Wrapping JSONEditor in Vue as Well as Laravel Blade

UPDATED November 05 2017 This will cover how to make a JSONEditor component that I can then use in a Blade template and listen to events. You will end up with this: First making sure I have all the packages I need: //package.json "devDependencies": { "axios": "^0.17", "bootstrap-sass": "^3.3.7", "cross-env": "^5.0.1", "jquery": "^3.2", "laravel-mix": "^1.0", "lodash": "^4.17.4", "vue": "^2.1.10" }, "dependencies": { "select2": "^4.0.5", "jsoneditor": "^5.9.6" } And to load it into my bootstrap file:

Laravel, Dusk and Valet

By default I set my phpunit.xml to use test as my database: <php> <env name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/> <env name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/> <env name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/> <env name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="log"/> <env name="QUEUE_DRIVER" value="sync"/> <env name="DB_DATABASE" value="test"/> <-- this line here </php> But with Valet and Dusk this led to the browser using my default database and not test but the PHPUnit test itself was using test so the user I created and logged in as was not available in the browser.

Mocking Models OutSide of Laravel

This all comes down to me using https://github.com/orchestral/testbench With this in place I can work on an external library as if it is in Laravel.

Versions and Branching a Library

At work Andrew Cavanagh and I had to, using many examples on of libraries we use, to finalize how to branch and version our libraries. There should be one branch for each major version (1.0, 2.0, etc). These should be the only branches besides master. Releases within these versions should be tagged following semantic versioning guidlines (v1.2.3 for example). In general, all work should be done via pr from the master branch and then merged into whatever the current branch is.

IronFunctions and PHP

A colleague of mine Dave Hall poing out IronFunctions. And being in the pursuit of serverless options especially ones that even have examples of PHP I had to give it a try. This post is a note2self in that the intro here has some bits that need fixing BUT I think it is close and I hope to add more updates here about the tool. All the steps below will only work once you take on the initial hello world here.

Meetings and Cross TimeZone Teams

Wrote and article https://medium.com/@alnutile/meetings-and-cross-timezone-teams-c9b833c43bfb on trying to find the blanance of meetings and focus time. Saved here as well for when they go out of business :) Meetings and Cross TimeZone Teams Meetings are needed, most of them at least, and when I worked with a team that was all in the same timezone I was easily able to say, “Between 1–4 I am coding/focusing” or “Between 6am and 9am” I am coding.

Dusk and Homestead

Working on learning Dusk and really excited to get going with it. But running it in homestead proved to be a bit tricky. After following the docs and running php artisan dusk not much happened. Sure if I ran it on my Mac and it just worked but my tests needed to do migrations and what not and I want to keep my work in Homestead. So a few steps later and it worked thanks to this post https://github.

Instantiate Request for Testing

When I need to make a request for a test in which the Class is expecting a \Illuminate\Http\Request I can do this for a file based or non file based request. /** * @Then I should be able to upload an image file */ public function iShouldBeAbleToUploadAnImageFile() { $request = new \Illuminate\Http\Request(); $file = new \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\FileBag(); $path = base_path('tests/fixtures/example_profile.jpg'); $originalName = 'example_profile.jpg'; $upload = new \Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile($path, $originalName, null, null, null, true); $file->set('profile_image', $upload); $request->files = $file; $this->repo = new \App\Repositories\ProfileRepository(); $results = $this->repo->uploadUserProfileImage($request); PHPUnit::assertTrue($results, "Repo did not return true"); PHPUnit::assertTrue(File::exists(public_path('storage/' .

Example Job Format for Queue

Sometimes I just need this info to remind myself what a job looks like in a queue and how to mock it etc. In this case I have a simple class that will be used to dispatch the job. <?php namespace App\Jobs; use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable; use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels; use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue; use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log; class RandomWordJob implements ShouldQueue { use InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels; public $payload = []; public function __construct($payload) { $this->payload = $payload; } /** * Execute the job.
