Types of Matchers:

Conventions:

Defining Eloquent model (will assume that DB table named is set as plural of class name and primary key named "id"):

class Shop extends Eloquent {}

Using custom table name

protected $table = 'my_shops';

Date/time pickers :

Capture Signature

Before you post an issue on `laravel/framework`...

Run though this damn checklist... Please!

Search existing issues
Have I run rm bootstrap/compiled.php?
Have I run git pull {laravel remote name} develop?
Have I run rm -rf vendor?
Have I run composer update --no-dev?
Have I tried turning it off and on again :P?

Never Expose DB Results Directly

If you rename a field, then your users are fucked. Convert with a hardcoded array structure.
Most DB drivers [for PHP] will show integers as numeric strings and false as "0", so you want to typecast them.
Unless you're using an ORM with "hidden" functionality, people will see passwords, salts and all sorts of fancy codes. If you add one and forget to put it in your $hidden array then OOPS!

Use the URI sparingly, and correctly

Use the query string for paired params instead of /users/id/5/active/true. Your API does not need to be SEO optimised.
?format=xml is stupid, use an Accept: application/xml header. I added this to the CodeIgniter Rest Server once for lazy people, and now people think it's a thing. It's not.

Mac web developer apps

This gist's comment stream is a collection of webdev apps for OS X. Feel free to add links to apps you like, just make sure you add some context to what it does — either from the creator's website or your own thoughts.
