Laracon US: What we were treated with

This years Laracon US was held on 28th of July in Boston, MA, as usual we've got a excellent ensemble of speakers:

and so much more you can find the full cast on the event website on to the goodies !

Laravel LSP

Laravel Language Server will provide in depth information for your Laravel project, code completions for a variety of editors and it can be used it agents to assist in the providing you with a better responses from it.

Inertia DevTools

Inertia DevTools is now available on the Chrome Web Store. The extension adds an "Inertia" panel to Chrome DevTools that records every Inertia visit and shows what it sent and received. Similar to the Vue Dev tools that we all know and love. It provides detailed information such as:

  • Props lists every prop as a tree, with badges marking deferred, optional, merged, and shared props.

  • HTTP shows the request and response headers and bodies.

  • Route shows the matched route name, URI, and controller action.

  • Page shows the full page state after Inertia has handled the response, including data merged in from partial reloads.

It also provides client side events and so much more.

Human-in-the-loop tool approval for Laravel AI SDK

Taylor presented it live at the Laracon stage the ability to create tools which needs manual approval to be executed, super help full and as he put it: "Quite hard to do"

Laravel Cloud

For the Laravel Cloud no that much new things per-se but Taylor took time walkthrough the newest things:

  • Scale to Zero MySQL

  • Preview Environments

  • HTTP Autoscaling

  • Secret Manager

  • Managed Queues updates - Coming up next week

  • Deploying Nuxt,js & Next.js mono repositories

  • Deploying Ruby repositories

  • Deploying Go repositories

  • Deploying Symfony repositories

As Taylor put it himself they "They went crazy", put the name aside Laravel Cloud is not only for Laravel projects it goes above and beyond. Most of the things are available now a few of them will go out in a few days.

Laravel Pint

Great addition from the team, now you can run /vendor/bin/pint --blade and it will format your PHP files and blade files as well super helpful feature and it was a long time coming it's especially useful if you use Inertia components.

Laravel Doctor

Something that was not announced live on the stage, but still released by the team, as pointed out by Povilas in this video great package that will help you to determine the "health" of your project, great addition, having such tool as "native" coming from the team is great.

Conclusion

So that were my picks for the best and most interesting things from Laracon US, you can find more detailed description of everything in the official blog post . Another great gathering of the PHP and Laravel community, hopefully one day I will be to attend it personally(fingers crossed), but until then I will admired from a far.
