Our spatie/crawler. package is one of the first one I created. It allows you to crawl a website with PHP. It is used extensively in Oh Dear and our laravel-sitemap package.
Throughout the years, the API had accumulated some rough edges. With v9, we cleaned all of that up and added a bunch of features we've wanted for a long time.
Let me walk you through all of it!
Laravel's built-in authorization is great when permissions are defined in code. With gates and policies, you can write logic like this:
// Defined in code, requires a deploy to change
Gate::define('edit-posts', function (User $user) {
return $user->is_admin;
});
But in some projects roles and permissions are dynamic: created by users, managed through an admin panel, or changed at runtime without deploying code. Our Laravel Permission package can help you dynamically create roles and permissions.
We just released v7 which doesn't bring any new features, but cleans up the internal code and modernizes it. Let me walk you through what the package can do.

At Laracon India, I launched a major update of Ray. For that talk, I needed a little demo project to showcase Ray. I built a simple website about a then-fictional mobile app to play a Scrabble-like word game called WordStockt.
But then I got curious: how far could I push AI-assisted development? Could I actually just create the whole game? After about 10 days, WordStockt is a fully functional word game that's 98% vibe-coded. It's available for iOS and Android. In this post, I'd like to tell you more about it.
I'm excited to share that we've released a new package called spatie/laravel-url-ai-transformer. This one can get the content of a webpage and transform it into something else using AI.
In this blog post, I'd like to share why I've created it and how you can use it.

We released a mini package called spatie/holidays that can calculate the public holidays of a country.
I'm happy to announce that we've released another new package: spatie/laravel-help-space. This one makes it easy to populate a custom sidebar in HelpSpace with the data from your Laravel app. In this blog post, I'd like to tell you all about it.
One of the joys of using packages in the Laravel ecosystem is how easy they are to install. Packages can be pulled in using Composer, and Laravel will automatically discover them.
In this post, you'll learn how to easily add an install command, making it even easier for package users to start using a package.
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new small package: spatie/laravel-model-info. Let's take a look at what this package can do.
A nice lighting talk given by my colleague Seb at the first edition of Full Stack Europe.
When developing web applications, you probably encounter a lot of places where someone needs to select one or more options in a select or multi-select. These select boxes always need a list of options with labels and values.
In one of our projects, we had options being generated in lots of places. Sometimes these lists of options were the same, leading to a lot of code duplication. Even worse, in some cases, different formats were used to output the same options.
That's why we've created a new package called spatie/laravel-options. It will take a resource which can create options such as an enum, a list of models or even a plain array. And will always create a standardized array of options you can use within your frontend application.
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new premium package called Laravel Comments. Using this package, you can set up a comments section in your Laravel app in no time.
We've made a nice, errr I mean epic launch movie to get you in the right mood.
Laravel Comments includes a Livewire component to render comments. Here's what it looks like:
Of course, we wrote extensive documentation, covering every aspect of Laravel Comments.
It comes with batteries included:
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
