Refuse attributes a model will throw away
Catch a typo in a fillable list during development, before the column quietly stays null.
Snippets
Paste-ready Laravel you can drop into a service provider, a job, or a test. Each one is short enough to read in a minute, and written for the code you already ship.
Name the interesting states
A factory state keeps a void invoice readable in the test, instead of a pile of overrides.
Stop the same job running twice
WithoutOverlapping holds a lock for one model so a double dispatch waits its turn.
Catch N+1 queries before your users do
Turn lazy loading into an exception outside production, so missing eager loads fail loudly in development and tests.
Listen to one request’s queries
Drop this in a local route while you hunt an unexpected query.
Scope a child route to its parent
A line URL only resolves when that line belongs to the invoice.
