## Transcript

foreign hey what's up welcome back in this episode you're going to watch me stumble through setting up a laravel application we've done this once before just playing around with laravel but this time I'm going to use the boot camp as a sort of walk through here so the laravel boot camp this brand new thing they just uh announced at laricon bootcamp.laravelle.com so this should be pretty fun to just go through and try to set this up one of the reasons why I like to play around laravel is it helps give extra context when we're using other Frameworks like Django or rails it's important to go and see what other communities are doing and how they're how they're approaching things and yeah just to like test out the developer experience and see kind of maybe some ideas or inspiration for tools that we might want to bring from other ecosystems into our own so it's a it's a good thing to do and I think it should be pretty fun so I I wanted to just record it in case you wanted to watch so I'm going to speed up the parts where I'm just reading um but yeah I'm going to try to go through this entire boot camp thing so that we can stay frosty oh gosh stay frosty what is stay frosty this is uh okay so it's a Van Halen song but what does it mean oh gosh okay something I picked up in the military apparently be alert and ready for action without letting your fear or emotions get in the way we're gonna go into this boot camp for laravel fearlessly and we're gonna set this up and get going okay so uh we're gonna we're gonna learn this okay here we go okay so this is building chirper with inertia I'm not super familiar with inertia it looks like we're going to use either view or react I'm a little bit more familiar with react so maybe we should use view I don't know let's maybe let's just stick with the react so that uh we can minimize the number of things we have to learn all right so we're gonna choose react we selected react all right we're going to jump over to our installation here so this demo requires that we have Docker installed I don't actually have Docker on this machine yet so we're going to go over to the full installation guide for uh no to the docker install and setup Docker for Mac actually can I install this oh yeah I also want to use it for an apple chip so it's just installing the DMG I might just give up and use that instead of using home brew okay whatever let's just use this installer that's fine it's coming from docker.com and that's probably the preferred way to do it all right whatever here we go gonna install that okay so now Docker is being installed what else do we have to do after we install Docker okay then we're gonna just copy this curl command here which is going to download something um which is going to be some bash script from chirper and I like to like look at these and make sure it's not going to install anything to uh too nasty on your machine right because it's copying and pasting stuff off the Internet isn't great uh to do if you're not super familiar with what's going on all right so now we can say uh docker no did it fire it up no are we installed did it install Docker there it is Docker gotta give it some privileges and okay so now it has this service agreement cool cool all right there's Docker desktop and now we should have a little Sammy shark looking thing oh it's not Sammy shark it's just another uh whale uh icon thingy okay all right so we've got Docker installed we should be able to run this now so let's jump over here and run that Docker is not running lies is still starting up okay it's still starting okay now as it started okay now it's running so now we can run this I think okay fantastic so this is using laravel sale apparently I don't know what that is some CLI thing um to help install it seems like maybe sale is like Foreman inside of maybe like Foreman I don't know maybe not sail up sale install no it seems different than Foreman it's like something related to docker here's a quick tip you can create a shell Alias that allows you to execute sale commands more easily so all right we'll grab that and while we're waiting for that other thing to download I'll open up my zshrc and go down to my aliases drop in sale Source my DOT zshrc and now we should be good to go once the docker containers are started we should be able to access it at localhost so laravel Breeze is like um devise inside of rails and so we're going to install laravel Breeze and that's going to set up all of our authentication features and stuff this thing is still downloading there's a lot to this wow okay so this takes a while to like actually get set up so we've got Docker installed but now we're waiting several minutes for it to download all the different packages and everything and then fire up those Docker containers so this is pretty cool laravel breeze lets you have several options for your view layer including blade templates or View and react with inertia so I think inside of devise you're just stuck with the default HTML Erb views that device gives you and so this is really neat that it allows you to install um Breeze and you can set it up so that it's going to use view or react that's pretty nice so again like what even is inertia single build single page apps without building an API it's like okay so is this like Hotwire it leverages the server side and it has no client-side routing and it doesn't require an API so it's not a framework yeah and it has okay so I've never used it with rails either so we're going to use it for the first time with laravel and then maybe we'll do it an episode about how to use it with rails Docker wants to uh do something okay so now we can finally CD into that directory and run chirper up or sale CD and interpreter and then run sale up wow chipper selenium okay this there's just so much output here what is going on okay um holy moly okay so let's look at the let's look at docker um let's take a look here at the dashboard so it has chipper started up six containers wow okay so it has my sequel selenium which I'm guessing is for our tests like end-to-end tests fired up redis melee search mail hog wow okay so lots of services Fired Up by default okay and these are all being yeah so sale up does seem like kind of like bin Dev in terms of firing up the server and it looks like there's even like Health routes and a bunch of okay so this is this