Laravel Blade Country and Language Icons

 Laravel Blade Flags is a package to easily display countries & languages flags in your Laravel Blade views. When you have a project needing to display various country flags, you might hunt for SVG icons or JS components. This package has your back if you are using Blade as you can render flags as components or use the provided SVGs:

<x-flag-country-br />
<x-flag-country-cn />
<x-flag-country-gb />
<x-flag-country-ru />
<x-flag-country-us />

The above blade components would render something like this:

For styling, you can also provide a class attribute:

<x-flag-country-us class="w-6 h-6"/>

You can also publish the SVGs that ship with this package using the asset helper:

<img src="{{ asset('vendor/blade-flags/country-us.svg') }}" width="32" height="32"/>

This project uses the excellent Blade UI Kit, a set of renderless components to utilize in your Laravel Blade views. If you're interested in using this package and seeing how it utilizes Blade UI Kit, check it out on GitHub.

Laravel Waterline: UI for Workflows

 Laravel Waterline is an elegant UI for monitoring Laravel Workflows. The UI is used in tandem with the laravel-workflow package, which provides a durable workflow engine that allows users to write long-running persistent distributed workflows (orchestrations) in PHP powered by Laravel Queues.

While the laravel-workflow repo contains the nuts and bolts of creating workflows, Waterline is a place you can manage and monitor them via UI:

This package provides an authorization gate that you can customize to protect the workflows UI.

While Waterline will help you with the workflows package, I'd recommend learning more about using the laravel-workflows package:

• Invalidating Cloud Images in Laravel with Workflows
• Converting Videos with FFmpeg and Laravel Workflow
• Email Verifications Using Laravel Workflow

You can learn more about Waterline by viewing the waterline repo on GitHub. I would also recommend getting familiar with the laravel-workflow package that powers the workflows you'll write with these packages.

OpenAI for Laravel

 Back in October, Nuno Maduro released an OpenAI PHP Client and this week he announced a brand Laravel integration called OpenAPI Laravel.

On Twitter Nuno said, "OpenAI PHP for Laravel is a supercharged PHP API client that allows you to interact with the Open AI API, with this integration, developers can now easily use OpenAI's powerful natural language processing capabilities in their Laravel applications."

Getting started with the package is pretty straightforward and you can see the guide here:

First, install OpenAI:

composer require openai-php/laravel

Next, publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OpenAI\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

This will create a config/openai.php configuration file in your project, which you can modify to your needs
using environment variables:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

Finally, you may use the OpenAI facade to access the OpenAI API:

use OpenAI\Laravel\Facades\OpenAI;
 
$result = OpenAI::completions()->create([
    'model' => 'text-davinci-003',
    'prompt' => 'PHP is',
]);
 
echo $result['choices'][0]['text']; // an open-source, widely-used, server-side scripting language.

Check out the repo for full instructions and for usage examples, take a look at the openai-php/client repository.
