Thinking about rolling a new web server with @Vultr. Been looking at them for a while and think it's a good time to take the leap. Any #Laravel friends have a referral code they want to drop?

So I heard y'all like types in your ORM. Laravel allows you to define casts at the model level to handle casting values to their native types. More interestingly, it also allows you to define them at query time, so you're not sacrificing the power of SQL 💅

🌟 Eloquent tip If you need to insert or update a whole bunch of records in a loop, don't use `Model::updateOrCreate`. Instead, use the `DB` facade's `upsert` method to use your database's built-in upsert functionality to do the whole thing in one query!

If you ever need to build a quick CSV export command for your Laravel application. This is how I would recommend doing it. Open a resource to StdOut and then chunk your results and write them to the output using fputcsv(). It'll handle the CSV output perfectly 👌 #laravel

🔥 Laravel tip: Remember to use bindings in your raw queries. You can pass an array of bindings to most raw query methods to avoid SQL injection. #php #laravel #sql #AI #Java #Javascript #100DaysOfCode #learning #web3 #webdevelopment #freelancer #مطور_ويب

🔥 #Laravel Tip: Eloquent's 'whereExists' method is useful, but it relies on sub queries. A more efficient way to run the same query is an advanced inner join.

🔥 #Laravel Tip: Seeding your database one record at a time can slow the DB to a halt. A better option is to use PHP to make a bunch of records and then seed them in chunks. Here’s how you can go from 10,000 queries to 5!

🔥 #Laravel Tip: Eloquent’s ‘whereDate’ function is useful, but it prevents the database from using an index, which can effect performance on large tables. Fortunately, it is easy to replace it with ‘whereBetween’:

🔥 #Laravel Tip: Eloquent provides a ‘withCount’ method, but it uses a sub-query, which can be up to 8 times slower (or more in some cases) than using a leftJoin & groupBy. Refactoring only requires a few changes and can make a big difference…