is interesting okay so now we can see The Interpreter whoops oh no I moved it I put it in my DOT files um chirper sail up sale up again all right so that's going to fire up all of our Docker things again and now if we open up chirper Okay so oh right we want to now install uh laravel breeze so we're going to say composer require laravel slash Breeze and again this is going to be our authentication tools it's downloading these packages composer is kind of like um a dependency manager bundler like tool for installing dependencies and then we're going to say Artisan Breeze install for react and then we should be Off to the Races looks like we need to run npm run Dev to actually run the Veet Dev server so let's get Breeze installed yeah so for inside of rails with Foreman when we say bin Dev we can have it fire up like our JavaScript stuff as part of that process I have no idea how to configure this sale thing so that it will also start npm run Dev um and it looks like we also need to um migrate the database so I'm not sure why we need sale here instead of just Artisan migrate um but okay so while that's going I wonder if I can just come over here and say bin sale Artisan migrate okay so this is going to run some migrations these are these are migrations that uh came from Breeze right because it's this is our users passwords uh users and passwords table at least different Breeze I don't know about failed jobs or personal access tokens this one's probably also part of Breeze I'm guessing maybe there's like a job thing that's part of a breeze in the background not sure okay and then in our previous tab once that's fired up npm run Dev and it crashed okay uh it looks like maybe this is related to yeah it's this is because I think I'm on M1 so um my guess is that I need to add this package unsupported platform you installed es build on another platform than the one you're currently using okay so I don't think these instructions are in here I think we've hit our first error that The Bootcamp is not telling us about so let's try to figure this out so yes I don't know why it thinks we need es build like I don't I've never actually used Vite either or Veet um but that should run Veet and that's okay so that's opening failed to load this thing okay Define config all right okay hmm and all right so in package.json when we run npm run Dev it's running this Veet thing which I think is loading Veet config and the dev dependencies here none of these I don't know maybe I need to like npm uninstall es build or something I don't know um npm run Dev oh that worked okay so because I had es builds like globally installed somewhere else I think maybe that failed and are we up and running nice look at that okay super cool all right so let's go back over here um so that problem wasn't related to M1 and it wasn't related to this example it was just that I had other crafty things that could be challenging when you're first starting out like to figure out what what's going on all right so we're going to continue here to create some chirps models provide a powerful and enjoyable interface for you to interact with your tables in your database it is enjoyable right like I think it's probably yeah it probably is enjoyable um okay and then it's also going to give you these migrations those are going to change our database and then the controller is supposed to deal with processing the requests and returning a response one thing that's different in laravel is that typically the validation happens in the controller instead of the model so we'll have to like keep that in mind as we go interesting okay so artisan make model with Dash MRC this is more similar to scaffold in that it's going to create the model the migration and the controller all at the same time so let's do this and we'll fire that up okay so it's going to create a chirp I think a chirp is supposed to be something like a tweet or something okay model successfully created and it created a migration okay we can also do dash dash help to see what's up and then okay so it's going to create the model for you it's going to create the migration and the controller so we've got a model migration controller one nice thing that I like about rails that we're not seeing here in laravel is that rails will print out the actual file name so this stuff that you're seeing in the documentation here like this exact thing is what would have been printed out in rails right like we would see the paths to all those new files that's part of like the rails convention for generators is it will tell you all the new files that it created so now I think we can say something like sale Artisan migrate oh we're probably supposed to follow the instructions all right let's keep going all right that random migration but that was we were not supposed to do that step yet so it says to go into our routes and apparently like the like the same way that uh rails we have routes that are B in laravel there's several different routes but the one it's saying to go into is this web route here and we're going to add a new uh route definition for our controller and this is how we say like what path you should go to and apparently because we're using a resource controller we can do this route resource thing which is super super similar to um to rails right like we can just pass in something and it looks like it'll create several for us so in the resource method here on the route class we're going to pass in chirps um chirps and we're also going to pass in the class so like chirp controller is the name of the class that's going to handle those routes so we're going to do chirp controller colon colon class I think that's right and then we can in the same way inside of rails that we can say that we only want like index and create here we have this sort of like fluent interface where we can say only and then it looks like we pass in yeah an array of strings so index and store I think store is like create in rails I don't know we'll see and then we want to specify some middleware so that I think this is how we control whether or not you have to be like authenticated so yeah the auth middleware ensures only logged in users can access that route and verified middleware be used if you decide to enable email verification so what's cool about this is that instead of doing this bit at the controller level you're doing it at the