And, after yesterday’s Webmention package, a basic IndieAuth package for Laravel.

Been toying with Laravel a bit more. Decided to split off some Webmention functionality into a package of its own, https://github.com/janboddez/laravel-webmention. There’s two classes here that matter, one for receiving (Http\Controllers\WebmentionController), and one for sending (WebmentionSender). Hoping to add a parser of sorts later, and some CLI/Artisan commands.

Added “unread counts” to my RSS reader’s Microsub implementation. Fun fact: the reader itself—the new one—doesn’t display them. But Microsub clients will. Some (not very) creative use of Laravel’s hasManyThrough, withCount, and $casts array is all it took!

A Laravel pseudo-daemon “will instruct Laravel to try to run [a] command every minute, to place it in the background, and to not start another one until the first one is finished.”

Laravel handles that whole part for us, out of the box, for free.

My site uses Corcel, a sort of translation layer between WordPress’s database and Laraval’s Eloquent ORM. I’ve got WordPress living on a separate domain, and a symlink to its uploads folder in my Laravel app’s public folder. Accessors help me filter image tags, and the few shortcodes actually in use behave like they would in a pure WordPress environment, while my Blade-powered front end is 100% under my control. I like that; some of the markup WordPress produces is a bit of a mess.
