⚡ Corepine Modal gives Laravel developers control over how every modal is presented.

Change a default modal into a flyout drawer or draggable bottom sheet by changing one type setting in your modal attributes.
Use it with Livewire stack modals or standalone Blade modals, and choose the UI that fits each interaction.

Laravel devs using PostgreSQL, Laravel 13.23 adds support for PostgreSQL's USING clause in migrations. 👀

Why is this useful?

PostgreSQL requires a USING clause to describe how existing values should be converted.

Laravel now supports this directly with ->using().
