AI can build your project and it can also ruin it.

Raymond Baghumian — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:33:10 +0000

At first, with precise prompts, it delivers modern, up-to-date code. But when it comes to refactoring and cleaning up, it may remove newer patterns without fully understanding the architecture, reverting the project back to older methods. This leads to increased technical debt, hidden bugs, and a codebase that becomes harder to maintain in the future.

The problem isn’t the AI itself it’s the lack of architectural control and constraints. If you don’t clearly define the framework version, design patterns, architectural rules, and boundaries, the AI tends to oversimplify.

Simply put:

When you build a project with AI, the first version looks impressive modern methods, new patterns, sometimes even over-engineered in a good way.

But when you move on to refactoring, code cleanup, optimization, and reducing complexity, that’s where things start to break. The AI loses the full context of the project. It removes modern dependencies, replaces structured abstractions with more generic (and sometimes outdated) patterns, and oversimplifies critical architectural layers.

The result? The project still works but the architecture has quietly collapsed. And if this continues, even advanced prompting may not be enough to recover it.

So if you’ve received a seemingly solid AI-generated project, you shouldn’t fully delegate maintenance, refactoring, clean coding, optimization, or architectural management to AI. The risk of unintended damage is high.

At the end of the day, you as the developer are responsible for maintaining, refactoring, optimizing, and safeguarding the structure of your project.

This was an experience I gained an interesting and valuable lesson.

Laravel Package : Easy creation with Laravel package

Raymond Baghumian — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 11:33:22 +0000

A Laravel package generator that streamlines the process of creating standardized package structures. Quickly bootstrap your packages with a complete, well-organized structure and focus on building functionality rather than configuration.

Features

Generates a complete Laravel package structure with a single command
Creates standard Laravel package directories (config, migrations, views, etc.)
Sets up composer.json with proper autoloading and dependencies
Creates a Service Provider with common Laravel integrations pre-configured
Includes testing setup with PHPUnit
Generates license, readme, and other essential files

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require rayiumir/laravel-package

After Publish Config Files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rayiumir\LaravelPackage\ServiceProvider\PackageServiceProvider"

The service provider will be automatically registered for Laravel 5.5+. For older versions, add the service provider manually:

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    Rayiumir\LaravelPackage\ServiceProvider\PackageServiceProvider::class,
];

Usage

Basic Usage

Generate a new package with the following command:

php artisan make:package my-package

This will create a new package in the packages/my-package directory with the default vendor name.
Customizing the Vendor Name

You can specify a custom vendor name:

php artisan make:package my-package --vendor=acme

Including Tests

To include PHPUnit test setup:

php artisan make:package my-package --with-tests

Generated Structure

The generated package will have the following structure:

packages/my-package/
├── config/
├── database/
│   └── migrations/
├── resources/
│   ├── lang/
│   └── views/
├── routes/
├── ServiceProvider/
│   └── PackageNameServiceProvider.php
├── tests/ (if --with-tests option is used)
│   ├── Feature/
│   ├── Unit/
│   └── TestCase.php
├── composer.json
├── LICENSE.md
├── README.md
└── phpunit.xml

Next Steps After Generation

After generating your package, you might want to:

Edit the composer.json file to update package details and requirements
Modify the Service Provider to add any specific functionality
Update the README.md with your package documentation
Add your migrations, routes, and views
Create your package's main classes in the src directory
If you used the --with-tests option, start writing tests for your package

Local Development

When developing the package locally within a Laravel application, you can add the repository to your application's composer.json:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "./packages/my-package"
    }
]

Testing Your Package

If you generated your package with the --with-tests option, you can run tests with:

cd packages/my-package
composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit

Laravel Slugable

Raymond Baghumian — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 20:07:39 +0000

Laravel Slugable is a lightweight Laravel trait that automatically generates slugs from model fields like title, name, or any custom source — and stores it in a customizable destination field such as slug, etc.

Perfect for blogs, e-commerce, CMS, or any app that needs clean, readable, SEO-friendly URLs.

Features

Auto-generate slug on model creation
Optional re-generation on model update
Customizable source and destination fields
No external dependencies
Support for Persian and Arabic Numbers to slug

Installation

composer require rayiumir/laravel-slugable

After Publish Files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rayiumir\\Slugable\\ServiceProvider\\SlugableServiceProvider"

How to use

Calling HasSlugable in Models Post.php.

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasSlugable;
}

Provided that the title and slug fields are in the database.

If you want to use a custom field for slug generation, you can easily do that:

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasSlugable;

    protected $slugSourceField = 'name';
    protected $slugDestinationField = 'slug';
}

Example

$post = new Post();
$post->title = 'Laravel 12';
$post->save();

echo $post->slug; // Output: laravel-12

Why Use This?

Because:

You don’t want to install a full package just for slug generation.
You need quick setup and full control.
You want to save time and avoid boilerplate logic in your models.

