You need to understand Laravel Service Providers
The blog post provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering Laravel Service Providers. Service Providers are highlighted as the central place for bootstrapping Laravel applications. They function like a blueprint of your application, showing the framework how to produce a service. Service Providers have two methods: `boot()` and `register()`, where initialization logic and service binding occur respectively. Laravel automatically detects and registers service providers located in the `app/Providers` directory, but manual registration can be done in the `config/app.php`. The order of loading service providers can be crucial due to dependencies. The post concludes by emphasizing the vital role of Service Providers as building blocks of a Laravel application.
Mastering Mocking in PHP Unit Tests with Pest for Web Developers
The blog post provides a step-by-step guide on how to use Pest, a PHP testing framework, for mocking in PHP unit tests.