route level what you can technically do in rails too but the convention I think is to add a before action or whatever so all right so that should give us our route that gives us these routes and of course there's some method here that we can use to list out our routes so let's do that and just see what we get back and it crashed terp controller does not exist chirp controller oh do we need to require it or something or like load it yeah so we need to load it here use app http so let's see where this is so it's in I'm guessing app HTTP controller strip controller um controllers chirp controller okay and then then when we run this again the nice thing about running these like list commands is generally when you run like rails routes or um or in this case sale Artisan route whatever like it's actually loading up some or all of the entire application and as it's doing that if you have some errors there you're going to see them now instead of later on when you're trying to just load the page or whatever okay so that tells us what we need now we're going to go over to the the trip controller and try to like actually add some stuff to it okay so we're going to go to this trip controller go to the index action and then I think it just wants us to return a string hello world okay go to localhost slash chirps oh we have to log in so I don't know if that was a step in the process I think we may have skipped a part um so let's refresh this page register gosh I really like this this look and feel it's really nice just out of the box um okay so we're logged in here now if we go to slash chirps we can see Hello World nice okay cool not impressed yet not not super a lot of this is super super familiar so okay here we go all right one thing that I really do like about this flow though is that every time it shows you a file that you've already created the diff is really nice it's like oh here's the file or like the lines you should add and the ones you should remove that is money I like that I also think that like you don't really need line numbers unless you're gonna specifically talk about a line number in the pros of your documentation so um yeah I really like this okay so now we're going to use this new inertia render thing I'm actually going to write this out so I return inertia uh render and then I think it was yeah chirps slash index I'm guessing that's going to be like some component or something and then we can probably pass it some State okay and then we need to like again import this so we're going to say use inertia slash inertia inertia yeah okay so now we can say inertia render this is probably like the name of the yeah the component so now it says we can create our front-end component trips slash index page with a form for creating new chirps all right this is a lot but I'm gonna like actually type it out just so that I'm like picking everything up so let's uh let's move this over here move this over here and okay so this is going to go into resources JS so this is where apparently we're going to write some JavaScript stuff and in Pages we're going to add a new chirps directory and in there we're going to add um index.jsx okay so we're going to need to import react from react we're also going to need to import thank you that's interesting at slash I don't think I've seen that uh before it seems like we're loading that from like some default route or something okay we got a bunch of imports done now we're gonna create this like index component that we're actually going to export so export default function index and that's going to take in some auth prop and we're going to return a bunch of jsx here so we're going to use that authenticated layout we pass down that auth thing okay that makes sense so this is going to be some sort of like react provider that will wrap all of the internal content and know whether or not you're authenticated I don't actually know how it's going to get that auth prop but we're just following along here so the head component title is going to be chirps that's probably just going to modify the head tag and then we will have a div with class name and okay this is going to be some tl1 CSS to make things look nice and then we're going to have a form with on submit that is going to use some submit Handler that will Implement in a little bit so up here we probably have const submit is equal to something we're going to prevent the fault and then that is going to make a post request to the route chirps dot store interesting okay so this is like a client-side helper for figuring out a route based on some thing okay that's neat I like that and then on success is a function where we're going to call reset and what else happens here that's it okay so this post method the route method the reset method all of these are coming from some use form provider so const data set data post processing reset errors is coming from use form and use form is starting off with a message of empty okay all right that's cool and this use form thing comes from inertia JS inertia okay and then this head tag I wonder okay so that's this component is also coming from inertia and I wonder what fancy stuff that's doing okay back to our form here all right we're going to add a text area and this has the value of data.message so this message here probably is related to this message here I'm guessing when we say use form this is going to be all the properties of the form and then yeah like at when we click on submit um I sort of expected that we needed to post the data from this form and maybe that's what it will do so I don't know we'll see okay uh value placeholder is what's on your mind again class name is going to be some list of Tailwind classes and then when we say on change this is going to take in a function set data of message to edot Target that value probably I can't see over there that far let's see yeah eat out target.value okay and then we're gonna have some uh text area all right let's grab this CSS thank you very much yeah of all the things I'm going to copy and paste CSS is going to be one of them because there's just especially with Tailwind there's just so many classes and stuff all right and then we have our text area Okay so that's good and then we also want to have this input error component this is going to have errors.message and again we're going to copy the class oh it's just margin top two