Laravel Run One Time Operations After Deployment With PHP

You can utilize the One Time Activities bundle for Laravel to run code that ought to just pursue once arrangement. With this bundle, you can make activity classes that can be executed consequently utilizing a gave Craftsman order. Like movements, they just get handled once and afterward at no point ever run in the future.

When you generate classes using this package's operations:make command, they use anonymous classes extending the OneTimeOperation class:

use TimoKoerber\LaravelOneTimeOperations\OneTimeOperation;
 
return new class extends OneTimeOperation
{
    /**
     * Determine if the operation is being processed asyncronously.
     */
    protected bool $async = true;
 
    /**
     * Process the operation.
     */
    public function process(): void
    {
        //
    }
};

Using this package, you could update specific data after deploying new code, seed data after a migration, or run any type of code that you only need to execute once in tandem with a deployment. This package also provides the ability to test operations (run them multiple times without flagging them).

A Collection of ISO standards as PHP Enums

 The PrinsFrank/standards package is a collection of standards as PHP Enums, such as ISO3166, ISO4217, ISO639, and more. Specifically, this package includes support for common language ISO codes, country codes, and currencies.

For example, ISO 3166 deals with country code standards, such as two-letter country codes, three letter cords, and alpha-numeric codes:

// ISO3166_1_Alpha_2::Netherlands
$valueAlpha2 = ISO3166_1_Alpha_2::from('NL');
$valueAlpha2->value; // 'NL'
$valueAlpha2->name; // 'Netherlands'
 
// ISO3166_1_Alpha_3::Netherlands
$valueAlpha2->toISO3166_1_Alpha_3();
// ISO3166_1_Numeric::Netherlands
$valueAlpha2->toISO3166_1_Numeric();
 
// Alpha-3
// ISO3166_1_Alpha_3::Netherlands
$valueAlpha3 = ISO3166_1_Alpha_3::from('NLD');
$valueAlpha3->value; // 'NLD'
$valueAlpha3->name; // 'Netherlands'
 
// Numeric
// ISO3166_1_Numeric::Netherlands
ISO3166_1_Numeric::from('528');
ISO3166_1_Numeric::fromInt(528);
 
$valueNumeric->value; // '528'
$valueNumeric->name; // 'Netherlands'

This package also includes support for ISO 4217 currency codes:

// Alpha-3
// ISO4217_Alpha3::Euro
$valueAlpha3 = ISO4217_Alpha3::from('EUR');
$valueAlpha3->value; // 'EUR'
$valueAlpha3->name; // 'Euro'
 
// Numeric
// ISO4217_Numeric::Euro
$valueNumeric = ISO4217_Numeric::from('978');
$valueNumeric = ISO4217_Numeric::fromInt(978);
$valueNumeric->value; // '978'
$valueNumeric->name; // 'Euro'

Language support (ISO 639) is another helpful standard enum this package provides:

// ISO639_1_Alpha_2::Dutch_Flemish
$valueAlpha2 = ISO639_1_Alpha_2::from('nl');
$valueAlpha2->value; // 'nl'
$valueAlpha2->name; // 'Dutch_Flemish'

Enums are supported in PHP as of PHP 8.1. Laravel also includes Enum features such as casting Eloquent attributes to PHP "backed" enums and implicit enum route binding that you might want to check out if you're new to Enums.

You can learn about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.
