The Pest docs are great so I would start there. Spatie also has a good course that covers testing with Pest: spatie.be/products/testing-laravel

Just saved the thread to Readwise and will read soon, thanks!

I wrote a post about using a DTO to keep your JSON columns structured in #laravel. Learn about how to cast a JSON column in an Eloquent model to a DTO.

I plan to build my own at some point, but right now I’ve been using Hashnode which has been good. I might still use it in headless mode when I build my own.

Some examples:

    /**
     * @param  MyObject[]  myArray
     */
    public function withArray(array $myArray)
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * @param  MyObject[]  myArray
     */
    public function withIterable(iterable $myIterable)
    {
        // Using iterable will support both arrays or Laravel collections.
        // However, you may need to use the spread operator to convert 
        // back to array if needed.
        $array = [...$myIterable];
    }

    /**
     * @param  Collection<MyObject>  myArray
     */
    public function withIterable(Collection $myCollection)
    {
        // This gives all the power of collections which is great,
        // however, it requires Laravel collections so not as useful
        // outside a Laravel application.
    }
