Favorite packages
from our team

We've asked some of our colleagues about their favorite packages and why they enjoy them.

laravel-sluggable

It was the first Spatie package I've ever added to one of my composer.json files. At that time, I wasn't working for Spatie yet, but I loved the idea of such a simple package. It has only one use case: take the field of an Eloquent model and make a slug from it so that the model can be queried with that slug. The docs are excellent, and the API is easy to use. It is the perfect example of a terrific Spatie package. And it, in the end, made me start working at Spatie.

laravel-horizon-watcher

For saving me from the dozen times I wondered 'Why is my change not reflecting?' when I first started to work with queues.

Tim

laravel-blade-x

Despite being abandoned, the Blade X package now lives on in Laravel. It added custom HTML components to Laravel before Blade components were natively supported. Hacked together on a Friday afternoon when both project managers were MIA, this package started with an friendly discussion over lunch and ended with the entire Spatie team ditching 'real work' (who needs that, right?) to tinker with this gem. I love how an impulsive "there's nothing stopping us from doing this weird thing"-idea ended up with 180.000 downloads thanks to a fun afternoon with the team.