okay that's good um all right and then we have a primary button component inside at the last part here primary button class name is going to be margin top of four disabled is if it's processing so this um processing Boolean seems to also come from this use form hook okay all right I think that's looking pretty good I don't know why my my uh styles are like not like there's not very much coloration or like color stuff going on right now for my syntax highlighting inside of this jsx or inside of the PHP honestly so I don't know what's going on there okay so that's our authentic authenticated layout all right we're going to refresh the page here and boom okay so I probably spelled this inertia thing wrong I'm guessing or maybe I didn't install it did I not install inertia I probably just spelled it wrong so let's go back to our trip controller a nurse in Turkey yeah what's on your mind test click on chirp and nothing happens let's open the network Tab and just like see what's going on here so if we go to network and do test and click chirp so that is making a network call and it is sending a wait okay it's first sending a post request and then it makes it get so the post request payload had our message that we typed in test two chirp here's our post request of test two and then the response there's like nothing coming back in the response so it's giving us a 302 found and then redirecting us right so in the response it's redirecting us to slash trips so then that forces us to make a get request we are refetching the chirps oh interesting okay and because we're making um this request with content type application Json it seems like it's coming back as Json so this is giving us wow nice okay so this is including all of the auth context and I don't know what the Ziggy thing is what is that about that's so interesting whoa that's like all of our routes and everything okay I don't know if all right that's odd all right and uh no errors what is this okay I don't know what's going on all right we're gonna keep going so at least we know it's making a post request back to the server and I don't know if it's like already wired up to store and create that for us or not so let's actually look here we are in the trips controller this create in store action like the store action doesn't actually have anything implemented so I don't think it's actually storing anything I think it's just hitting the server and being redirected back for some reason as part of inertia all right so we've got we've got all that all right let's go to our navigation menu so we're going to open up the authenticated um layout let's see resources JS layouts authenticated layout and then here it wants us to add a nav link after dashboard we're going to say it's probably going to be similar and this one is going to be called chirps and the route I'm guessing is yeah chirps dot index and if the route.current is chipset index okay so that gives us a nice should give us like a nice navigation at the top so yeah there we go chirps dashboard chirps and if it's what's cool about this is like it already like handles this styling oh no it doesn't handle the styling for us that's only all right oh I spoke too soon I spoke too soon all right so down here somewhere there's another thing uh or like responsive okay responsive nav link here we go okay and now the responsive one has it too sweet okay saving the chirp all right so this is where we start actually putting the chirp into the database so uh we're gonna go back to our chirps controller uh chirp controller it's singular in laravel not not plural and here we're going to do some validations so validated is going to be request valid date and we're going to pass in some stuff here we want to validate that message data that came in and it's required it has to be a string and it has to be Max 255 characters cool but then we say re Quest user chirps create so this is actually pretty similar except for the validations are happening in the controller return redirect route chirps dot index so that's what art was already happening to this redirect to chipset index so now if we come back over here test test test if I just like spam this with like way too many if I say chirp message must not be greater than 255 and that was coming from the server so if I do this again and say chirp then we're going to have this post request here that in the um in the res uh wait what no oh wow okay so it's in the in the get request so it's always redirecting no matter what it's always redirecting and when it redirects it gives you back this props with errors and it figures out how to put those in the right spot okay that's pretty nice um so yeah you don't have to build very much at all you just say drop in that input error thing and you're Off to the Races that's pretty cool okay now we want to make a relationship between current the current user and their chirps so we're going to go to the user model and ins they are authenticatable okay cool that's very much like device right device authenticatable and then we are going to make a method here at the bottom we're just going to say public function chirps and it is going to return this has many chirp class so yeah I'm curious how you specify um like foreign keys and uh public or yeah like the the primary key foreign key and if the name of the association in the database is different how do you like control all that so that's like more advanced I guess eloquent relationship stuff um eloquent is the name of the database tooling inside of laravel okay laravel offers lots of different relationships you can read more about them so in like early days of rails we had this thing where you would specify which attributes on the database were Mass assignable um we've done away with that and everyone uses um strong params now inside of the controller you say you know params that require.permit.whatever but in the old days on the model level you used to do something like this where we would say protected fillable name password and whatever so if we go to our chirp here we would say something like protected fillable is message um yes I can't remember what it was it was like outer accessible or something like that or yeah the old the old school way of doing in rails was very similar to this where you would protect your protect from Mass assignment on the model level instead of on the controller