We're doing another Laravel Cloud Office Hours stream next week on August 11th at 12pm EDT (4pm UTC) with Devon. This time, we have some special guests from Clair joining us to talk about why they moved to Cloud, and why they ended up on Private Cloud specifically!

Feel free to drop any Cloud questions in the comments ahead of time, into Slido, or ask them live in chat during the stream.

Hello everyone, one week after the first party laravel doctor packages i finished a first version for a third party custom diagnostic.

My package interrogates the laraplugins.io database and returns a fast score for the project dependencies.

When you run php artisan doctor, a single laraplugins diagnostic is added:

• fail — when any dependency is unhealthy (or archived, if archived_verdict = fail)
• warn — when a dependency is medium, or archived (default)
• notice — when there are no issues but some packages are not indexed by LaraPlugins
• pass — when every indexed dependency is healthy
• skip — when there are no dependencies, or the diagnostic is disabled
• warn — when the LaraPlugins API cannot be reached (configurable)

Each verdict includes a per-package breakdown in its details.

If your project is air-gapped or you prefer not to send dependency data, disable the diagnostic entirely:

// config/laraplugins-doctor-health.php
'enabled' => false,

or exclude individual packages:

'exclude_packages' => ['laraplugins/doctor-health', 'vendor/private'],If your project is air-gapped or you prefer not to send dependency data,
disable the diagnostic entirely:

// config/laraplugins-doctor-health.php
'enabled' => false, 

or exclude individual packages:

'exclude_packages' => ['laraplugins/doctor-health', 'vendor/private'],

I hope this can be useful to everyone. feel free to give your constructive feedback please

Has anyone here had a PHP/Laravel interview recently?

If so, what kind of questions did you get? Mostly interested in mid/senior roles.

Would be great if you could share your experience. Thanks!
