love a good story
Normally, with Laravel (@laravelphp on Twitter), if you create a model and use the “-m” or “–migration” flag to create the accompanying migration, it will pluralize the table.
So for example “User” model will use a “users” table; “Vehicle” model will use a “vehicles” table.
I just discovered however, that if you create a “Data” model, the table will also be created as “data” – not “datas”. It makes complete sense as datas isn’t a word.
I love using this framework.
Jams were a type of content popularized by the website This is my jam.
This is my jam has since gone into read-only archive mode. This is such a great way of closing a website — especially one whose content is mostly community-created.
I started to use the site at the end of last year to start saving songs that stood out to me at a particular time.
Thanks to This is my jam for making me an archive of my own. This means I haven’t lost all of my data with them just because they have closed doors.
I still love the idea of saving individual “jams” though, so I have implemented it on my own site as of today. I have also pulled my old jams into my site. Going forwards I look forward to documenting any new and/or forgotten gems that I hear in the future. They will all be found on my Jams page.
