Hi, I’m Jack! 👋 I’m a software developer and entrepreneur, specialising in Laravel PHP. I’m co-founder and CTO at WorkSmarter, a leading HR tech provider in the UK. Away from work you’ll probably find me at a Phish show 🤘 It’s good to be here!
Awesome 😎 They have a nice API but it’s very open-ended as to what response format comes back, depending on the model you choose, so might need some consideration re Prism’s tasteful DX 👌 I’ll see what I can do when I have some time as well. Cheers!

Great talk TJ! 👏 Prism is the real deal.

Any thoughts on adding more abstracted response formats from providers like Replicate?

I rolled my own implementation but would love to just be able to use a single Laravel package for any generative AI task I can think of… ✨ 🤔

I’ve been using Solo as my daily devtool for Horizon, Pail, Octane, and Vite for about 3 weeks now. It’s really good! Rolled it out to our team as well. Thanks for a great utility 🙏🏻

I was mind-blown to learn this from your stream too! After 15 years of PHP there isn’t much left to surprise me, but this one caught me off guard… Looking forward to never actually using it in reality though 😂

This is a great book! I got a copy for Christmas one year, still like to dip in when things get tough. Highly recommended

It was CodeIgniter 2 for me. Good times… things were simpler back then!

Lots of great handles in here! 👌

I’ll be having a proper play around with it in the next few days. The docs look great too, how are you finding Mintlify? It’s on my radar to use sooner or later as well.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Working on a project with some complex user-customisable icon requirements, this solves a whole bunch of pain points. Nice one 🙌

We use Plausible but I’m tempted by Fathom lately (plus they run their platform on Laravel too)

How strange! Well I’m glad it’s working now 😅 Did you have a DB and session table setup beforehand? That might explain it if not.

Hey Phish friends! Good to be here!

If it’s not coming back in the response, check your session settings as well. A cookie is often sent which includes the token, but if the cookie is cross-origin or there’s some kind of HTTPS issue in dev, that might explain why Axios isn’t picking it up too.
November 15, 2024 at 4:49 PM
Got it… Inertia’s useForm uses Axios behind the scenes. In devtools, can you see an XSRF-TOKEN header being sent in the Ajax request? Axios should include this automatically via Inertia, but if it isn’t, you might need to update axios.defaults.withCredentials. More here: laravel.com/docs/11.x/sa...

How are you submitting the forms? Is this with an HTTP POST request, via Ajax, through a frontend framework, or something else? Also, which session driver are you using? We can solve this! 💪
