Most people use form requests solely for validation, but they can also help to keep your controllers clean. Here's how we use them in Mailcoach

In this stream my colleague Brent and I continued our conversation about the foundations of event sourcing. This time we showed a shopping cart that we've built using Laravel and event sourcing.

If you're interested in learning more about event sourcing, be sure to check out our upcoming course on using event sourcing in Laravel.

You'll find part 1 of our conversation on YouTube.

Our team released a new package called spatie/fork. Using this package you can easily execute multiple pieces of code concurrently.

In this example, where we are going to call an imaginary slow API, all three closures will run at the same time.

use SpatieForkFork;
$results = Fork::new()
->run(
fn () => (new Api)->fetchData(userId: 1),
fn () => (new Api)->fetchData(userId: 2),
fn () => (new Api)->fetchData(userId: 3),
);
$results[0]; // fetched data of user 1
$results[1]; // fetched data of user 2
$results[2]; // fetched data of user 3

If you want to know more about why we created the package, check out this blogpost by my colleague Brent.

In the video below, which was streamed live, you can see me explain the internals.

To know more about how to use the package, head over to the readme of spatie/fork on GitHub.
