Whoops! This broke caching your config. Instead you need to load the extensions with a service provider. If you only want the default Storyblok extension then skip this step and the package will handle it for you.

I guess I’ll wait until their team remembers to test before deployment then...
It’s still less annoying than dealing with the AI powered support though, things only started progressing when I coaxed a human into helping.

This is great if you want to introduce a field to lots of blocks. For example, I have a custom plugin to manage responsive padding, I can make a JSON file (or export a Block already using it), then merge that field into all the Blocks that need it.

I just updated my @storyblok.com Laravel CLI to introduce merging component fields. The way it works is you create a JSON file of just the new/updated fields you want and run the command specifying the Block to update.
artisan ls:merge-component block_name changes.json
artisan ls:merge-component block_name changes.json

I enjoy nothing more than animating SVGs. Give each character its own length timeline and you avoid everything looping at the same rate. Makes recording a looped video for sharing impossible though!

Want to save your SVGs in @storyblok.com’s asset manager but still want to be able to inline or manipulate them. Using my @laravel.com package, create a Field class and use file_get_contents() to load the content. Now you can style with CSS, animate, or whatever you wish!

Did you know you can check which components a blocks fieldtype contains in Laravel Storyblok?
Here I have a page, I get the ‘block()’ for the content type, then check if the ‘blocks’ field contains a ‘form’ component as a child.

Loved this when I got it Christmas day 1995! It was a 4X game with no numbers which is an impressive design choice, and it worked.

I missed this the other day, but my open-source @laravel.com package for @storyblok.com crossed 50,000 downloads. It’s amazing to think the package I created is being used by teams around the world to bring their websites to life!

I have added a new denylist feature to Laravel Storyblok 2.40.0 making it easy to list URLs that should not hit the Storyblok API.
Just create an array of strings or regex in the config. It should help you be kinder to the @storyblok.com API!

I'm keen to give Xyris a go to see how easy it will be to make animations like this one which relies on a JS library. Looks like Xyris uses SMIL so it'll be more portable and simple to drop into websites.
