Laravel 10.23 Released

This week, the Laravel team released v10.23 with a new make:view Artisan command, support for PHPRedis 6.0, creating controller test files while creating a model, and more.

Add make:view Artisan command

Nuno Maduro contributed a new make:view Artisan command to create a Laravel blade view at the given path. The path follows dot notation similar to how view rendering works in the framework:

php artisan make:view users.index

# INFO: View [resources/views/users/index.blade.php] created successfully.

The above command will create the following template:

<div>
    <!-- The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment. - Thich Nhat Hanh -->
</div>

The command also has other helpful flags you can use to create a view test case or change the file extension:

# Create the view and a test
php artisan make:view users.index --test

# Create a Pest test to go with the new view
php artisan make:view users.index --pest

# Create a view with a different file extension
php artisan make:view users.index --extension=php

INFO: View [resources/views/users/index.php] created successfully.

Before/After database truncation methods

Cameron Wilby contributed two overridable methods to the DatabaseTruncation trait that are called before and after database truncation is performed:

/**
 * Perform any work that should take place before the database has started truncating.
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function beforeTruncatingDatabase(): void
{
    //
}

/**
 * Perform any work that should take place once the database has finished truncating.
 *
 * @return void
 */
protected function afterTruncatingDatabase(): void
{
    //
}

Create accompanying test file for controllers

Jason McCreary contributing passing through --test or --pest to make:controller when running a make:model with a controller. In addition to creating the model test file, it will create the controller test file as well:

$ php artisan make:model Post --controller --test

# ...

$ git status
On branch main
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php
    app/Models/Post.php
    tests/Feature/Http/
    tests/Feature/Models/

Support for phpredis 6.0

Steff Missot contributed updates to the framework that support the latest major version of the phpredis extension. This was updated in a backward-compatible way so that installations using earlier phpredis versions continue to work as expected. See Pull Request #48362 for details.