Laravel Metabox : Easy creation of custom fields for Laravel

Raymond Baghumian — Sat, 22 Mar 2025 23:16:50 +0000

If you have worked with WordPress, WordPress has a feature called custom metabox. The work of metabox in WordPress is that you create fields, you don’t need to create a database table related to its field. So the metabox itself has a special table that stores the received field data in key and value.

Well, we brought this feature of WordPress metabox to Laravel.

Installs

Install Package:

composer require rayiumir/laravel-metabox

After Publish Files:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rayiumir\\LaravelMetabox\\ServiceProvider\\MetaboxServiceProvider"

And Migration Database:

php artisan migrate

How to use

Calling HasMetaboxes in Models Post.php:

use Rayiumir\LaravelMetabox\Traits\HasMetaboxes;

use HasMetaboxes;

To delete post metabox data, place the following function in Post.php:

protected static function boot(): void
{
    parent::boot();

    static::deleting(function ($post) {
        $post->metaboxes()->delete();
    });
}

Read the following documentation to work with fields:

Library WireUI : Superseded FluxUI

Raymond Baghumian — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 21:16:54 +0000

A company Wireable has developed FluxUI library for Livewire and AlpineJS.

But the interesting part is that in the tariff section of this library, the total facilities to be used are 649 dollars. This tariff upset programmers and developers and why is the tariff so high.

Now, a Brazilian programmer has come with a pincer gas movement of the WireUI component library, which released FluxUI for free, which in short attacked the Wireable company, and now we can use WireUI instead of free FluxUI in projects.

Creating Custom Validation Rules in Laravel

Raymond Baghumian — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 23:52:32 +0000

by default we using request laravel which validates user input data.

but we want Create Custom Validation rules which by default request validation we don't use.

with under command create two file ValiMobile and ValiPassword:

php artisan make:rule ValidMobile
php artisan make:rule ValidPassword

I got for Regex from site under helping.

https://ihateregex.io/

Code VailMobile :

class ValidMobile implements ValidationRule
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
    public function passes($attribute, $value): bool|int
    {
        return preg_match('/^9[0-9]{9}$/', $value);
    }

    public function validate(string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail): void
    {
        if (!preg_match('/^9[0-9]{9}$/', $value)) {
            $fail('Your ' . $attribute . 'number is 10 digits and enter without zero.');
        }
    }
}

Code VailPassword :

class ValidPassword implements ValidationRule
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
    public function passes($attribute, $value): bool|int
    {
        return preg_match('/^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[#?!@$ %^&*-]).{8,}$/', $value);
    }

    public function validate(string $attribute, mixed $value, Closure $fail): void
    {
        if (!preg_match('/^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[#?!@$ %^&*-]).{8,}$/', $value)) {
            $fail('The type of'  . $attribute .  'is inappropriate and must be a combination of uppercase, lowercase letters and numbers.');
        }
    }
}

at the end Calling Two File VailMobile and VailPassword:

use App\Rules\ValidMobile;
use App\Rules\ValidPassword;

return Validator::make($data,
   [
      'mobile' => ['nullable', 'string', 'unique:users', new ValidMobile()],
      'password' => ['required', 'string', 'confirmed', new ValidPassword()],
   ]
);

Good luck :)

Install and Run Image Intervention in Laravel

Raymond Baghumian — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 21:47:02 +0000

When presenting version 3, the Image Intervention package has seen many changes. codes from version 2 are not compatible with version 3 and need to be changed.

OK.

Install Package Image Intervention :

composer require intervention/image

in users table, create image field :

$table->string('image')->nullable();

Creating Field image :

<div class="col-12">
    <label for="input8" class="form-label">Upload image</label>
    <input type="file" name="image" class="form-control rounded-5 @error('image') is-invalid @enderror" id="input8">
    @error('image')
       <span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
          <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
       </span>
    @enderror
</div>

in windows, enable imagick.so xampp extension. in linux Enter the following commands :

sudo apt install php-imagick
php -m | grep imagick
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Creating Function saveImage in User.php :

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;

public static function saveImage($file)
{
        if ($file){
            $name = $file->hashName();

            $smallImage = ImageManager::imagick()->read($file->getRealPath());
            $bigImage = ImageManager::imagick()->read($file->getRealPath());
            $smallImage->resize(256, 256, function ($constraint){
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            });

            Storage::disk('local')->put('users/small/'.$name, (string) $smallImage->encodeByMediaType('image/jpeg', 90));
            Storage::disk('local')->put('users/big/'.$name, (string) $bigImage->encodeByMediaType('image/jpeg', 90));

            return $name;

Learning Path For Web Development

Raymond Baghumian — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 12:35:26 +0000

Most of those who want to enter the field of web development and at the beginning of it are confused about what path is suitable for web development.

here defined path that suitable be web development.

I suggest PHP for beginners.

Path 1 : PHP/Laravel

Languages : HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP

Frameworks or Library : Bootstrap or Tailwind, VueJS, Livewire, ReactJS

Path 2 : PHP/Wordpress

Languages : HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP

Frameworks or Library : Bootstrap or Tailwind, ReactJS , jQuery

I wrote those two paths and choose one.

good luck.
