Check if a Laravel request is from the CLI on Laravelnote

 There might be times where you need to know if a request to your Laravel app is coming from the CLI or from the web. As an example, I wanted to turn on the query log to dump out all the SQL queries.

In AppServiceProvider I added a simple config check to turn on the the log:

if (config('settings.profile')) {
    \DB::connection()->enableQueryLog();
}

With this in place, it would run for web requests, as I wanted, but the side effect is it would also be turned on in our queue jobs and other CLI tasks.

Laravel provides a simple helper called runningInConsole that you can use to help determine what environment you are in.

app()->runningInConsole()

With this I could just an inverse check to make sure my code only runs when it's a web request:

if (config('settings.profile') && ! app()->runningInConsole()) {
	\DB::connection()->enableQueryLog();
}

If you ever come to a situation where you need to know where your app is running, keep this in mind. It's an excellent way of utilizing the internal Laravel helpers to keep your code clean and easy to read.

Laravel8 in Serializes Models trait | laravelnote

This article was originally posted, with additional formatting, on my personal blog at laravel serializes model Background  When dispatching an object onto the queue, behind the scenes Laravel is recursively serializing the object and all of its properties into a string representation that is then written to the queue. There it awaits a queue worker to retrieve it from the queue and unserialize it back into a PHP object (Phew!). Problem When complicated objects are serialized, their string representations can be atrociously long, taking up unnecessary resources both on the queue and application servers. Solution Because of this, Laravel offers a trait called SerializesModels which, when added to an object, finds any properties of type Model or Eloquent\Collection during serialization and replaces them with a plain-old-PHP-object (POPO) known as a ModelIdentifier. These identifier objects represent the original properties Model type and ID, or IDs in the case of an Eloquent\Collecti...
