There were some interesting solutions given, but I haven’t researched their methods and workability. I needed to implement this for a small project I’m working on. I went with a solution that [...]

June 5, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I’ve finally released a model and migration generator for Laravel 4, called Larry Four. Now, the idea is similar to Larry that I had created for Laravel 3.

It takes time to read and understand code written by another person. If you wrote something a while back, even you might find it slightly difficult to comprehend. There is one exception to this.
