Mix

- Soure Maps:
    = They are telling the browser which file is responsible for a particular part of the minified code
    = It is not running by default, to run it, add .sourceMaps() in webpack.mix.js
- the files are in /resources folder

- Running mix:
    = npm run dev
    = npm run watch or npm run watch-poll if not worked
    = npm run prod


- for running without preprocessors
    = mix.styles("folder", "all.css"); // folder or array

- concatenating javascript:
    = mix.scripts("folder", "all.js"); // folder or array
- copying:
    = mix.copy() // file
    = mix.copyDirectory() // directory

- Versioning:
    = mix.sass().version() // mix versioning
    = mix("css/app.css") // mix helper in blades

- Vendor extraction:
    = extract the vendor files into a separate file
    = mix.js().extract() 
    = then use the three files in order
    = manifest.js, vendor.js, app.js

- Environment mix variables:
    = add the with MIX_ prefix in .env (MIX_APP_NAME)
    = call them in mix-compiled files process.env.MIX_APP_NAME

- Frontend Presets:
    = to use a built-in preset:
        -- php artisan preset react
        -- php artisan preset bootstrap
        -- php artisan preset none
    
- Pagination:
    = DB::table("table_name")->paginate(number_of_results_per_page)
    = links(): to render pagination controls
    = ->onEachSide(3): how many links would be shown
    = create manual paginators:
        -- Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator
        -- Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator (cares about pages links)

- Message Bags:
    = Illumiate\Support\MessageBag

- String Helpers:
    = They are available as methods on the Str class: Str::plural()
    = or global helpers: str_plural();
    = e(): htmlentities()
    = starts_with(), ends_with(), contains()
    = str_is() // first: regex, second: string
    = str_slug() // converts it to slug
    = str_plural('dog', 1) // dogs
    = camel_case(), kebab_case(), snake_case(), studly_case(), title_case()
    = str_after(), str_before(), trim and cuts the string after or before substring
    = str_limit(string, limit) // truncates it

- Localization:
    = App::setLocale($local_name) in boot() of AppServiceProvider
    = config/app.php: fallback_locale: default language
    = Basic Localization:
        -- __() helper for translation
        -- or @lang
        -- __("navigatoin.back"): resources/lang/en/navigatoin.php and looks for back
    = Parameters:
        -- "back" => "Back to :section Dashboard"
            // in the blade
            __("navigation.back", ["section => "users"])
        -- trans_choice("tasks.deleted", $num)
            // in translation file
            "deleted" => "You deleted a task|You deleted tasks"
        -- or more complex one:
             "deleted" => "{0} You deleted a task|[1,4] You deleted a few tasks|[5,Inf] You deleted a whole ton of tasks"
