ADVICE

Fluent Email Validation

  • Use fluent email validation rules in Laravel 11.38 for a better experience.
  • Chain rules like rule email->strict->DNS instead of comma-separated values.
ADVICE

Array Casting

  • Use the array method to cast form request or fluent instance values into arrays.
  • This simplifies passing arrays to arguments or handling optional array parameters.
ADVICE

Pipeline Cleanup

  • Utilize the 'finally' method in pipelines for cleanup tasks.
  • Execute callbacks regardless of the pipeline's outcome for better resource management.