level it made it kind of a pain because if you wanted some controllers to be able to assign certain things but not other controllers then you had to like manage that yourself basically um so what what might be challenging here is if we want a chirp to be able to have a message created by one user but only updated by another user or something like then things get a little bit funky but um okay cool so now it says we need to update the migration the only thing missing is extra columns to store the relationship between the chirp and the user Okay so um all right so we're gonna go to the migrations where we create the chirps table and right now a trip just has an ID but we need to add the concept of a message table for an ID is user ID I don't know what constrained means Cascade on delete okay that creates a new string field in the database called message okay all right so now we can migrate this see how it is in migrate nothing to migrate oh you know what I messed up remember when I said I don't it didn't tell us to migrate yet um all right so now we got to figure out how to roll the database back can we do migrate backwards uh unmigrate rails artisan okay how to reverse migration I don't know migrate colon rollback okay so that rolled it back and now if we try to migrate it forward all right so now presumably it created some trips table thing um so each migration can only be run once foreign development you may want to update an existing migration ooh migrate fresh interesting okay all right so let's test it out again so we're going to refresh and say test and click chirp all right and uh uh all right and then we can open up the laravel console which is called Tinker sail Artisan tinker and here I guess we can say chirp all and we've got one in there great and that has our user ID and it has the message that we just created all right we can exit out of that and continue on to showing our chirps so one thing I'm realizing is that I said when we create the model it's kind of like scaffolding but it's not though because the chirp controller was not fully populated with all of the information about create like all the crud actions were not actually implemented for us so it created the controller but all of the controller actions were empty I think that might actually be what I want with rails too is like scaffold the controller but don't actually fill it in for me yet okay retrieving the chirps so back in our index method here we're going to say something like chirp .all or whatever to give us back our chirps um but it looks like it's actually different than that it wants us to use chirp.width user ID and name okay trip.with user colon ID and name that's interesting I have no idea what this colon thing is I'm assuming width is sort of like select or pluck but I don't know latest and get hmm okay latest probably means like quarter by ID descending or something all right let's see nope call to undefined relationship user on the model chirp so we probably have to go Define like the belongs to method we're using eloquence width method to eager load every chirps oh every chirp associated with user ID and name interesting okay so this is user this is to this is saying eager load the user's ID and name oh interesting interesting interesting okay so in rails we would say like includes user and that would just include all of the user's data and eager to load that for us okay latest is again reverse chronological order cool all right this is gonna just this is just saying we're not talking about pagination yet go figure that out later um all right so yeah we've got to go to our chirp model and we have to add this belongs to thing so we're going to say public function user and this is going to have belongs to user class okay that's the inverse of the has many we created earlier right right right all right updating our component so we're going to create a front end component for our chirp so we're going to go back to resources.js components and we're going to add chirp.jsx import react from react and then export default function chirp and that's going to take in the chirp data I'm guessing somehow we're going to return some jsx here and what is that going to look like we're going to have a div and I don't know there's some SVG thing and then we have another div and some P tag okay all right so I'm just going to grab the SVG I don't like writing those out by hand something changed with my syntax highlighting and it's not yeah something's not working right okay so we've got our class name there and this one is just going to be class name is flex one and then inside of here we have another div okay this is actually here Flex between items Center okay yep cool cool all right and then probably a span for the name okay and then a small for the date of chirp.created at all right and then finally the P tag at the bottom has our actual tripped up message okay finally we're going to update our index component to accept in the chirps prop in render out are actual chirps so pages chirps index so now this is going to take in chirps and we need to import the chirp from oh at slash components slash chirp so this at slash is like refer to the root of my Js resources that's interesting okay is that a v thing or yeah I don't know okay and what do we want to do now down here after our form we're going to add a list of all of our chirps for each chirp we want to just render back a chirp with the key being the chirp ID and the chirp being the chirp chirp I've said chirp so many times that it doesn't seem real anymore like it doesn't yeah is that even a real thing all right and then we'll just grab this class name so that it looks nice one other thing that I like about this demo is that the class names there's actually not too too many of them and I think it might look pretty nice oh wow look at that this is the SVG for the little uh chat box and if we say test two and we chirp that's going to be at the top wow that looks beautiful I love that okay that's super nice all right um cool what's next now we want to make it editable or relative dates ooh yeah I've been wanting to use dayjs for something so let's do this so we're going to install day Js which is supposed to sort of be like a spiritual successor maybe to moment um and yeah so let's open back up our chirp .jsx I'm guessing and then we're going to edit that date time situation