Laravel helpers

Some helpers for Laravel projects.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require beholdr/laravel-helpers

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="helpers-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'http_client_log' => env('HTTP_CLIENT_LOG_ENABLED', true),
    'http_client_log_limit' => env('HTTP_CLIENT_LOG_LIMIT', 1024),
];

Usage

Redirect middleware

Simple redirect middleware.

Add an alias in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->alias([
            // other middleware aliases...
            'redirect' => \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\Redirect::class,
        ]);

Example of usage in Folio page:

<?php

use function Laravel\Folio\middleware;

// redirect by route name
middleware(['redirect:route.cards.unistream']);

// OR redirect by URL
middleware(['redirect:/']);

?>

RedirectUnlessConfig middleware

If the configuration does not contain a given key, redirect to the specified URL or route. Useful for disabling a page without a corresponding feature flag.

Add an alias in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->alias([
            // other middleware aliases...
            'redirectUnlessConfig' => \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\RedirectUnlessConfig::class,
        ]);

Example of usage in Folio page:

<?php

use function Laravel\Folio\middleware;

// redirect by route name if `custom.features.feature_xxx_enabled` not set
middleware(['redirectUnlessConfig:custom.features.feature_xxx_enabled,route.cards.unistream']);

// OR redirect by URL if `custom.features.feature_xxx_enabled` not set
middleware(['redirectUnlessConfig:custom.features.feature_xxx_enabled,/']);

?>

PermanentRedirects middleware

Replaces all 302 redirects with 301 (for SEO purposes).

Add in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->web(append: [
            \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\PermanentRedirects::class,
        ]);

RemoveIndex middleware

Removes trailing /index from URLs, making a redirect /url/index → /url. Useful for folio pages.

Add in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->web(append: [
            \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\RemoveIndex::class,
        ]);

IgnoreEmbeddableCsrfToken middleware

Ignores CSRF tokens validation for embedded Livewire components, like when you need to load component in iframe.

First, add Embeddable attribute to a component class:

use Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Attributes\Embeddable;

#[Embeddable]
class Calculator extends Component {}

Then add in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->web(replace: [
            \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\ValidateCsrfToken::class => \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\IgnoreEmbeddableCsrfToken::class,
        ]);

RemoveTrailingSlash middleware

Removes trailing slashes from URLs, making a redirect /some/url/ → /some/url. Also removes duplicate slashes inside URLs like: ///some///url → /some/url.

Add in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->web(append: [
            \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\RemoveTrailingSlash::class,
        ]);

SimpleAuth middleware

Simple basic auth middleware with given credentials for a route or folio page.

Add alias in bootstrap/app.php:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->alias([
            'simpleAuth' => \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Middleware\SimpleAuth::class,
        ]);

Then add at the folio page:

<?php
use function Laravel\Folio\middleware;

middleware('simpleAuth:username,passw0rd');
?>

FromUrl attribute for Livewire

When you need to load initial value of the Livewire property from the URL, but do not need to update URL on property change:

use Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Attributes\FromUrl;

class Calculator extends Component
{
    #[FromUrl]
    public $country;
}

UtmFields enum

Enum UtmFields is used for processing UTM analytics tags.

To get an array of UTM parameters, exluding all other query variables:

use Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Enums\UtmFields;

UtmFields::fromQuery(request()->getQueryString()); // ['utm_content' => '...', 'utm_source' => '...']

HttpClient logger

Automatically logs all HttpClient requests: both success and failure.

Turned on by default, can be disabled by HTTP_CLIENT_LOG_ENABLED variable or with http_client_log config option.

Also you can set limit for truncation of the request/response body with HTTP_CLIENT_LOG_LIMIT variable or with http_client_log_limit config option.

Telegram log channel

Custom log channel TelegramLogChannel sending alert to your telegram bot upon a log event with a defined level.

Add in your config/logging.php:

'channels' => [
    // other channels...
    'telegram' => [
        'driver' => 'custom',
        'via' => \Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Logging\TelegramLogChannel::class,
        'token' => env('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'),
        'channel' => env('TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID'),
        'level' => env('TELEGRAM_LOG_LEVEL', \Monolog\Level::Error),
        'deduplication_time' => 300, // 5 minutes
    ],
]

And then define in your .env:

LOG_STACK=daily,telegram

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=#####
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=#####

Where TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID contains credentials for your telegram bot and channel ID.

AppException

Universal exception class Beholdr\LaravelHelpers\Exceptions\AppException to wrap other exceptions and forward to a client.

Can define HTTP statusCode (500 by default) and disable reporting in logs.
