hi great video and great examples!!! quick question, is this example code gonna be available on github or somewhere?

also i think you mentioned it but in laravel usually when i see singleton i usually see Singleton.php file and then all these helper classes such as Config etc relying on that one singleton file. What’s the point of doing what you did with the getInstance in a singular class when you can just have a static class. Alerts::init(text: ‘alert1’, status: ‘bg-danger’)

sorry if poorly worded and i’ve completed missed a key point haha. thanks so much for the great video!