here somewhere so yeah so instead of new date here we're going to say data or day JS pass in that thing and then from now should give us like a nice looking thing uh oh we broke something all right do we need to restart this nope what's going on okay so we're gonna open up the console and we're going to look at what errors we have day JS is not defined okay so I think I forgot to import it so we're going to come back over here uh yeah import day Js from day JS maybe I don't know let's see what does it tell us to do JJs from dayjs and then relative time from dayjs login relative time so one of the problems with moment was that people were finding that um it was just super heavy weight in order to work with dates and so people didn't like that and so date FNS or like date functions and dayjs are supposed to make it better so you can sort of just um pull in exactly what you need uh and that's it so let's see if this wants to play nicely see now it says two minutes ago 13 minutes ago that's way cooler okay very nice all right so we're gonna take a look in the browser see what it looks like cool all right so now we're going to add editing trips Twitter doesn't even have this we're going well above and beyond okay all right so first we're going to update our routes to support updates we're going to go to our routes file and down here where we added this we want to now add in addition to store we want to support update and we're going to now go to our um chirp component the jsx component on the front end and what are we going to do we're going to add use state from react and what is that going to give us editing set editing this is like if we're changing it okay so by default that's false it also wants us to pull in a couple different components drop down input error primary button since we've already added these I'm going to pull those in we know where those come from so that is all straightforward and then from inertia again we're going to use form and use page so import use form and use page so if you're if you're learning something then I think like if you're learning how to code I do think it matters that you type it out because when you type it out you start to see different things you start to see shapes and you start to see oh this is actually capital or not capital or whatever and oh this is actually being pulled in from inertia instead of at slash inertia or whatever and in fact I made a mistake I was going to go inertia slash and nurse uh Dash react here but that's a mistake because this is actually inertia JS and if I was just copying and pasting directly then I wouldn't have seen that and I wouldn't have like started to remember and build up that muscle memory so that I can go and build this on my own so even though I'm going through it I could easily copy and paste everything from the guide at first I want to type it at least once and then once I'm familiar with it then I'm like more comfortable copying and pasting so here I'm going to say use page and um okay so this use page thing is likely working with that authentication provider that's wrapping up this whole app right and so this is allowing us to pull off the auth which is cool um which is important because why does that matter uh yeah I think we're going to use it yeah we're gonna use it somewhere down here so um yeah okay uh all right so we need to add we're going to add a form at the bottom probably yeah so let's go down and say okay yep so we're going to remove the message so we're removing the message and we're saying if we're editing show the form otherwise show the message okay so here we're going to do something like this is like a react thing where you use these ternaries and then you can now we'll write like okay so if we're editing then we're going to do a form with on submit is going to be equal to submit um and then otherwise we're going to do this P tag and then we'll close up our ternary operator here and so for this form it's going to have a the text area and all that stuff that's available on chirp index I think it's going to be pretty close to the same as this form so I'm just going to copy that and then drop it in here okay and then I'm just going to look and make sure that looks pretty similar it looks like we might actually have more classes on this one so I'm going to grab the rest of those classes for the text area maybe maybe it's the same I don't know and then what else we got okay uh the primary button now is going to be called save instead of chirp oh there's also a cancel button okay so we're also going to add button on click set editing to false oh and reset and recall reset is coming from that inertia JS form thing right yeah so we're going to use that we're going to use that hook to pull in a bunch of different stuff so this use form hook uh gives us back a bunch and we're going to set the we're going to initialize it with the chirp.message so that it's like pre-populated the form is pre-populated with that and then we're going to use data set data patch AC processing reset errors okay and then for our form we need this submit function again we're going to prevent default and then we're going to call Patch which is kind of like post but instead it's just going to be like updating something the route is going to go to trips to update and oh for this route we have to pass an ID so it knows which chirp it's going to update and then we're going to say on success something and what is that going to be set editing to follow um okay so this is like a nice little thing after our created at there's like another potential thing that says if if the created and updated that are different then we're going to show that it was edited terp.created at does not equal chirp Dot updated at then we're going to print out another small that probably has yep the same stuff and um what that's going to look like is we'll just say edited uh nice little dot there sure okay and then all right so if the chirp user ID and the auth user ID are the same then we're going to have a drop down list that allows us to edit the chirp okay so here right after right okay so this is so that we only show the edit button on chirps that are our own otherwise we would be showing the edit button on everyone's chips and that wouldn't make sense so chirp.user.id is the same as auth.user.id then um we're going to do something isn't it weird that and