Sitting in @fideloper's presentation on server admin grok-ing stuff that the server admin at a prev job told me I wouldn't get. #laracon

**Note:** Chris actually smashed a spider on stage. Call that **Live debugging**! ## Taylor Otwell Laravel 5.3 Overview **[Taylor Otwell](https://twitter.com/taylorotwell)** actually closed Day 1 talks with some pretty impressive announcements about new features coming to Laravel 5.3 and four major open source projects that will scale up the development time of any Laravel developer. I'll cover these new features a bit here. ### Laravel Scout Laravel Scout is an optional drop-in package that offers full-text search for Eloquent Models. It ships with Algolia and offers a driver-based system so that anyone can actually integrate other full-text search systems. With Scout, after adding the `ScoutServiceProvider`, you'll be able to add a `Searchable` trait to your model and do something like so: ```php Post::search('Prosper')->get(); // normal search Post::search('Prosper')->paginate(20); // pagination option is also available Post::search('Prosper')->where('category_id', 2)->get(); // inclusion of simple where clauses too ``` ```php Post::all()->searchable(); User::posts()->searchable(); ``` ### Laravel Passport Laravel Passport literally blew my mind. Creating an OAuth2 Server can really be daunting. There are a few PHP packages out there that you can use, but they still involve a lot of work for the developer. Laravel Passport is an optional drop-in package that allows you to create an OAuth2 Server in about five minutes. With Laravel Passport, you can get personal access tokens for users right from an Artisan command. It ships with Vue components for token generation, revocation, and a robust API authentication out of the box. You can easily set scopes by just enabling the scope middleware. Want a single API for both mobile and internal web app calls? Laravel Passport will take care of it via [JWT](https://jwt.io) tokens.As a 20+ year SysAdmin, I can say that @fideloper is doing a fantastic job talking about all these server things in his talk at #Laracon.

### Laravel Notifications Laravel Notifications allow you to send quick updates to your users via services like SMS, email and Slack. In your Notification class, you have a `via` and `message` method like so: ```php ..... public function via($notifiable) { return ['mail', 'slack', 'sms']; // notification drivers } public function message() { // If it's a notification success message, here you go $this->line('You can now use webtask.io for your serverless apps') ->action('Button Text', 'http://auth0.com') ->line('Please check it out!') ->success() // If it's a notification error message, here you go $this->line('We had a problem with your intro mail') ->action('Button Text', 'http://support.com') ->error() } ``` Notifications also come with a responsive email template that detects email type (info, success, error) out of the box! ### Laravel Mailable In Laravel 5.3, there's a less busy way to send emails. You can now send emails like so: ```php // To one address Mail::to($user)->send(new EmailClass($someParameter)); // To multiple addresses & queueing at the same time! Mail::to('prosper@example.com')->cc('johndoe@example.com')->queue(new OrderComplete); ```I've been more excited this year about things coming out of @LaraconUS than of Apple's WWDC... Excellent work @taylorotwell

Other notable things Taylor mentioned are as follows: * Single route file getting split into web.php and api.php in Laravel 5.3, * Elixir 6.0 ships with Laravel 5.3. Supports rollup and webpack by default. * Timeouts in queue worker will not make it frozen. Instead, it will *let it go* and keep processing the next * Auth scaffolding moved from inline script/css with CDNs to a compiled js/css file * Queueing greatly improved in Laravel 5.3 * Laravel 5.3 sets you up with boilerplate to work with Vue.js straight out of the box * Laravel 5.3 packages will be able to register migrations to run with no work from the package user.
