Laravel validator for CSS selectors

Last week I was building a backend tool in Laravel, where you could create layout in bootstrap 3 and add CSS selectors like id or class to any container. You wanted to be able to enter more than one class name into input field. Let’s say that you want to add 2 classes: col-xs-6 infoBox_4. Laravel hasn’t validator for this type of string, so I decided to make one.

Move Local Git Repository to Bitbucket

We already had our codebase under git repository. I didn’t want to lose the history of commits. We also had some branches, with some dev work on it. Those branches weren’t approved and safe to merge into master branch. I wanted to have all this stuff also on bitbucket. You will see that this process is really easy.

Setting up a Git Repository

Repositories these days are one of the basic stones of any software development. It allows teams of people to work together on one piece of software and allow every team member to see who made what changes, when and why. Repositories basically hold the copy of all changes made to code and also gives you the latest, most recent version. I don’t want to go deeply into why is it good and why we (developers) can’t live without it. Today, I want to show you how you can set up your own git repository in your local company infrastructure.

PHP Modules

Php modules or extensions are pieces of code for PHP, which extends the basic functions and add or improve the existing functions. Some of them are already bundled with PHP and can be easily enabled or disabled. There are also external PHP modules which can be installed to system and then enabled in PHP.