and actually means then sort of uh that's like the short circuit we're just like really really uh misappropriating the short circuit logic of JavaScript for jsx which is not cool I don't know but this is this is like the way everyone does it so drop down DOT trigger and then we have a Content drop down DOT content okay gosh I gotta get some tag helpers for jsx so the button this is going to be like the three dots I'm guessing like the hamburger style button menu thing um okay and then the content is going to be a button and the button is going to say edit and I think this is probably going to make it so that just marks editable is true on click is set editing true I I prefer to put the all the classes especially when we're working with Tailwind at the very end that way like you don't accidentally Miss that this thing actually has a function at the end that is set up for its on click Handler okay all right let's see what this let's see what this looks like so uh must be in an enclosing tag did I okay it seems to think oh this is missing a close curly okay there we go all right there's our little edit menu we can say edit and crashed all right let's open up the terminal what do we got going on data is not defined oh because I copied that from the other form so what is the form in this case yeah it's data.message so um all right so oh I said date here that should be data okay refresh we say edit test two again save all right so it's not updating that's because we haven't implemented the controller method yet to actually update the database I'm guessing that's the next step yep updating our controller okay so now we're going to go to the update method in the trips controller that's gonna be weird trip controller to be gotta adjust to make it uh singular in my brain all right so then I think we need to okay authorize the update I'm not sure why we need to do that because um we have that auth middleware oh maybe this is so that we can authorize that like a specific user is allowed to make this change so this kind of gives us like the role based authentication stuff out of the box that's cool so validated is again going to be like your request actually this is I can grab this from up here okay and then chirp update the validated stuff and then we're going to return redirect to that index route okay and this is not supposed to be a fat Arrow skinny Arrow all right refresh test two this action is unauthorized okay so how do we do that authorization you may have noticed the validation rules are duplicated in the store method you might consider extracting them using laradel's form request validation makes it easy to reuse huh what is this form requests are custom request classes that encapsulate their own validation and authorization logic so there's a lot of folks in rails that would build these like service models or like poro like plain old Ruby objects that would handle accepting in a bunch of form data and validating it and then saving maybe several different models and so this sounds really familiar to that but it looks like it probably also does some other fancy validation stuff and it lets you keep this bit here that is like creating these validators in a separate object this is more advanced than I'm ready to get into though so I'm going to stick with going through this authorization so by default authorize is going to prevent everyone from being able to update a chirp and we need to specify who is allowed to update it by creating a model policy all right so this is a new thing a model policy I don't have a mental model for this but we're going to just run this so make policy trip policy that's for the chirp model and that is going to create a file again it would be nice if this was printed out to the console so we could see that um all right so what we need to do is go down to the update method and this tells us who can update it and it takes in the user who's attempting to update and the chirp so here we can say we can return a Boolean right yep we need to either return a response or a Boolean and that is going to be um if the users ID is the same as the chirp ID or the chirp user ID then they can update it all right so let's give it a whirl test to ah amazing look at that okay it says edited and it has our new updated text amazing okay to allow deleting of chirps okay back to our routes update delete or destroy and then we're probably going to go back to the front end now we're going to go to our controller and go to our destroy method this delete chart okay so this means that we're probably going to need to go back to that authorization thing where we said that this user could update it and we're going to need to update that again so that it works for delete also okay so let's go to our chirp policy I'm just going to guess this is going to be the same here if we scroll down look at our authorization oh okay so this uses a different pattern I just copy and pasted but now it's just saying like default to the update or like use the update logic instead of that okay that's cool all right now we need to go update our component to add a delete method so we're going to go back to our chirp jsx component and here we're going to add another action drop down DOT link as button I don't know what that means okay this seems like it might be kind of like using button two to quickly create a method that will send a post request or a delete request or whatever so the href is going to the chirps dot destroy route for trip.id and the method is probably destroy delete delete okay so that's going to send I think it's going to send an Ajax request client side to delete it look at that wow okay that's dope all right moving on all right we deleted it cool notifications and events sending email notifications when a trip is created okay all right here we go whoa built-in support for email SMS slack a variety of communication notifications this is like the notice gem is like built in directly into laravel this is so cool uh make notification that's actually like super similar to Chris Oliver's uh notice gem okay so we're going to create a new notification called new chirp and again come on show me the output all right uh it's gonna okay and what is this going to do we need to we're going to say use app models chirp and we need to use illuminate support string I don't know okay it seems like this might be sort of like active