While Envoyer comes with Slack and Hipchat notifications out of the box we'll have to setup New Relic notifications ourselves. Luckily it's as easy as adding a deployment hook. Here's how to:

Add a new hook after the "Activate New Release" hook.
Add the following curl command as the script:

curl -H "x-api-key:REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_API_KEY" -d "deployment[app_name]=REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_APP_NAME" https://api.newrelic.com/deployments.xml

And that's it! Envoyer will now let New Relic know each time a deployment's made. You can be sure the deployment succeeded because it happens after the new release has been made active.

Debug your PHP in Docker with Intellij/PHPStorm and Xdebug

For your local dev, create a Dockerfile that is based on your production image and simply install xdebug into it. Exemple:

FROM php:5

RUN yes | pecl install xdebug \
&amp;&amp; echo "zend_extension=$(find /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ -name xdebug.so)" &gt; /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini \

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

	Quick tip for handling CSRF Token Expiration - common issue is when you use csrf protection is that if
	a form sits there for a while (like a login form, but any the same) the csrf token in the form will
	expire & throw a strange error.

	Handling it is simple, and is a good lesson for dealing with other types of errors in a custom manner.

	In Middleware you will see a file VerifyCsrfToken.php and be tempted to handle things there. DON'T!
	Instead, look at your app/Exceptions/Handler.php, at the render($request, Exception $e) function.

	All of your exceptions go through here, unless you have excluded them in the $dontReport array at the
