Sometimes you want to render a partial without sharing all the scope. I often found that the scope inheritance between highly decoupled UI modules makes hard to find errors, because we end up using similar variable names in each module (using @include) Let me show you an example:

In the official docs : http://laravel.com/docs/responses#special-responses, need to do `Response::json(...)` to create json response.

A Controller-based solution to add the CSRF filter to all POST requests.

Sometimes you need to use some packages only in your local environment, like for debug purposes. You can include service providers in your local configuration file app/config/local/app.php. You have to worry about indexes since if you just paste service provider, it will overwrite one with same index in original configuration.

Laravel passes 100% test coverage on Hip Hop Virtual Machine (HHVM) so you might want to try using it to host your next Laravel application. The advantage of HHVM is an increase in speed of executing your PHP scripts and thus boosting your application. This config was provided by Taylor Otwell.
