Helper classes and functions for Laravel.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the Composer package to your project using the following command:

```
composer require osmianski/laravel-helper
```

Usage
-----

Never forget unimplemented parts
--------------------------------

[](#never-forget-unimplemented-parts)

Have you even forgotten to return to a comment like this one?

```
function foo(?Bar $bar): void {
    // TODO: handle nulls
    ...
}

```

Previously, I had those, too.

Not anymore.

I found that throwing the [`NotImplemented`](src/Exceptions/NotImplemented.php) exception instead of a mere comment makes you to pay off this bit of technical debt right away:

```
use Osmianski\Helper\Exceptions\NotImplemented;
...

function foo(?Bar $bar): void {
    if (!$bar) {
        throw new NotImplemented();
    }

    ...
}

```

Only recently, I have found a really nice feature in PhpStorm called *Exception Breakpoints*. The idea is that whenever a specified exception is thrown, the debugger stops at the line that throws the exception.

And it's a perfect match for the `NotImplemented` exception. After configuring it, the debugger stops anytime when the execution hits a feature, or a special case, that is not implemented yet.

Configure it in `Run -> View Breakpoints` by pressing `+ -> PHP Exception Breakpoints`, entering the full exception class name, and pressing OK:
