I'll no longer be active on Mastodon, but I'll still post on other networks!

I did an awful lot of work on the Inertia Form this week, but I didn't manage to post anything here. It's coming along nicely, and I've got some big news coming up, but more on that later! 👀

Also, in case you missed it, last week the Laracasts course I recorded went live! 📺

Put a lot of time into the Datepicker this week! 📅

It’s not just a 3rd party library. I’ve mixed and matched features I like from different ones, added a bunch of custom code, and made it super configurable.

No fussing with anatomy, no need to manually wire up components, etc. Just works 👌

The "Crafting Vue Modals" course is now live on Laracasts! 🚀

This was so much fun to record, and I'm happy it covers many topics. Not just the VILT stack but also Dusk E2E testing and a deep dive into Inertia.js + Laravel's Routing. Check it out! ⬇️

Already posted this in the private Table repo, but after the launch of Inertia Form, I'll migrate the Modal and Table package to Tailwind v4 and TypeScript.

I'll also reuse some elements from the Form package, like the date picker, now based on Reka UI (fascinating library!)

Ever tried to debug an element in your web inspector that closes when you click away? 😩

This little checkbox, “Emulate a focused page”, lets you inspect dropdowns, popovers, etc. with ease 🧘

Ever needed to stack two HTML elements on top of each other? 🤔

You might reach for absolute positioning, but today I learned you can do it with CSS Grid too! Just place both elements in the same grid cell ⬇️
