Laravel 10.35 Released

The Laravel team released v10.35 with a Blade @use directive, a number abbreviation helper, the ability to generate a secret with artisan down, and more. Here is a bit more info about the new features introduced this week:

Add a Blade @use() directive

Simon Hamp contributed a @use() directive to import a PHP class into a Blade template without using raw PHP tags:

{{-- Before --}}
@php
use \App\Enums\WidgetStatusEnum as Status;
@endphp

{{-- After --}}
@use('App\Enums\WidgetStatusEnum', 'Status')
@use('App\Models\Bar')

{{ Status::Foo }}
{{ Bar::first() }}

Abbreviate a number with the Number::abbreviate() method

@jcsoriano contributed a Number::abbreviate() class to the newly added Number Class, which provides a human-readable abbreviated number:

Number::abbreviate(1_000_000); // "1M"
Number::abbreviate(100_001);   // "100K"
Number::abbreviate(100_100);   // "100K"
Number::abbreviate(99_999);    // "100K"
Number::abbreviate(99_499);    // "99K"

Add the --with-secret option to the artisan down command

Jacob Daniel Prunkl contributed a --with-secret option to the artisan down command that will generate a secret phrase that can be used to bypass maintenance mode so the user doesn't have to define one themselves:

Add Conditionable trait to the AssertableJson class

Khalil Laleh contributed adding the Conditionable trait to the AssertableJson class, to make it possible to assert based on a given conditional:

// Before
$response->assertJson(function (AssertableJson $json) use ($condition) {
    $json->has('data');

    if ($condition) {
        $json->has('meta');
    }

   $json->etc();
});

// After
$response
    ->assertJson(fn (AssertableJson $json) => $json->has('data'))
    ->when($condition, fn (AssertableJson $json) => $json->has('meta'))
    // ...
;
