Often times comes when you want details related to tax based on the products you currently have anywhere apart from Checkout/Cart page. I’m specifically talking about Magento 2 here. For instance, for one of my projects we’ve a projects page where we use catalog products differently than the Magento’s native way and we needed a way to fetch tax details based on the products we have on that page.

It’s widely known that PHP can’t serialize closures directly. If you try to serialize a closure in PHP, it will result in a fatal error. Take below for example.

If you want to check if the eloquoent model has certain relationship or not and fetch the results accordingly while querying upon it, you can do this by two approaches in the Laravel Eloquent.

When you’re building an Laravel application which uses APIs at some point, it’s no brainer to use Laravel’s resource classes as it provides the transformation layer that sits between your Eloquent models and the JSON responses that are actually returned to your application’s users.

Let’s just admit this. If you’re a developer who works with PHP and you haven’t heard about PHPStrom, you’re assumed to be living in the rocks. Because PHPStrom is the best PHP IDE exist right now IMHO. The tagline on the homepage of it reads as “The lightening-smart IDE for PHP” and it’s really true. It has got all the features you’d need in order to become a fluent PHP programmer.
