Check out this video where Mateus Guimarães talking about their own package Persist. An extension on top of Eloquent embracing the Aggregates concept from DDD. This package ensures that a single, composed entity along with its related entities are persisted in an all-or-nothing manner with one single operation.

The latest releases introduce several enhancements and fixes, including a new multiply() method for collections, the capability to append discovery paths to the EventServiceProvider, and the ability to use extensions with the Str::markdown() method. Additional utilities like Str::chopStart() and Str::chopEnd() are also included, while Number::pairs() offers a novel way to divide numbers into min/max pairs.

Harness the power of Laravel's HTTP Client to handle multiple API requests simultaneously, which is especially useful for scenarios requiring aggregation of data from various independent sources. Here’s an example of how to combine price checks from different suppliers:

$responses = Http::pool(fn ($pool) => [
    $pool->get('https://supplier1.com/get-prices'),
    $pool->get('https://supplier2.com/get-prices'),
    $pool->get('https://supplier3.com/get-prices'),
]);

This week, dive into the challenges and strategies of integrating PHPStan into legacy PHP projects. The article outlines practical approaches for adopting PHPStan to improve code quality incrementally. It focuses on setting up PHPStan, configuring it to recognize and handle legacy code specifics, and embedding it into continuous integration workflows to ensure ongoing code quality without overwhelming the development process.

The accepted RFC adds new methods to XMLReader and XMLWriter for direct stream handling, improving their ability to manage already open streams.

The RFC brings notable improvements to the ext-dom extension, enhancing functionality with several new features. It adds CSS selectors to streamline node querying and introduces the innerHTML property for straightforward content manipulation. Additionally, the RFC enriches the Document class with new properties, introduces a TokenList class for managing class attributes efficiently, and incorporates multiple PHP-specific enhancements.

This week, we're spotlighting httpstat, a versatile tool that helps diagnose network-related issues, like slow API calls, by visualizing HTTP request timings. While not a package per se, httpstat is a must-have in any developer's toolkit for its insightful network performance metrics. This tool is available in multiple stacks being the Python implementation the one with more traction.

Explore the key differences between P50 (median) and the mean in statistical analysis. This article clarifies how each measure handles data, particularly in the presence of outliers, and guides when to use each for accurate data representation.
