Introduction

Obsidian is a note-taking application suitable for creating a knowledge base for web application developers. Obsidian, especially when using many plugins, creates a very effective environment for writing, collecting, and searching for notes. If we want to publish these notes on a web blog, we need to solve the bridging between Obsidian and Laravel. One of the forms is to create a suitable export from Obsidian and solve the import into the resulting form when creating posts in...

Introduction

Laravel already gives for web project several command surfaces: Artisan, Composer scripts, npm scripts, and even a small admin-facing interface for a restricted set of Artisan commands. So the obvious question is why this repository still keeps a top-level Makefile.

Bad:

public function getFullNameAttribute(): string

    if (auth()->user() && auth()->user()->hasRole('client') && auth()->user()->isVerified()) {
        return 'Mr. ' . $this->first_name . ' ' . $this->middle_name . ' ' . $this->last_name;
    } else {
        return $this->first_name[0] . '. '...

It needs successful collaboration of different parts:
* WSL2
* Docker desktop
* Docker images creation and usage
* Docker compose for creation/run containers
* Setup for Phpstorm
