning for a long time to create a database design tool that truly fits my workflow. And finally, I’ve released my NoSQL (Indexed DB) Powered SQL Database Design Tool (yes, this sounds a bit funny  IMO).

It’s free and open source — anyone can use it. You’re also welcome to give feedback or contribute.
You can create unlimited diagrams with no restrictions. It’s a privacy-focused app — your data stays with you.

After designing a database, you can export directly to Laravel, TypeORM, or Django migration files.
It also comes with zones (with lock/unlock functions), notes with copy and paste capabilities, keyboard shortcuts, and many other features to boost productivity. It’s built to handle large diagrams and is highly scalable.

I hope you’ll like it! Everyone’s invited to try it out:

Does it make sense to have Filament on a separate codebase?

We are building an app, and as the codebase grows bigger so does complexity, and tests and tools like PHPStan and ci as a whole become slower and slower.

We are debating it, is it worth having the Filament panel as its own codebase? I can see a lot of advantages, it can use its own little sqlite database to manage its own things and communications with the main app's codebase can be easily done via https requests. We tested it and we happy on how it works.

But what's killing the entushiasm is the repetition, we need to have the same Models with some of the same methods on both codebases, the same Enums. Both codebase versions need to be in sync to work togheter, which is not a big deal on itselfs, but is another thing to keep track of and quickly adds up mental overhead.

What are you thoughts?
Did you encouter this problem before? How did you takle it? How would you takle it?

Discuss.
