Validate Console Command Input With the Command Validator Package

The Command Validator package by Andrea Marco Sartori makes validating the input of console commands a cinch using Laravel's beloved Validator. All the Laravel Validator rules you know and love work with this package, along with any custom validation rules.

This package integrates with your application's console commands using the provided ValidatesInput trait, which includes an abstract rules() method. The command signature looks like the following:

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Cerbero\CommandValidator\ValidatesInput;

class SampleCommand extends Command
{
    use ValidatesInput;
    
    protected $signature = 'app:sample {--start-date=}';

    // ...

    public function rules(): array
    {
        return ['start-date' => 'date_format:Y-m-d'];
    }
}

I find it really neat that you can use a closure-based custom validation rule directly in your console command with command-specific business logic:


public function rules(): array
{
    return [
        'start-date' => [
            'date_format:Y-m-d',
            function (string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail) {
                $date = Carbon::parse($value);
                $startOfYear = Carbon::now()->startOfYear();

                if ($date->lessThan($startOfYear)) {
                    $fail("The {$attribute} must be a date from {$startOfYear->format('Y-m-d')} or later.");
                }
            }
        ],
    ];
}

When validation passes, you know you're working with valid input, and your handle() method can stay clean from manual validation checks.

Another neat use-case using the built-in validation rules is validating that an input exists in the database automatically with the exists rule:

public function rules(): array
{
    return ['user-id' => 'exists:users,id'];
}

Sure, you could easily query a user and conditionally return an error, but I think it's neat that you can validate it using exists automatically and give back a default error message when a record doesn't exist.

You can use this package in your project by installing it via Composer:

composer require cerbero/command-validator

Laravel Herd v1.11 Adds Forge Integration, Dump Updates, and More in v1.11

Laravel Herd released v1.11 this week, a significant update that includes Laravel Forge integration, sharing Herd project configuration across a team, a convenient profiler integration, and more:

Laravel Herd v1.11 Main Features

  • Forge Integration - Integrate directly with Forge and deploy applications via the UI
  • Share Configuration With Your Team - share project configuration via a Herd.yml file
  • Profiler - profile applications with the SPX profiler using herd profile
  • Reverb TLS Support - Reverb TLS support with the click of a checkbox
  • Dump UI Improvements - Dump queries, HTTP requests, logs, and more directly in Herd

Forge Integration

Herd now has direct integration with Laravel Forge, enabling you to deploy your site directly from Herd, open an SSH connection on the server, or even open your site on forge.laravel.com. Head over to the documentation to learn more!

Sharing Configuration With Herd.yml

With Herd v1.11, you can share project configuration with your team using a Herd.yml file in the root of your project. You can configure the project name, domain aliases, PHP version, and SSL certificates.

You set up the Herd.yml using the herd init command. If your project doesn't have the file, the init command prompts you through the setup process. Pro users can also define services in the Herd.yml file.

When a new developer clones your project, running herd init will get them up and running immediately, and all developers will have the same setup. Projects can configure the Forge server and site IDs to share site configurations with all developers.

Check out the Herd documentation to learn all about Sharing project configurations.

The Herd v1.11 update is available immediately on macOS, with the Windows release happening soon.

Profiler

Herd v1.11 has a new profiler for identifying performance issues in your code. Herd makes profile requests, CLI scripts, and long-running tasks seamless.

Profiler example from the [Herd documentation
Profiler example from the Herd documentation

Here's an example of profiling Artisan commands via the Herd CLI:

Dump UI Improvements

Herd's dump debugging features a new custom PHP extension that makes using dd() and dump() automatic. You can also configure Herd to dump queries, HTTP requests, views, jobs, and logs.

TemPHPest PHP Extension for VSCode

TemPHPest is an extension for Visual Studio Code to improve writing PHP in VS Code. Created by Liam Hammett, this package adds rich PHP features that will enhance the experience tremendously while writing PHP:

TemPHPest is an extension for VSCode that I’ve been working on to bring nice little tweaks and features to improve working with PHP. Each feature could probably be a separate extension, but being bundled in one is easier for me to maintain and you to install.

TemPHPest Extension Features

  • Stubs for file creation
  • Auto Renaming
  • Code Actions
  • Auto Switch to PHP Language
  • Auto Interpolate from single quotes to double quotes
  • Surround with Snippets
  • Explorer file nesting
  • REPL as you write
  • Date formatting lense
  • Smart autocompletion
  • Blade Heredoc/Nowdoc syntax highlighting
  • And more...

Let's highlight a few features that launched with TemPHPest for VS Code:

Stubs

Creating a PHP file in VS Code gives you an empty file (without PHP tags) out of the box, but TemPHPest uses PSR naming conventions to fill out an empty class/interface/trait/etc, based on the file's name. For example, creating a PHP file in app/Enums will stub out an enum for you with the proper namespace:

<?php

namespace App\Enums;

enum Statuses
{
}

Code Actions

TemPHPest supports a few code actions during the initial release, such as converting arrays to short arrays syntax and combining string concatenation. According to the author of the extension, the number of code actions available will grow over time.

TemPHPest code actions triggered via <super> + .
TemPHPest code actions triggered via CMD + .

Interpolate a Value

If you're updating a string and add an interpolated value, TemPHPest automatically changes the line to use double quotes. This is a small paper cut that gets really annoying when you have to swap single quotes for double quotes.

Heredoc Strings Can Render Laravel Blade Syntax Highlighting

When using BLADE heredoc and nowdoc strings, strings are highlighted with the Blade syntax (you'll need a separate extension to provide blade syntax highlighting)

Get Started

To get started with TemPHPest, install it from the TemPHPest - Visual Studio Marketplace page. You can also search for "TemPHPest" directly in the VS Code Extensions menu and install it that way.
