Generating A Drop-Down List

On many occasions, I use the subdomain to generate dynamic routes and a custom user experience. The current Laravel subdomain filter, requires a lot of extra work when generating routes. Each time you generate a route, using the laravel route() helper, you have to pass the subdomain as the first parameter. This provides an alternative method without having to pass the subdomain to route(). https://github.com/laravel/laravel/issues/2515 for additional follow-up

This is a simple macro in case you need to loop through a bunch of elements, without the need to use a foreach{}. There's support for Bootstrap class names: if your template's class attribute includes col-?-?, then this macro will add a "clear" tag to the end of each row, and also add a "row" class to the wrapper. To do (in a future release): pagination, multiple devices col- classes support.

I've used this technique to check if I have called any `->with()` or other relations loaded on a model. I had a need for this since I have a lot of methods that require relation data in order to generate an appended property on the model. For example, if I want to pull all of the recent Posts of an Author and I want to store it on the model as `posts_this_month`, I would need to have Posts relation loaded. I want to force myself to eager load that data before I try to access it, otherwise I could run into an n+1 problem.
