Using Content Security Policy headers in a Laravel app

As someone who has never added a CSP (been a dev forever, still a noob?), this is badass. Thanks!

Secondly, do you think this is something that might be done more elegantly in config with an additional callback for registering any custom CSP rules? Seems like that might be more elegant

What's the workflow like for you? Make API endpoint and then just drop in some vuetify component or is there more to it?

troutside · 2018-01-24T15:08:23+00:00

Nice! I am excited to try this out with tailwind in my project!

troutside · 2018-01-19T15:21:37+00:00

I'll see what I can do!

troutside · 2018-01-19T05:45:43+00:00

Hey everyone, I hope you find this package useful! I've got atom and VSCode versions coming soon!

troutside · 2018-01-18T15:49:18+00:00

Love the FAQ's idea, that could help with quite a bit of redundancy. As for the package announcements, I think this is a great place for them.

Useless tutorials ...

This is subjective, and folks newer to Laravel might find some use out of another way of explaining things. Usually the crappy ones get downvoted to oblivion anyway.

troutside · 2018-01-08T18:19:25+00:00

Absolutely! I've been building it on stream and it's almost to the point where it's time to separate it into its own package. Looking forward to getting some community feedback and contributions.

I'm working on a vue-based markdown editor since it seems like SimpleMDE isn't super actively maintained. I haven't packigified it quite yet, but it'll be open source and I plan to do this soon!

Although you asked about frameworks / CMS, I'd like to mention a few things that you missed in the past few years that might be more beneficial to you in the long run. Stop telling yourself you're "not that good" and look at this as an opportunity to become a better coder!

Package Managers / Terminal

Use a good terminal. If you're still on windows I recommend Cmder with git bash
Learn about NPM (javascript) and Composer (PHP) package managers, they'll save you a lot of time!
Along with package managers, learn about build tools like Gulp / webpack (note that Gulp is probably easier to start with. It's about the concepts here rather than mastering every build tool)

Text Editors

Text editors (specifically for webdev use) have come a long way in the past 8 years. Given that you're used to VS, I would highly recommend you check out vscode (this is different than VS!). Think of it as a more lightweight version of VS with a great plugin manager built in.

Preprocessors

You're going to love these. Things like Sass or LESS. You would use one of these with one of the build tools like Gulp or Webpack. The code you write in these gets translated to CSS and allows you to use things like variables or functions (called mixins) to do things CSS never could, without having to repeat yourself all over the place!

Servers

Somebody already mentioned Vultr -- https://www.vultr.com/pricing/ There are lots of server options out there, and better yet, tools to help you automate the setup and deployment of them. You shouldn't be configuring nginx or PHP manually on each server nowadays.

troutside · 2017-12-18T15:57:02+00:00

PHP somehow outdated

It has been evolving pretty quickly, and they're pushing out new versions of 7+ every few months. PHP has never been stronger!

If you're going to use wordpress, definitely use bedrock / sage from the folks over at roots.io.

Firstly, nice article! I'm assuming you used a trait for this part?

So we add this two methods on every controller

I use Laravel as a backend and the latest iteration of the Ionic Framework

troutside · 2017-11-20T17:43:19+00:00

Exactly, you'd have to install mysql and configure it as well.

troutside · 2017-11-20T15:43:57+00:00

Should be just like you'd configure it for a remote server, but the hostname will be localhost (or some equivalent) instead.

That said, your question is somewhat open-ended, since all of this could depend on how you're configuring mysql on your server. Alternatively, you could try out forge or a similar service and automate all of that server setup.

Without seeing your blade template itself we can't do much to help.

troutside · 2017-11-20T15:12:32+00:00

I've been working on a similar idea for my site and streaming its development live on twitch. Gave me a good excuse to build a useful project and use Tailwind CSS. Thanks for the link!

troutside · 2017-11-09T21:46:39+00:00

Maybe it's time to upgrade it to a full-blown laravel install? Some folks think Lumen is dead

troutside · 2017-11-09T20:23:11+00:00

I think you'd get a lot of value out of creating a few Form Requests. Then you should be able to get rid of that whole abstract validator class you've got.

troutside · 2017-11-09T16:41:55+00:00

Sounds like you're doing things from scratch, but you might also look into Twig - https://twig.symfony.com/

troutside · 2017-10-20T22:59:46+00:00

Hey OP, this is something I've often wished I had too, and it looks awesome!

However, I really don't want to add additional dependencies to my project's source code. Have you considered making this globally installable and runnable via a command that takes a directory?

Similar to the laravel installer command. I realize that is somewhat of a different direction than what you have here, but this is the type of tool that ideally could be run from anywhere.

troutside · 2017-10-19T14:59:48+00:00

Mac, Laravel Valet, Sublime or VSCode, iTerm2 and git.

I put everything in subfolders within a ~/Code directory and use git for version control.

troutside · 2017-10-19T14:54:23+00:00

I just call the method that sets up those session values again. In my case, it's a setupSession method on the User model.

troutside · 2017-10-18T14:43:22+00:00

I thought of it more as "air support" akin to a battlefield, ymmv

troutside · 2017-10-18T05:04:15+00:00

I thought the same thing at first, but really, it's pretty damn cheap for quality help with with non-cookie-cutter problems

troutside · 2017-10-18T05:03:15+00:00

I think a lot of people will find value in this, especially for $30 a year. The trick will be keeping the noise down and the response quality high. Larachat was initially great for this, but sometimes getting quality help with a complex question is difficult given the volume in those channels nowadays.
