Inspired from Github Repo / Reddit, this will be a listing what I learned if it's short I will be listing it here but if it's long I'll make it a post.

Laravel

Voyager

Overwriting certain piece of function

Go to vendor file and copy the exact same file from the same directory, if its controller then copy the controller then put it in your controller if model then do the same.
Don't forget to change the namespace and extend it to \TCG\Voyager\Http\Controllers\Controller then in route copy the same specific route then modify the url.

Default Folder and Permission Laravel 

cd [..LARAVEL PROJECT ROOT]
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo chmod -R 777 ./storage
sudo chmod -R 777 ./bootstrap/cache/

Difference between Job and Event

Job

A Job is doing something.

  • RegisterUser
  • UpdateProfile
  • PublishArticle
  • SendReminderEmail

Event

An Event occurs when something happens/happened.

You can think of it as an Event occurs throughout different stages of a Job. In this case, and in most cases, an Event is defined in the past tense.

  • UserHasRegistered
  • ProfileWasUpdated
  • ArticleWasPublished
  • RemiderEmailWasSent

Learn that can't use mutators and accessors when using mass assignment

Example of mass assignment:

$user = new User(Input::all());
$user->save();

Example of not mass assignment:

$user = new User();
$user->name = 'steve';
$user->email = '[email protected]';
$user->password = Hash::make('123');
$user->save();

when using mass assignment, then you can't use mutators and accessors

/** ACCESSOR
     * Get the post title.
     *
     * @param  string  $value
     * @return string
     */
    public function getNameAttribute($value)
    {
        return ucfirst($value);
    }
     
    /** MUTATOR
     * Set the post title.
     *
     * @param  string  $value
     * @return string
     */
    public function setNameAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['name'] = strtolower($value);
    }

To show error in test

$this->withoutExceptionHandling()

Laravel Policy

php artisan make:policy PostPolicy --model=Post

in AuthServiceProvider

protected $policies = [
	Post::class => PostPolicy::class,
];

in PostPolicy

public function update(User $user, Post $post)
{
	if (Auth::user()->hasRole('admin')) {
		return true;
	}
	return $user->id === $post-> user_id;
}

implement in controller

$post = Post::find($id);
$this->authorize('update', $post);

Laravel 8

laravel 8 class controller not found

App/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php

protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';

Postman

The GET method is not supported for this route - All method is always either GET or POST, Update in file - settings

Rails

ActiveAdmin

Add Custom filter with custom select2

ActiveAdmin comes with default filter with all fields in it but sometimes I need to custom it a bit and when it comes to larger database and need to find the specific filter I need some custom select2 to populate and when searching through dropdown it will find the keyword. this comes with a cost of slowness when it comes to larger database so becareful.

In the Model

filter :campaign_id, as: :searchable_select, collection: -> { Campaign.pluck(:name, :id) }

Don't forget to install this gem for select2

gem 'activeadmin-searchable_select'

NGINX

Add Trailing Slash

I've found out there's 2 way to do this, the first one is to add in the server block section and somehow it works, but there are times when there's a blog on the public block which will messup the blog (wordpress), The other way is to put in the \.php$ block, I've seen it work but when it doesn't work try the solution 2.

Solution 1:

rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;

Solution 2:

location ~ ^([^.\?]*[^/])$ {
   try_files                 $uri @addslash;
}

location @addslash {
   return                    301 $uri/;
}

Removing Trailing Slash

I learned that in try_files has a role on redirecting too so in below if the second $uri is $uri/ that means you want to redirect that to trailing slash.

location / {
                rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
                try_files $uri $uri /index.php?$query_string;
        }

Nuxt Nginx Config

Was new to this, then I found out how to serve the server that points to localhost:3000

location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        }

http {
. . .
gzip_static on;
gzip_http_version 1.1;

    strip on;
}

location / {
etag on;

Schema Org

I never knew what breadcrump for until I saw the documentation and understood a bit about schema. What I learned was every page need an organization, SiteNavigationElement and BreadCrumpList schema.

Rendering Smartphone

Sometimes we just put css/style.css or js/script.js, to remind myself this need to be fullpath with the domain so the bot crawler see what user see. To test this just copy paste your html to html generator what does it looks like.

Android

MYSQL

Incorrect string value: '\xC2\x80\xC2\x9355

ALTER TABLE
    table_name
    CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4
    COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Export mysql using gzip

mysqldump -u root -p databasename | gzip -9 > database.sql.gz

Import mysql using zcat

I thought this would be using mysqldump too but nope...

zcat database.sql.gz | mysql -u username -p databasename

Unknown collation: ‘utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci’

sed -i 's/utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci/utf8mb4_unicode_ci/g' file.sql

Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist

sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/lib/mysql

can't login to workbench because need sudo

create a user

CREATE USER 'madindo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'madindo123';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'madindo'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Downgrade from mysql 8 to 5.5 in ubuntu 20.04

Say no more, I've tried many ways and failed but the last one worked out.

# backup
mysqldump -u root -p --add-drop-table --routines --events --all-databases --force > mysql80.sql

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-\* -y
sudo apt-get autoremove -y

wget http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
configure to bionic and mysql5.7
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install -f mysql-client=5.7.32-1ubuntu18.04
sudo apt install -f mysql-community-server=5.7.32-1ubuntu18.04

sudo apt install -f mysql-client=5.7.32-1ubuntu18.04 mysql-community-server=5.7.32-1ubuntu18.04 mysql-server=5.7.32-1ubuntu18.04

The steps above failed, I think I was close but failed at install mysql-community-server, but below doesn't fail me

Redirecting the right way using Page Rule

if matches url always use * because if you don't add it it will only match the domain url not the path.

https://www.domain.com/*

when using 301 permanent redirect use $1 to pass the asterisk

https://www.domain.com/$1

    }
  }
})

then add to plugins

plugins: [
    '~/plugins/script',
  ],
