Helpers & Collections, with Jacob Baker-Kretzmar
Laravel's Collections were popularized by Adam Wathan's book "Refactoring to Collections", but if you haven't read the book you may be left wondering exactly what they are and how we work with them. And you've likely seem some of the common global helpers—app(), auth()—but there are dozens that even the most experienced Laravel programmers don't always know about! In this episode helper & collection afficionado Jacob Baker-Kretzmar walks us through both sets of tools and some of his favorite ways to work with them.Jacob Baker-Kretzmar Twitter - https://twitter.com/bakerkretzmarJacob’s GitHub Account - https://github.com/bakerkretzmarJacob’s Website - https://bakerkretzmar.ca/Laravel Documentation: Helpers - https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpersLaravel Documentation: Collections - https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/collectionsRasmus Lerdorf Twitter - https://twitter.com/rasmusLaravel Documentation: Dataget - https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpers#method-data-getLaravel News: Laravel Collection “Tap” Method - https://laravel-news.com/collection-tapLaracasts: Fluent Strings Manipulations - https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-7/episodes/2Laravel News: Using the Laravel Optional Helper and the New Optional Closure - https://laravel-news.com/laravel-optional-helperLazy Collections in Laravel - https://josephsilber.com/posts/2020/07/29/lazy-collections-in-laravelRefactoring to Collections, by Adam Wathan - https://adamwathan.me/refactoring-to-collections/Laravel: Up & Running, by Matt Stauffer - https://laravelupandrunning.com/ -----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.