support and it's going to give us some string helper methods or something all right so here we need to override the Constructor so that it takes in a chirp we're not going to override or just modify it and we don't actually have to do anything else with it that's weird and then we update the two mail method here all right so it's gonna be a new mail message it's going to be a line oh we're deleting the line and we're deleting the action all right let's just delete everything so we're going to say uh subject is new chirp from this chirp user name when do I have to put parens around this I guess chirp in this case is related to the chirp that we initialize the the new chirp notification with but I don't understand why I don't have to put parens here on this second one is that's like some PHP thing help me with my PHP uh okay and then we want to say greeting I don't know new chirp from what does this greeting do this doesn't make sense come on Ben line is limit okay so this is going to just like truncate or something this chirp message to 50 characters and then action go to Trooper and the URL is for Slash okay and then finally there's another line four thank you for using okay no idea if that's actually going to work okay we could send the notification directly from the store method on our trip controller but that adds more work to the controller which in turn can slow down the request especially as queuing the database instead let's dispatch an event that we can listen for and process in a background queue to keep our application Snappy so we're going to create an event this is another New Concept okay creating an event chirp created creates a trip created event since we're going to be dispatching events for each new chirp update our trip created event to accept the newly created chirp so this is going to take in our public trip and okay that's it and then dispatching the event so from the chirp model use app events chirp created interesting okay so here we're going to say rejected dispatches events so this is almost like an active record callback like when the chirp is first created it emits this chirp created event um and then we have to build a listener all right so the nice thing about this is it sort of decouples the logic from being inside of your model as part of a like in rails if we were to say just use an active record callback for like on created do this thing this is separating it out and it's saying like we're going to define the event in one class and we're going to find the listener in another class and then we're just going to configure the model so that when certain events fire on the model or when certain things happen on the model those publish specific events so that you can listen to them I kind of like that pattern more all right so send trip created notifications is going to be a new listener that's listening for this specific event type okay and um it's going to be okay it goes it's going to be put here all right and all right so we're going to need the user model and the notifications new chirp and this class is going to implement should cue all right so when we are handling the event so for all the users except the one who just tweeted or chirped the funny thing is that Twitter is they have a conference called chirp so even though chirpur is not Twitter it's similar in many ways all right so then we're going to say user for all the users we're going to notify them with this new new chirp notification based on the chirp that's coming in from the event oh interesting okay so this cursor thing is giving us a database cursor instead of loading all the users that's cool okay event service provider this seems like it was something that was given to us by default and we have to come in here and tell it about this new thing so we're going to say use app event sure created foreign so for the chirp created event when the trip created event fires we want to send chirp created notifications that makes sense so we're registering that listener this is how we tie together The Listener to the um event type okay laravel sale includes mail hog integrated email testing tool mail hogs at 80 25. what is this thing this is so cool okay so now it says all right so let's try this out what is this gonna do um let's go to our chirps refresh test again click on chirp oh you know we don't actually have any other users who would have received that so we gotta like go make another user register oh okay so in new trip PHP line 47 new chirp PHP line 47. oh here I'm missing a close curly brace okay I saw that because of this um this first line here gives me this hint and it says it's on line 47 so colon 47 usually that's like I don't know what it means so testing again all right did it actually send an email what No Way new trip from another user a few seconds ago holy moly that is dope okay I love that that is so cool okay deploying your application we're not going to deploy today I don't have to like set up accounts and stuff but um okay very cool awesome this was fun this was cool I feel like I learned a ton there's a bunch inside of laravel that is brought in with uh gems so we learned about Breeze that is sort of equivalent to devise we learned about events and notifications which are sort of like solved by the notice Gem and then some background jobs with active job um lots of really cool stuff with inertia I'm not sure I 100 fully understand how it works but it makes sense that there's these client-side inertia.js methods that you can pull into your react app and then use those providers to interact with forms and then make sure that you're sort of like doing validations and those validations are appearing in those error inputs um so this is pretty cool stuff and pretty fun hopefully that was useful for you especially if you're a rails Dev that's been curious about laravel um and yeah I don't know I've always I'm always like kind of just watching what's going on in the laravel ecosystem and yeah it's similar similar uh I feel similarly about Django so kind of watching what's going on in the Django ecosystem too and um yeah at some point this might actually be more productive for me to use laravel than rails but for today I'm still just way more familiar with rails and so that's what I choose to use but um yeah this is fun so hope you have a great weekend and and we'll see you next time [Music]
