 ===== Tricks =====
+==== dump / dump and die ====
+this has to be the first tip :) .. there is a helper function called ''dd()'' which stands for ''dump and die''. it dumps a variable and then stops further execution of the script. this is of course extremely helpful when learning stuff and trying out things.
+you may not always want to stop the execution, so another helper called ''dump()'' comes in handy here. it produces the same output but contines the execution of your script
+the latter is especially helpful when dumping variables in a blade. however, if you use
+<code>
+{{ dump($__data) }}
+</code>
+for example to get a dump of all defined variables in your blade, you are going to run into a laravel error which tells you that htmlspecialchars only works with strings but got something else (an array most likely)..
+so to use dump in a blade, you can use a blade syntax ''@dump()'' which does what the above is supposed to do but does not generate this error. a detailed explanation why the error is generated is available [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48731507/laravel-dump-unexpected-output|on stackexchange]]
